EAT & DRINK

Lights, Camera

There are a few eternal questions concerning the state of London nightlife.

Why do big burly bouncers enjoy intimidating small women? Why do said women dress identically? And why, oh why, is it so damned impossible to find anywhere decent to go after 4am?

Answers on a postcard, or just read on...

The Obeah Club, from the legendary Rubber Ronnie, opens tonight, with a strictly invitation only party previewing the cult German film Black Sheep.

It's all louche and decadent, and perhaps best of all, open until 7am. A private members' club in the tradition of old - think Groucho when it was still exclusive and Soho House before it turned pink - it's for film, art and media insiders and the code's strictly 'what happens inside stays inside'.

 

And being as though it doesn't even get started until 11pm, it'll attract the bona fide night owls as opposed to City suits hoping to impress their Yankee management consultant peers.

Obeah, O yeah.

  • Piece of Cake

    Some say it’s better than sex. So it’s apt that London’s latest bakery is appearing in a derelict Soho sex shop, courtesy of fashion favourite Patrick Cox and Cake Boy’s Eric Lanlard. Oh crumbs...

  • Sibling Rivalry

    {mosimage}

    Little sisters steal your make-up. Younger brothers reveal your porn stash. But we’re coming around to the idea of younger siblings - especially when they’re as charming as the latest slew of restaurant sister-sites popping up around Londontown, including Polpo’s newest baby, Polpetto.

  • The Only Way Is Out, Ba-by

    {mosimage}

    London has it’s fair share of outdoor spots. And for sure nothing breaks the daily grind quite like a leisurely lunch in the wild with friends (preferably attractive ones: you’re on show here, remember). But fancy an al fresco nibble and all too often you find yourself with yet another slither of a Pret or a disappointingly greasy local Chinese. And just try getting a table out in the fresh, balmy air without at least 24 hours notice… Oh how those waiters laugh.

  • Lick This

    {mosimage}

    Looking for a way to cool down this summer? Time to stuff the frozen yogurt, take your tongue out of the freezer and wrap it around some of the city’s chicest new gelato joints – and they’re not too calorific either.

  • Feeding Frenzy

    {mosimage}

    Strawberries with cream, picnics in the park and canapés in the courtyard – a gastro-spread which only points to one thing – summer. But if traditional fare isn’t tickling your taste buds, there’s a new crop of quirky cuisine to tempt you away from the green.
