It’s so refreshing when a restaurant breaks the mould to create something novel and spectacular. The Palomar opened last year on a nondescript street in London’s West End, and ticked all the boxes so completely that it was seemingly all anyone could talk about! The Palomar does have a smart restaurant area at the back, […]

With the success of Spitalfields speakeasy Discount Suit Co in mind, it was with great excitement that I watched the same team of drink aficionados unveil The Sun Tavern in Bethnal Green. The refurbishment has maintained the East End boozer’s historic charm – bare brickwork, original 19th century tiling and a copper bar come together […]

Corner Room is tucked away inside Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel, so you have to know about it to find it (you can thank me later!). And it certainly is one to add to your little black book. The interior is dominated by reclaimed pendant lights, no two the same; furniture is homely and the […]

Rawduck is rather annoyingly ‘in the middle of nowhere’, requiring a significant walk from whichever Overground station you choose. When this is considered, the busyness of the place is testament to its offering, which is comprised of high quality Mediterranean-inspired plates for sharing, accompanied by a list of cocktails and natural, biodynamic wines.

Gallery-goers would be wise to schedule a pilgrimage to Dulwich Picture Gallery when visiting London. After all, it’s the world’s first purpose-built public art gallery after Sir Francis Bourgeois bequeathed his collection of old masters “for the inspection of the public”.
