Theatre 2018 – The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Noel Coward Theatre, London
Saturday, 30th June 2018 – The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Noel Coward Theatre, London London theatre these days seems to be in the throes of a slightly odd period, where it’s still wall-to-wall musicals (gods help us), many of them old, some of them revivals, some of them new but rehashing old music, and the odd…

Food 2017 – Street Food, Various Locations, London
Various Thursdays – Kerb at the Gherkin, Lunch Market and Borough Market Working now in the City I have access to a lot more choice for lunch than the ghastly chains of Canary Wharf with the once a week street food provided by Kerb. Instead I am now withing walking distance of another Kerb, this…
