One of the best airport restaurants in the world is in London and it is... a Wetherspoons

A London Airport has had one of its restaurants named among the 10 best you'll find at any airport in the world in a new survey based on the average reviews received by every international airport in the world.

You may be surprised to read though that neither Heathrow nor Gatwick were the lone London travel hub to make it into the list, which was put together using research conducted by travel experts at The Family Vacation Guide.

Using the average rating received by Airport restaurants across Google, TripAdvisor, and Yelp, they were able to create an average score out of five for every eatery, with just one restaurant at North London's Stansted Airport making the cut.

The Windmill is the eighth highest rated airport restaurant in the world

According to the data with an average score of four out of five across all reviews, The Windmill at Stansted Airport is the eighth best airport restaurant you can eat at in the entire world.

A traditional airport gastropub, it may come as a shock for you to find out that The Windmill is actually a JD Wetherspoon pub, though its layout and impressive design and decoration certainly set it apart from your local 'Spoons boozer.

The pub's name harks back to the windmills once common across the local area, with this reflected in the design which sees a huge windmill tower placed at the centre of the restaurant, with a ground floor seating area and more places to sit on a mezzanine level around the edges of the vast room.

The pub has a bit more to it than your usual 'Spoon's

A theme throughout reviews of the pub is the greeting service by staff who make sure you find a seat and serve you at the table.

One reviewer wrote on TripAdvisor: "One of the best Wetherspoons and without doubt the best café bar in Stansted Airport. Food and drink is good certainly good value but what makes it the best spot before boarding is the staff. Helpful, fun and genuinely kind. Brilliant place for a pre-flight bite!"

An airport pub breakfast with a pint before a summer holiday has become something of a tradition for British holidaymakers so this may well be the best place you can go to get your vacation started.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

-

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
