  • Cloth Cornhill review: A London icon returns – and it’s fabulous

    Life&Style

    Standing in the teeny tiny, Netflix-Christmas-film-coded courtyard outside Cloth Cornhill, I feel sad. This opening drills the final nail in the coffin of the former Simpsons Tavern, the capital’s oldest chophouse, which was on this site since 1757. Everyone’s got a story about whose fault it is that that chophouse closed. Rumours range from the [...]

  • The Cherry Orchard – Harold Pinter Theatre: Kristin Scott Thomas is luminous

    Life&Style

    The Cherry Orchard at the Noel Coward Theatre with Kristin Scott Thomas and Stephen Mangan, review and star rating: ★★★★ Luminous Kristin Scott Thomas is the perfect choice for eccentric, blinkered stateswoman Lyubov Ranevskaya in Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, a mound of gesticulating passion and nostalgic delusion as the broke matriarch being slowly and [...]

  • Artificial is a terrifying look at AI – and the year’s most important film

    October 13, 2026

    Artificial film review and star rating as OpenAI movie premieres at the London Film Festival: ★★★★★ It isn’t typically a film’s duty to push a political agenda, but with Artificial, the biopic of OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, there is a clear call to action. It is inevitable that people will ask: ‘What can this film [...]

  • Into the Woods, London review: Magical, overwhelming meta musical

    October 9, 2026

    Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim review and star rating: ★★★ Musical theatre can be self-referential, didn’t you know? Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine certainly do. Their Into The Woods maxes out on meta gameplay in this technically brilliant but at times baseless musical that can be terribly proud of itself. A baker and his [...]

  • Rent musical review: This dated show is admittedly full of bangers

    October 9, 2026

    Rent musical review and star rating: ★★★ It’s pertinently ironic that Rent’s press night coincided with the London Film Festival premiere of Elsinore, Andrew Scott’s remarkably tender AIDS drama. Perhaps in the late-eighties when this musical was conceived, even talking about the epidemic on a stage was politically powerful, even if it were sprinkled as [...]

    October 8, 2026

    The director of Ian Charleson’s 1989 National Theatre Hamlet production speaks to City AM about a long career in showbusiness, and how often national treasures have a dark side.

  • Elsinore review: I wept through Andrew Scott’s devastating AIDS epic

    October 8, 2026

    Elsinore at London Film Festival review: astonishing, devastating AIDS drama ★★★★★ Despite the rise of stories depicting the epidemic, the horrors of AIDS are still underrepresented in film and TV. Russell T Davies’ It’s A Sin brought freshness by focusing on fleeting moments of joy, and Simon Stone’s Elsinore borrows from that playbook with this [...]

  • The story of how Simpsons Tavern became Cloth Cornhill

    October 7, 2026

    City AM meets the men who transformed the much-loved Simpsons Tavern into the new Cloth Cornhill How much can you fiddle with the recipe of… a sausage? “We’re now on the ninth iteration,” sighs Ben Butterworth, founder of Cloth Cornhill. “We’ve been fine tuning the details.
