Gift Guide

Urban Junkies: Gift Guide

Mummy dearest, Daddy darling, brother, sister, lover and that hard-to-buy for friend we all hate; if only Christmas wasn’t the time of year for generosity. Let UJ take the sting out of gift giving with our guide to all things festive and fabulous. And if you fancy sending something to settle under our rather bereft office pine, please do so. We do, so generously, provide you with daily joy after all...

  • The New New Covent Garden

    {mosimage}

    So Apple launched their new store in Covent Garden over the weekend – it’s certainly gorgeous: all original stone archways and lashings of modern steel to match the svelte iGadgets that we covet so. And maybe now the ‘improved’ Genius Bar will actually be able to fit us in when everything goes techno-t*ts-up..

  • i-Cant Take Anymore

    {mosimage}

    Marvellous as it may be, technology has yet to become truly holiday friendly. Sure iPads can tell you the state of the stock markets, but they certainly can’t keep themselves afloat. So for your perfect vacation companion, head down to your newsagents tomorrow and invest in a copy of the inaugural MONOCLE newspaper.

  • UJ Dates

    Is it a terrible idea to talk about sex on a first date? How far should a dating agency go to make our romantic dreams come true? And just how long should you wait before you give in and text? Urban Junkies’ token singleton embarks on a quest to test the capital’s top dating agencies and find ‘the one’. Or a ‘one’. Or anyone. Hey, times are tough. But then so is our girl.

     

  • Property Spy: Architects for Charity

    Get top RIBA architects to help redesign your home for a mere £40 – and in the name of charity to boot.

     

  • Homes & Gardens

    Where would a quintessential British Summer be without Glasto, Henley and Wimbledon, hmm? But before you hot-step it to Henman Hill or plant your pegs in the mud, we’ll let you in on this year’s secret. It’s all happening in other people’s backyards…
