June 26, 2026

Pride musical at the National Theatre review: ★★★★ Could there be a story more ready-made for a musical than the tale of the unlikely partnership between the gays and the Welsh miners?

Mexican Michelin stars arrive in the Square Mile at Ned pop-up

June 18, 2026

London’s options for good Mexican food are scarce.

A new restaurant below the imposing walls of the Bank of England is serving pasta – just don’t call this Italian food. I’m told the rare breed beef and marrowbone pasta is a British dish. Is a restaurant Italian because they serve pasta? As any City worker will know, Bancone’s silken threads are kneaded in the [...]
Inside City’s latest Irish pub: London’s poshest Guinness served here

June 5, 2026

The Square Mile’s latest Irish pub, London’s poshest, serves steaks with a Guinness jus From the polished mahogany bartops to the Prince-Charles-pulling-a-pint photos, pubs tend to trade on their ubiquity. No one wants to think about design credentials when they go for a pint. Or do they? The Horsemen & Fitzgerald’s, a new City watering [...]
Beetlejuice musical review: I’ve never heard West End fans scream this loud

May 28, 2026

Beetlejuice musical review and star rating: ★★★ It’s rare to experience screaming so loud that it feels as if some terrible force is pressing against your eardrums.
