Love & Madness Presents Macbeth
It’s not often that you see a production of a Shakespearean play that involves suited and booted Cockney gangsters, folk singers huddled in the corner of an East End bar, and a chap with a resemblance to Brad Pitt indulging in some gratuitous smooching and bottom-groping with a woman dressed like Mary Quant.
Imli for Indian in Soho
For a restaurant reviewer, I’m not the most adventurous when it comes to food. Although I love the idea of sampling cuisine from an array of cultures and locations. When lacking confidence in my menu choices I often err on the side of caution, and almost definitely miss out on delicious dishes in the process.
Value for Vegetarian at Sagar Covent Garden
When I decided to venture to Sagar’s new restaurant on Catherine Street, in Covent Garden’s Opera Quarter, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Having only just opened, there’s little to be found out about it online. Their long-established restaurant in Hammersmith has received a widely differing mix of customer reviews, leaving me cautious and confused.
Je T’aime: Jane Birkin at the Barbican

Searcys at the Barbican
Back in 2003 the Barbican was awarded with the unenviable title of London’s Ugliest Building, and as the concrete monstrosity looms out of the darkness on a teeth-chatteringly cold December evening, it’s not hard to see why (The Queen, however, does not share this view. Apparently she pronounced it ‘one of the wonders of the [...]
Cathi Unsworth on London’s Dark Past
Author Cathi Unsworth is a mine of surreal and fantastic London folklore gems. She’s lived in Ladbroke Grove for more than 20 years, and has penned three novels set in and around this shifting, sprawling city. So when Cathi kindly conceded to confide some of these secrets, I was keen to discover which London-based beasts, ghosts, [...]
La Clique Wows London’s Hippodrome
The London Hippodrome is an ideal venue for a variety show like La Clique; the perfect combination of spectacle and sleaze, opulence and intimacy. And compère Mikelangelo, who only joined La Clique’s ranks last week, is pure sexual magnetism in a pastel-blue suit.
