  • 27 Sep 2011 – 01 Oct 2011
  • The Music Room, 26 South Molton Lane

We are popping along to The Music Room gallery, on South Molton Lane tonight, where University College School’s Art Department will be presenting their first public exhibition, The Exit Strategy, under the watchful eye of the School’s Head of Art Alastair Gray: “Our aim is to demonstrate that the work of young artists can be...

Babbo Mayfair

  • 39 Albemarle St, Westminster, W1S 4JQ

Words by Alicja McCarthy. What’s this? A dinner invite to Babbo in Mayfair? How lovely. We do a little research (as you do) into this authentic Italian restaurant as we haven’t come across it before.  We’re silly happy to learn we’ll be dining at a world class place. Discovering that Chef Douglas Santi has worked... Read more

Tiger of Sweden launch at Selfridges

Words by Jim Pilling. Swedish guys undeniably have one of the best reasons in the world to look good – Swedish girls. With that in mind, it’s no wonder Tiger of Sweden’s threads are so unashamedly dapper. Thursday night saw the launch party for their menswear range in Selfridges as part of Vogue Fashion’s Night...

Electric Brasserie

  • Electric Brasserie, 191 Portobello Road

Words by Quentin Jones & Emma Paterson. August in London, and like any other month, we’re hungry. So in we trundle from the rain-soaked desolation of midweek Portobello to have our spirits lifted by the understated energy of the Electric Brasserie, gastronomic home to the well groomed and well-heeled. Moseying in for Monday night supper,... Read more

The Garrison Public House

  • The Garrison Public House, 99-101 Bermondsey St.

Words by Jessica Warren. We hate to admit it, but we don’t normally venture South of the river. Yet after visiting The Garrison gastropub near Tower Bridge, we will definitely be going back more often. We decided to take a fellow East London food enthusiast along with us for lunch, a very good decision in... Read more

Nike US Open of Surfing

  • Nike US Open of Surfing, Huntington Beach, Los Angeles

Skateboarding, riding a BMX and surfing are just the kind of activities that one dearly wishes they’d pursued as a kid, especially when one sees the pros in the flesh, at the top of their game, doing awesome tricks without a bead of sweat dripping from their serene brows. Well that’s certainly what it looks... Read more

Tracey Emin at Hayward Gallery

  • Hayward Gallery

Words by Emily Steer. It’s not an easy task to review Tracey Emin, as much of the stuff that makes us groan about her work is actually attributed to her many copycats – if we have to see one more ridiculous Cath Kidson-type object with a rude word proudly emblazoned across the front, we might...

Secret Garden Party 2011

  • Secret Garden Party

Words by Max Bergius. Secret garden partied out… that’s exactly how we felt when we returned home from the outrageously mega festival that is Secret Garden Party the other week. Let’s not kid ourselves – you have to be a certain age and be ready to party in every sense, to take full advantage of... Read more

Art in the Streets

  • MoCA, Los Angeles

Words by Max Bergius. In United States of America they love to be big and brash. The bigger it is, the better it is, from the size of the food portions to the size of the cars. Even the freeways are ginormous: fourteen lanes in places (seven in each direction) and the irony is, they’re... Read more
