Lunch at the wonderful The Barbary

When the Coal Vaults shut its doors a few years ago now, it promised to return, and I was such a fan I kept my eager eyes peeled. Return it did, with a slightly altered moniker – now The Vault, hiding beneath the Soho stalwart Milroy’s. Unless you know you might not kn...

When I first got to Lady Dinah’s I thought, well this is a bit rubbish! I was showed downstairs where nary a cat could be seen and the ones I did spot were busy sleeping it up in their adorable little cat perches and houses. One cat was strolling around and everyone do...

Berlin Berlin is a clubnight playing homage to the sexiness of Berlin – nods to the hedonism of the Weimar republic and the dark clubbing possibilities of the modern city.
