Summer on the Southbank

In London, my favourite place to go in the evening when its light for that tiny bit longer is the Southbank. It’s full of quirky places to eat and drink, there’s always an impromptu performance happening from a street entertainer or the Southbank Centre themselves, and its surprisingly void of too many tourists who I suspect wander into the bright lights of the West End … Continue reading Summer on the Southbank

Being a lucky old Londoner, im within pretty close proximity to some pretty cool stuff that visits the capital (unless it’s in West London, then from Greenwich that’s basically like going to Mordor). And in the summer, unique and pretty bonkers concepts seem to flock to the capital. One such oddity that has recently arrived in Brick Lane’s Old Truman Brewery fresh from success in … Continue reading Garage, funk and golf made of junk
