Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet 2026 review: Meet the new boss March 27, 2026 In automotive days of old, a mid-life facelift often comprised a set of clear indicator lenses and some extra plastic chrome around the grille. Maybe a standard rear wash/wipe if you were lucky. There are no such half-measures here. Despite appearances, the updated 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S – known to enthusiasts as the 992.2 [...]
Teeth ‘N’ Smiles review: Self Esteem is magnetic in dated show March 26, 2026 Teeth ‘N’ Smiles review and star rating: ★★ It’s unfortunate timing for playwright David Hare that Will Butler and David Adjmi’s Stereophonic, itself an electrifying rumination of life behind-the-scenes of life in a 1970s rock band, was one of the five-star hits of 2025. Its tender real-time examinations of relationships played out in exacting detail, [...]

Here’s the most beautiful Wetherspoons pub in London March 25, 2026 SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT WETHERSPOONS…I tend to find putting my morals in the cupboard for the sake of a trip there works out fairly well. Sure, founder Tim Martin’s political views may have cleared liberals out of his pubs quicker than Theresa May’s moves emptied the dancefloor, but it would take a hell of [...]
The new Simpson’s in the Strand is a classic for a new generation March 25, 2026 The culinary calendar is hotting up and the Square Mile and its surrounds are right amongst it. This week I turn to two restaurants in the City of London and the hotly-anticipated ‘new opening’ on the Strand, Simpson’s by Jeremy King. Kolamba East I first discovered Kolamba during the pandemic. One of the few successful [...]
The inside story of the controversial Southbank skate park March 25, 2026 Beginning with the construction of the Royal Festival Hall in 1951, the Southbank Centre in its current form was completed in 1968. When the Queen Elizabeth Hall was added in 1967, the space (or undercroft) beneath the venue’s walkway was designed as somewhere for visitors to sit and take in the view across the Thames. [...]
Two amazing London pubs have just reopened – but which to visit? March 25, 2026 Much of my early twenties was spent among the braying ponytails and pink pashminas of Parsons Green. The two mainstays for our diet of G&Ts and crisps were The White Horse (known to us as “the Sloaney Pony”) and Aragon House (otherwise called “Arrogant House”). Now these two London pubs, monoliths of Sloane Ranger culture, [...]
Nothing Headphone (a): The best budget headphones of 2026? March 25, 2026 Nothing Headphone (a) | £150 | ★★★★★ | nothing.tech When upstart smartphone company Nothing released its Headphone (1) last year we went from initial scepticism (not another phone company making headphones…), to tentatively excited (these actually look pretty cool) to fairly blown away (these might be the best value headphones released this year). They combine [...]
A hundred not out… yet: Why Veeraswamy is in trouble March 25, 2026 Veeraswamy, the Michelin-starred Indian restaurant on Regent Street, celebrated its centenary on 18 March. But it has found itself in the headlines for other reasons recently: glowingly reviewed by City AM’s own Adam Bloodworth two years ago, it is now in dispute with its landlord, the Crown Estate. Campaigners have even called for the King [...]
