It’s great when it’s not busy but these times are rare. I suppose the fact that it’s a deli as well as a café increases its popularity. This makes it a good spot for inspiration though, so I quite like to come here to write this blog, despite it being overrun with push chairs, jesus [...]
If it wasn’t for the location this is the sort of place where old ladies would go. It’s traditional and unpretentious, spacious and it serves scones. Despite being in Spitalfields, it feels remarkably untrendy. Located on a busy thoroughfare to Brick Lane or Spitalfields Market, it doesn’t attract any particular crowd just a lot of [...]
I have a routine where each month at some point I go to borders and gather as many magazines off the racks as I can carry, all the while avoiding the irritated glare of the store assistants who know fine well that I have no intention of either a) buying any of them b) putting [...]
Magma is one of those lovely bookshops which sells all those wanky graphics books and expensive documentary dvd’s about fashion designers, plus every arty magazine in circulation, literally floor to ceiling, with guys who dress like members of Blur standing around with an open book looking into space, mouth slightly open as they’ve just found [...]
Tucked away up a narrow flight of stairs above the Soho bookshop on Charing Cross road is a little designer bookshop specialising in fashion and art books, many of which are hard to find. It is also home to a vast collection of the kinds of glossy magazines that no one ever reads as they [...]

I don’t go to galleries very often. This is generally because I HATE THEM. I invariably walk in the front door do a 360 degree spin and walk out again but not without commenting, hopefully within earshot of gallerist/artist/owner whoever, that I can’t understand how the artist could stand back, look at their arrangement [...]
I honestly can’t think of a better way to waste time than going to an art gallery and sometimes I feel like wasting time and on these occasions I come to the Tate Modern. Having said that the crap of the walls is too painful to bear so I generally bypass it entirely (after [...]
As a rule I hate all sports and bowling is no exception. Like karaoke people always seem to think that bowling will bit ‘rilly rilly fun’ so I’ve been dragged out more times than I’d like to mention. Every time I’ve been here it’s for someone’s birthday but despite the fact it’s such a cheesy [...]
