Will scope the area out on the way home 2nite but wondering what suggestions London-based STW would make?
Got a (first) date next week and looking for somewhere comfortable and friendly, quiet enough to be able to have a proper conversation but not without any atmosphere at all. Don't like chains, would prefer a one-off pub or bar. Is there anything in Hays Galleria or should I trundle down to Borough?

I haven't been to Hays Galleria for ages but there definitely was a bar in there. Balls Brothers?? (Memory not what it used to be).

On a first date? 😉
Back doors? For a first date? Sounds like a classy girl!
Damn you CFH!
Drac - I'd be a fool not to see what you did there 😉
How about a nice meal? I mean, it's not too far away, so you could take her up the Oxo Tower....
beadales in borough market for wine. or if you like beer the rake, or more female friendly the brew wharf place as they do wine there.
i forgot the tapas bar on the corner just past natwest bank . think it's called brindisi
Yay. 2 helpful answers!
Let me guess - you want to go to Hays Galleria so you can make a cheeky visit to the bike shop on Toolley St. That's not going to get you a second date!
How about the Raymond Review Bar in Soho?
zakudia by Southwark Bridge (bottom of Ofcom building).
Unless it's another mental banker.
I went to Raymonds about 8 years ago. My mate fell asleep he was so bored.
Davys wine bar on tooley st.
If it's a nice day (unlikely I know) cross over to the city side of the bridge and go to the Regatta - It's moored a 2 min walk from the bridge on the west side. Sitting on the top deck watching the sun go down and the twinkling lights of London could be quite romantic
