  • Here comes the vit D: Do you need to take vitamin D, even during the sunny months?

    Come spring, the collective assumption tends to be: right, the sun’s back, the supplements can go back in the drawer, we’re fine now. We are, regrettably, not necessarily fine. The gap between “the sun is out” and “your body is actually synthesising enough vitamin D” is wider than most people realise, and the misconception that…

  • We visited El Siete, Soho’s new underground agave bar – here’s why you should too

    ,

    We visited El Siete, Soho’s new underground agave bar – here’s why you should too Tucked beneath the much-loved taco spot El Pastor on Brewer Street, El Siete is one of Soho’s newest underground drinking dens – a low-lit cocktail bar devoted almost entirely to the world of agave. The two-weeks old bar, opened on…

  • Here are eight feel-good things to do this Easter weekend

    , ,

    Four days off is a rare gift, and if April decides to behave itself this year – which, fingers crossed, it might – there’s no better city to be in than London over Easter. Whether you want to get outside and move, slow down and treat yourself, or spend a morning in the kitchen making…

  • April in food: London’s top new restaurants and bars to try this spring

    April is the month Londoners collectively lose the plot. The clocks go forward, there are two consecutive days above 14 degrees, and suddenly everyone’s convinced it’s rooftop season, booking outdoor spaces and showing up in a t-shirt and a light jacket. It’s a delusion, but a productive one – and this April, the openings are…

  • These foundations will give you the most beautiful, natural-looking coverage for spring

    We’ve all been there: standing in front of the mirror, baffled at how the foundation that looked flawless in-store now clings to every dry patch in daylight. Finding the right one is a never-ending quest – which explains the graveyard of half-used bottles most of us have stashed away. Come spring, our makeup needs shift…

  • We tried Tamila, the new South Indian hotspot in Soho – here’s what you should order

    ,

    Described by the founders as a “modern curry house,” Tamila has had an impressively swift growth trajectory. From a street food stall at Hackney Bridge in 2021 to three permanent outposts by 2026, its expansion points to a clear appetite for a more contemporary, distinctly British-Indian way of eating. Helmed by Tamil chef Prince Durairaj…

  • It’s spring (clean) time: how to declutter like a pro

    Spring brings a renewed sense of clarity, both literally and figuratively. The light changes, the air shifts, and suddenly those small, easy-to-ignore corners are impossible to unsee. If you’ve been conjuring a masterplan for a proper spring clean all winter, now’s your moment, and we’re here to help you make it count. We’ve pulled together…

  • Strike while the iron is hot: We visited Flipdog, the new Shoreditch bar making cocktails with an iron poker

    ,

    As keen self-proclaimed cocktail connoisseurs who have done our fair share of laps around London’s bar scene, we’re always on the lookout for the next bar that will shake things up – quite literally. Because in a city where bartenders clarify and ferment almost everything under the sun, innovation isn’t always easy to come by.…

  • Why you feel mentally exhausted—even when you’re doing everything right

    We can sleep well, eat reasonably healthily, and exercise a few times a week. And still, we’re spending every other minute of our days staring at our screens as though we’re reading a novel in Japanese. The fatigue isn’t physical, exactly, and it isn’t necessarily burnout either. It’s the low‑grade fuzziness that drapes over the…

  • Afternoon tea at Mariage Frères: It’s a full Bridgerton moment, but don’t wear a corset

    ,

    How many times have you absentmindedly wandered around Covent Garden? Dozens, if not hundreds, we would guess. And yet, if you’re like us (embarrassingly), you may never have noticed that just a stone’s throw from the square sits Mariage Frères, a five-storey townhouse serving over 1,000 varieties of tea. Upstairs, the Salon de Thé offers…
