Where to go on the pull

From an up-market Sloaney joint, where girls on the social-mountaineering circuit hunt for suited boys with large wallets, to a Soho bar where there's a frisson of opportunity in the air, Ed Sullivan reveals the places to pull. Plus, where to eat in Camden...

The Blue Bar
The Berkeley Hotel, Wilton Place, SW1
The Blue Bar is a seriously up-market Sloaney joint, where girls on the social-mountaineering circuit hunt for suited boys with large wallets. (020 7201 1680)

B@1
3 Ramsden Road, SW12
You'll find good service (usually) and top-quality drinks (always) in this long, narrow bar. Expect to see gangs of babes and (only just) post-pubescent boys whooping up a frenzy. (020 8675 7542)

The Couch
97 Dean Street, W1
A comfortable diner-cum-café bar by day, popular with local workers for its no-nonsense, value-for-money grub. Come the evening, though, and there's a frisson of opportunity in the air. (020 7287 0150)

WHERE TO EAT IN CAMDEN By Charles Campion

Café Corfu
7 Pratt Street, NW1
A bright and modern restaurant serving Greek (rather than the more widespread Cypriot) food. Good dishes and an expansive list showcasing Greek wines. £25pp ex-drinks. (020 7267 8088)

Pescador
23 Pratt Street, NW1
A traditional Portuguese venue that majors in fish dishes. Very much a local restaurant with a mainly Portuguese clientele and a friendly atmosphere.
£25pp ex-drinks. (020 7482 7008)

Viet Anh
41 Parkway, NW1
An authentic Vietnamese café that's cheap and friendly. The lengthy menu stretches all the way from rather good trad spring rolls to satisfying one-plate meals. £12pp ex-drinks. (020 7284 4082)
