The Great British Duck Race

Your Top Three... A Capital curry!
Bombay By Night
Hampton isn't short of Indian restaurants but this one has a reputation for good food and excellent service. Order the Paneer Masala, but make sure that you ask them to make it hot for you!
Rasa
This award-winning curry house has two locations on either side of Church Street in Stoke Newington. One side is meaty and they other is purely vegetarian, which surprisingly is always busier.
Masala Zone
The Soho branch of this chain is a brilliant place for a reasonably priced Friday lunch. We recommend the thali!
Budget London London on a shoestring
Budget London
It's credit crunch time and with prices on the rise it's sometimes nice to do something on a budget (or if you’re really lucky, for free!) so we have put together a list of great things to do out and about in London that cost hardly anything at all.
Itto
Joelle says "This little restaurant, just round the corner from my house, would be the type of place I imagine is scattered all over New York. You know, the cheap little neighbourhood Japanese restaurants where locals go for quick bowls of steaming noodles when they can't be bothered to cook anything."
The Stockpot
Andrzej from Fulham says "A small but friendly & cozy restaurant with good food, great desserts and super-warm and friendly staff. The food is always tasty - a strange mixture of Italian, British, Mexican and international dishes."
Italiano Coffee Company
This place is a regular haunt for local students. With pizza starting from £3 and as much chili oil as you could ever dream of, who cares if the staff are a little unfriendly and the seating uncomfortable.
Indian Veg Bhelpoori House
There are many all you can eat buffets in London but this little gem in Angel has traditionally homemade veggie dishes for a very tiny price. We like it lots.
The Duchess Discover a majestic London
The Duchess
Keira Knightley plays the Duchess of Devonshire in her new movie based on Amanda Foreman's biography of the scandalous, 18th-century English aristocrat. See some exclusive movie stills here.
Osterley Park and House
This grand mansion built in 1575 is sitting in 350 acres of parkland. It's most definitely a royal setting and has been the set of Doctor Who and The Grass is Greener starring Cary Grant. We think it's worth a visit.
Kenwood House
Notting Hill had a scene filmed here and it's not surprising, it's beautiful. Kenwood also has a lovely little cafe and a great courtyard. It does get busy on sunny days so get there early
The Greenwich Foundation For The Old Royal Naval College
The Naval College is a great place to meander around on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It's not changed a jot in the last 300 or so years and remains as impressive today as when Wren first built it.
Spot a Celeb Celebrity Safari
Spot Gareth Gates here
Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes in Old Street is a ubercool hang out. Yep we were wondering what Gareth Gates was going there too!
Spot Alexa Chung here
The hottie can be stopped having a regular pint in The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. It's quite a nice pub too.
Spot Tim Burton here
Now if your lucky and you pop into The Roebuck in Belsize Park for a pint or two, you may spot the legend that is Mr. Tim Burton.
Spot Kate Nash here
This grotty little place is a local hang out for Kate when she gets back home to Harrow. If you fancy a pint with her head on down to Trinity in Harrow.
Spot Peaches Geldof here
When she's not getting married in Las Vegas you can find here in The Three Crowns pub in Stokey, having a lovely Sunday Roast.
Whats on this week Check out the latest events happening next week
Thames Festival
Haven't had enough festivals this summer? Get yourself down to the river for The Thames Festival and sample the music, dance, food and culture of London.
Sizzling Summer BBQ
If the rain holds off there will be a summer barbecue on the cafe terrace, accompanied by live music at the Wetlands Center in Barnes.
The Art of Drinking
Rather than just drinking it how about finding out a little bit of history about the joy that is beer. It's education and entertainment at the same time.
Otters and Meerkats
A very cute display of some of the furry friends at Battersea Park Children Zoo. Don't forget your camera...
Roller Disco
Get your skates on and get down with the cool kids at the Roller Disco. You may need to practice first as you won't look cool if your hanging off the side.
