J Sheekey Restaurant & Oyster Bar

Crossing The Strand on the way to J Sheekey from Embankment tube station, I saw members of Unison, the public sector union, marching. "Say NO to cuts", was emblazoned across placards. There was some half-hearted chanting, on a similar theme, orchestrated by people with tinny megaphones. The continued existence of this audio aberration, redolent of 1970s school fetes, seemed absurdly anachronistic. These protestors were doubtless sincere. But was London listening?
