With a couple of cocktail bar triumphs under its belt already (Bourne & Hollingsworth, Reverend JW Simpson), the team behind has created another must-visit destination with Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings, just a stone’s throw from Exmouth Market in trendy Clerkenwell. The architects and interior designers have created a stunning restaurant space that is reminiscent of […]

First impressions are deceiving when you arrive outside this former Victorian library in the heart of North London bohemia. Camden Arts Centre has long been an institution of alternative artistic development with a focus of public participation at the core of its exhibitions, which are by emerging and established artists. Look out for the artist […]

A hub of creativity lies behind the Brutalist concrete walls that make up this urban complex and Instagrammers’ paradise in the heart of London. Since its completion in the Eighties, the ambitious conception for the multidisciplinary Barbican Centre retains its dynamic vision to this day. Lose yourself between the network of music halls, cinemas, theatres […]

Matt Whiley is a bit of a cocktail celeb here in London. With bars such as Talented Mr. Fox and Purl under his belt, he’s known for his experimental approach to mixology. In fact it’s common for his bars to look more like science labs, with bottles and potions bubbling and steaming behind the bar, […]

The museum houses the national collection of British art from the sixteenth century through to the present day including […]

I first ventured into TAP Coffee on Wardour Street in search of cold brew coffee – the ‘in’ thing to drink at the mo. TAP delivered in spades, serving the punchy chilled beverage in a brown glass bottle labelled with an oh-so-hipster luggage tag. Combined with top-notch cakes (baked on the premises) and a rustic […]

If you find yourself on an industrial street in Hackney, you probably won’t realise your proximity to one of the most beautiful brunch spots in London. Bistrotheque is totally unmarked from the outside, so you’re going to need some gumption to stroll on in through the unmarked door and up the stairs. When you reach […]

Wandering through London’s Soho on a summer evening, Blanchette’s French doors are flung open, with tables and hubbub spilling onto the street, and a glow from within that draws you across the threshold. The bistro’s bare brick walls, industrial furniture and tiling murals are stylish and homely, and the staff are enthusiastic in their menu […]

Set inside a swanky Georgian townhouse in London’s Soho is the Dean Street Townhouse – the location of one of the city’s most indulgent Sunday roasts (favorite trimmings included). Unlike its exclusive sister establishment Soho House which is located nearby, non-members can stay and eat nostalgic British comfort food inside the chic French bistro interiors […]
