Top o’the morrow to yah, Father Ted called and he wants all the Irish cliches back, please. Well he won’t be getting any this weekend because shamrocks, emerald green outfits and those ridiculous Guinness top hats will be out in force. However, if you’re keen to celebrate the man...
Pass me that coconut bikini and a grass skirt, I’m going to limbo over to the bar and grab me some pina colada. Yes, we’re in the world of tiki, that magical part-Polynesian, part-supreme-kitsch, place where it’s Hawaii every day of the year. They may all look TOTALLY IDENTICAL...
Remember kaleidoscopes, off of childhood? This was full-on Lucy In The Sky style tripping for 6 year olds, as the colours rotated and combined. It was legit nearly as mind-bending as those origami fortune tellers. Mine was red and plastic and without fail would induce a Timothy Leary experience. But now Londoners can repeat the sensation and on a massive massive scale, as Kaleidoscope at the Saatchi Gallery opens tomorrow and runs until May 5th – wahoo! London artist Laura Buckley specialises in ‘walk in multimedia’, no not a euphemism for James May’s wardrobe but rather giant, kaleidoscopic creations that are, if […]
South Kensington, a bizarre clash of old English respectability (seven bed house in The Boltons? That’ll be £49,000,000 please), meets French people (the Lycée’s on Cromwell Road) and a thriving Arab community, and all clashing with heavy throng of touristic all-comers heading to...
The Inner Circle is a dating app we covered a while ago and which received some ‘creative’ feedback, so we decided to give it a go and test it out for ourselves. The results? It actually sort of works! The Inner Circle is taking the opposite approach to regular dating apps and trying to get you off your phone as soon as possible by using IRL tips like hotspots and travel features, and hosting events that people actively recommended to us. It is just a solidly good app with fewer random people. The Inner Circle is taking advantage of a screening process that […]

If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram – so, er, everyone – then you’ll definitely have been subject to an influencer posing amongst coloured houses, cherry blossom wrapped around the surrounding trees and not a rubbish bin in sight. Colourful streets are quite the...
Michelangelo’s David, it’s one of the world’s most accomplished pieces of art man has ever created, chiselled perfection, the pinnacle of artistic achievement. There’s nothing that could make it better. Well, except maybe if it was made of chocolate. In fact, the same goes for pretty much every artwork, Munch’s Scream, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, if only you could eat them right? From the Mona Lisa to Dogs Playing Poker, we love art, but we also love food. So a new café coming to South East London sounds perfect, every dish is a work of art. Literally. Tender Touches is a […]
If the human world leaves you feeling rather morose then you’ll be pleased to hear that there’s a whole new world for you to explore. Let’s face it, immersive experiences are getting weirder, and weirder and weirder by the minute – but that’s why we love them, and we think you’re going to love this. The Otherworld is, quite literally, what it says on the tin; a neon-cum-pastel extravaganza that’s all about VR, immersion and zingy Scientific fanfare. You’d think the location was all hush, hush but it is in fact cuddled up underneath a railway arch in Haggerston. Take a […]
