Already a familiar sight in 15 countries, Italian food market Eataly is finally dropping anchor in London at the end of April. Its first UK venue is a whopper at Broadgate next to Liverpool Street Station in the City. A kind of epicurean B&Q superstore, the 42,000 square foot temple of gastronomy features a huge retail
Fidelio Orchestra Café is an eating and drinking establishment in which classical music happens. But not in the way you probably imagine, where posh old people slowly saw through beef fillets while studiously ignoring an insipid string quartet. No, Fidelio’s is for people who a) enjoy fun and b) actually like music. The café is due to open its doors
No more than 10 minutes after publishing our 2021 Disneyland Summer Crowd Predictions, I received a tip that California may now allow fully vaccinated visitors from out of state to visit theme parks. In this post, we’ll cover details, offer commentary, and why this may or may not be the case. Before we get started,
Trains, eh? They’re cool, right? Especially London’s ones. Woof! Who doesn’t love a little ride under the ground every now and then? I certainly do. The highly polluted wind in your hair, the sweaty backs of other commuters pushed up against your torso. If you’ve found yourself monologuing like this throughout lockdown, you should be
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure theme park reservations are now available with no virtual queue or website woes. Now that the dust has settled, we thought it’d be worth offering some analysis and Summer 2021 crowd predictions for Disneyland and DCA.

When we wrote about the city’s first igloo-style PVC party domes in 2016, we did not anticipate that they would still be doing the rounds five years later, but here we are. They’ve popped up on rooftops and along the river, but now they’re headed for the Queen’s House (no, not that house and not
In the last week plus, there has been news about the future of face mask mandates and physical distancing in Orange County. (Walt Disney World’s home in Florida–not to be confused with the other Orange County in California where Disneyland is located!)

A community-run institution that opened nearly 40 years ago may be forced to close after its landlords – Lambeth Council – announced its annual rent could rise from next to nothing to £45,000 within four years.

In one of the more unexpected hook-ups to emerge out of late lockdown in one at the Design Museum in Kensington. Inspired by gin brand Bombay Sapphire, and designed by repeat hoarding-botherer Camille Walala (she of the colourful reimagining of Leytonstone), the new pop-up shop ‘Supermarket’ is selling pimped versions of everyday household items, including

This week has taught us an important lesson. Nothing will stop Londoners in their quest for a pint in a beer garden. Really windy? Don’t care. Freezing cold? Sure, no problem.

Admiralty Arch, overlooking Trafalgar Square, is a really grand, grade I-listed monument. It really is a big old arch. Next to The Mall. It has a nose on it. As you well know, a large structure can only exist for so long in London before someone builds a restaurant or a hotel (with a restaurant) inside
There have been plenty of stories over the last year of new bars and restaurants opening just in time to have to shut again for lockdown. It’s a lot rarer to hear of a place that has timed its (re)opening to perfection. But such seems to be the case with Sydenham/Catford’s Perry Hill pub. The
Light installations are a big industry. Every year, bright, ambitious projects light up somewhere in London, whether it’s in the name of art, like the ‘Constellations’ piece from Anthony James that’s currently beaming over Oxford Street, or in the name of Christmas, like the multicoloured LED trail that appears every year at Kew Gardens.
