Most Londoners have walked past The Centrepoint building on Tottenham Court road over the past few years, but most won’t have given it a second thought. From street level the building seems in a permanent state of renovation, the entry stairs are dingy and often mistaken for the tube entrance directly below. But Centrepoint is…

Coppa: Rooftop Sun While It Lasts
London’s weather was in a indecisive mood the day I made an unwise decision to visit Coppa. With a group of girlfriends we made the trek though london fields and eventually managed to find Coppa’s hidden stairwell entrance. It may seem dingy at first glance, but this hidden stairwell leads to a rooftop terrace of…
Burger Day With Hache
To celebrate National Burger Day yesterday I visited my local Shoreditch Hache Burger joint. Burger Day, in association with Mr Hyde, offered 20% off our burgers so, as the saying goes, “any excuse…”. The burgers read like a list of ethnicities; the Catalan, the Mexican, the Canadian, the Louisiana etc. I tried the Catalan which…
Bistrotheque: Worth A Game Of Hide And Seek
Bistrotheque embodies the current dining trend for “luxe squat” style east London locations. This Hackney hotspot can get hipster brunch lovers all excited with its unmarked industrial location, (it took me 30 mins to find an unmarked door and nervously descend a staircase to Who Knows Where) but caters to the YUPIs and foodies with…
Trendy Tinctures At The Culpeper
The Culpeper, Commercial Street, Is a great after work drinking spot for Aldgate city workers. Downstairs it’s a corporate – friendly drinking hole, while a rooftop kitchen garden nods to its Shoreditch hipster neighbours. The cocktail list is unique while being fashionable (lots of prossecco and spritz options). The best thing is the tinctures –…
The Frugal Foodie: Patty And Bun
I’m currently on the search to find London’s best burger, and Patty & Bun is currently sitting in first place for the title. I visited the Liverpool Street branch and tried a burger, wings and skin-on-fries and it was the highlight of my week. With just a few seats this is hardly a fine dinning…
Raised To Great Heights – Sushi Samba
Who wants everyday Japanese when you can have you raw fish with a view? Nobody right? I guess that’s what Sushi Samba’s creators thought when they decided to open a London branch in Heron Tower. Sushi Samba is the ultimate summer date location, with a delicious menu of Japanese with a twist, fabulous service, and…
Dalston Street Feast
Street food markets are nothing new to London, but, with a temperamental climate, it’s hardly the ideal city for dining alfresco. Street Feast’s creators have hit the money with their current Dalston venue. Technically it’s still outdoors enough to keep the word “Street” but it’s covered enough to keep business coming in any weather. The…
It’s Ice, But Not As You Know It
Somerset House in the summer is delightful, you can sit on the terrace with an aperitif and enjoy spectacular views of the London Eye, Southbank and Big Ben. Alternatively, try lunch at one of the courtyard cafes and watch children playing in the summer fountain display, in this heat you may even be temped to…
Just Opened: Brooklyn Coffee
They’ve just celebrated their one month anniversary in one of the trickiest coffee selling environments known to man – a hot london summer! Ā But, despite the call of cold cider elsewhere, Brooklyn Coffee has quickly managed to gain a reputation for having the best coffee on Commercial Road – and certainly holds it’s own on…
