Jonobie, it sounds like you're having such a wonderful time! I finally followed the link Jeff sent me and found your livejournal page, and I'm really enjoying reading about your trip. Especially your scone...do you think the scone place would give you a recipe? Apparently I'm hungry.

Happy exploring!

Red Fort is quite good. Glad you are having such fun! Since you are in the right area, I think, if you want Chinese, I'd recommend Hakkasan
8 Hanway Place, London W1T 1HF

If you go for dinner, I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation.
