August 18, 2022

Cruise is one of only a handful of West End openings this August, so thank goodness it’s a hit. A lucky few were already privy to how good Cruise is, with the show making headlines in May 2021 when it opened as the first post-pandemic West End production. “I knew that a solo show would [...]

Horrifying combinations, guests alerting dinner party hosts to chemical smells wafting from the kitchen and, yep, tomato ketchup.

Feels Like June restaurant review: A summer rush of escapism in Canary Wharf

August 10, 2022

There’s nothing like being a tourist in your own city. Sometimes I go to Canary Wharf to pretend I’m in Downtown New York, with its vertiginous skyscrapers, wide thoroughfares that expand alongside water basins, and steakhouses and cocktail bars offering solace to tired bankers. New Canary Wharf restaurant Feels Like June sounds like the perfect [...]
Thames welcomes the Götheborg, the ocean’s largest wooden sailing ship

August 8, 2022

If you were along the Thames this morning, this might’ve noticed a giant pirate ship-esque vessel smoothly sliding through Tower Bridge. That was the Götheborg, passing through London on its way to Asia. It made quite the storm on social media, where workers and tourists stopped for a moment to film the pristine transition of [...]
Why Devon’s Salcombe is the new hotspot for holidaying Londoners

August 8, 2022

Apparently there’s been a raft of Londoners arriving in Salcombe absolutely fuming. Their Chelsea Tractors have been getting stuck down Devon’s tiny roads, and even the most expensive sat-navs are flummoxed by the windy-windy routes. What’s caused the spike in first-time visitors that seem to be getting lost, and were they aware before they set [...]

August 5, 2022

Mid century American writer and lyricist combo Rodgers and Hammerstein are having a moment. A new experimental version of their most famous musical, Oklahoma!, played at the Young Vic earlier this summer, and now there’s a fresh version of South Pacific.

Phantom Peak review: £34 without any drinks? Call the sheriff – let’s shut this place down

August 5, 2022

Workers are spending more than seven pounds on a pint these days in London. I have been one of those people. Getting ripped off is tiring, but so many places rip you off in London that it feels impossible to keep track of what’s actually a good price, and what feels acceptable but actually isn’t. [...]
London cocktail bars for summer, from rooftops to new terraces

August 2, 2022

London cocktail bars are proudly dingy places. They’re described as “subterranean,” or “dimly-lit” or “dens.” That makes sense in the winter when we want to escape the bitterness with a biting smack of tequila on the tongue. But what about in summer, when we’re still after fine cocktails but with some more air to breathe, [...]
