Admiral Codrington & the Hennigans

Sounds like a great band name, right? Well, it is no band, but it was the adventure I got to experience last night!

I arrived in London from Tokyo yesterday afternoon and tubed to the hotel near Green Park. After meeting my colleague Casey at the front desk while I was checking in, we headed to South Kensington and met good friends Brian & Kirsten Hennigan for an outstanding dinner at The Admiral Codrington.

'The Cod' is an awesome Gastro Restaurant Pub with a tradtional English pub up front with an awesome restaurant in back. We sat in the heart of the photo above -- interestingly below a fully open rooftop! Given that yesterday was 80 degrees in London, it was amazing to be sitting "outside" on such a beautiful night.

Speaking of beautiful, we also scored a Celebrity Sighting. Courtesy of suave BHennigan, who quietly said, "Isn't that the actress who played the Star Wars Queen?". While he was thinking of a Natalie Portman role, Keira Knightly was just behind us! And kudos to Brian for thinking they look alike -- I think so too and no one seems to believe me!

Brian Hennigan, no wonder we are friends. That, and that you're a total stud.
