The other weekend some friends and I went to participate in that age old tradition known as Sing-a-long a Sound of Music… As it started at a reasonable 1pm at the Prince Charles Cinema around the back of Leicester Square we looked for a nearby brunch venue first. We couldn’t get into Kopapa or Dishoom,…

Boutique brewing in Walthamstow
My friends based in Walthamstow have been telling me for ages about a little industrial estate where a brewery and a gin palace sit opposite each other. So when I headed up there to see them a few weeks ago we made it to the Ravenswood Industrial Estate and the Wild Card Brewery & Mother’s Ruin: …

A night in Kings Cross
Last Thursday I had a night out in Kings Cross. Back in the day when I was at Uni, a night in Kings Cross would be where you would end up when blind drunk and if you weren’t careful propositioned by the local prostitutes. Needless to say Kings Cross has come a long way since…
Street food extravaganza
This weekend has been busy on the foodie side. Not only did I visit Street Feast Dalston for the first time in 2 years (oh and how it’s expanded!), but I also got to vote for the London heat of the Street Food awards at Kerb Kings Cross on Saturday. So the street food epic…

The venue itself was unique and interesting – the plain rooms decorated with murals depicting furniture in black and white, which contrasted…
