Travel/Food 2018 – La Nonna and Bar Douro, London
Thursday, 20th December 2018 – La Nonna, Bar Douro, London Having taken an afternoon off in order to use up the last of my holiday for 2018, and to make it easier to do some serious food shopping, IÂ decided I would walk to Borough Market from the office. It takes a good 20 minutes…
Food 2018 – Moro, London
Saturday, 8th December 2018 – Moro, London A trip to Moro in December has become a tradition for ourselves and a number of our friends, and is tacked on to the end of a visit to Sadlers’ Wells Theatre for whatever dance treat Matthew Bourne has laid on in the run up to Christmas. This…
Food 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London
Monday, 8th October 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London I’m a massive fan of Michel Roux Jr and his cooking style, which is basically proper French cooking taken to the extremes of refinement, nothing flash, nothing “molecular”, nothing outré or extreme, just the best possible ingredients, cooked to perfection. However, as a consequence, it’s…
Theatre 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London
Saturday, September 29th 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London We swore after our 2016 “Year of Lear”, having seen Michael Pennington, Sir Anthony Sher and Dame Glenda Jackson all give superb if wildly different interpretations of the role, that we would spare ourselves the gloom of it for a while and would…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London
Thursday, 13th September 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London It had to be done. I’d said nice things about the Duck Truck on Twitter and out of the blue they offered me a free lunch, so on a sunny Thursday lunchtime I decided I’d collect on the offer. I also…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 3, Pedways/Highwalks, London
Thursday, 23rd August 2018 – Pedways and Highwalks, EC1 & EC2, London Another sunny lunchtime, another opportunity to circulate round the City of London getting fresh air (well at least once I got away from the main roads), some exercise and a look at some more of the history, both ancient and more recent, of…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 2, The London Mithraeum, Bloomberg Arcade, London
Thursday, 16th August 2018 – The London Mithraeum, Bloomberg Arcade, London I recently came to the conclusion that my lunch breaks on the days I don’t work from home could be usefully dedicated to doing some tourism in London, especially given how close the office is to a number of interesting sights and sites. And…
Travel/Food 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 1, Old Spitalfields Market, London
Tuesday 8th August 2018 – Old Spitalfields Market, London It’s all very well working somewhere for a couple of years but eventually you get a bit bored with the same old streets every day. With that in mind, I’ve resolved to do some “lunchtime tourism” to see what I can see in the space of…
Travel 2018 – Cart Marking Ceremony, The Worshipful Company of Carmen, London
Wednesday, 18th July – Cart Marking Ceremony, City of London, London I was quietly minding my own business en route to the office, and I rounded the corner into Gresham Street to find it and the surrounding streets slowly filling up with horses, carts and vintage lorries and buses of many kinds. The first warning…
