Berners Tavern should be your first thought when you fancy a dose of serious glamour in central London. Located inside the London EDITION hotel in Fitzrovia, there is nothing old school about this glamour, despite first appearances. Yes, the walls are covered with gilded baroque-style frames, but the overall effect is very modern and overtly […]

London is mad for ramen at the moment. There seems to be a new restaurant opening each month – and I think I have tried all of them! But there’s only one that I keep going back to – almost obsessively! – And that’s Bone Daddies London in Soho. With communal tables and high stools, […]

Since its completion in the Eighties, the ambitious conception for the multidisciplinary Barbican Centre retains its dynamic vision to this day.
