Cruise. A one-man show that takes you back to the whorey glory days of old London’s gay scene
Tour de forces don’t come much more forceful than Jack Holden’s Cruise, recently relocated to London’s glittering West End.
Princess Diana’s wedding dress to gawp at? Too fussy?
It may have emerged from the golden carriage horribly creased (well, they could hardly have a steamer in there, could they? It would have fogged the windows) but up close, in the current Royal Style in the Making exhibition at Kensington Palace, the wedding dress of HRH Diana, Princess of Wales is actually a bit of alright.
Shut your mouth, Fran Lebowitz. Oh, OK, don’t then.
When it comes to smart chat, it doesn’t come any smarter than as dished out by one Fran Lebowitz, the clumpy-shoes lesbian raconteuse of Old New York.
2021’s hottest new hotels #LONDON
9 cool hotels coming to London this year. For your pleasure.
5 Big Exhibitions to Look Forward to in 2021
Get a load of these!
Hark! It’s a Selfridges Christmas market!
It’s the most *checks notes* wonderful time of the year, even if Santa’s had to suck the alcohol out of those Lynx Africa deodorant sticks that have been piling up just to get this year’s party started.
Christmas at The Lanesborough? We’d love to!
We love The Lanesborough, don’t you? That Regency pile in kicky white that makes the streets of Knightsbridge pop, that was once a country retreat for Viscount Lanesborough back when George I was getting all handsy with the South Sea Company while everyone else was out shopping for bonnets.
Karen from Will & Grace coming to the West End, you say? What are we going to wear?
In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking now heaven knows… Kardashians getting their pudenda out for money and all sorts of carrying on. Makes you hanker for something a little, you know, less. And yet a little more. Which is where the hardy perennial Cole Porter musical Anything Goes written by PG Wodehouse comes in.
London’s most exclusive shopping experience is going digital, you say? For now, anyway.
There really is no shopping experience quite like Burlington Arcade and we don’t care what anyone says.
Another new hotel for London’s glittering Soho. Just look at it!
Been down Broadwick Street lately? All that hullaballoo on the right (left if you’re coming from Carnaby Street)? Right by the flower stall, The Blue Posts pub just there, Axel Arigato (nice Scandi trainers!) just over the road? That’s the spot. Wondering what’s going on?
Major art booty at Buckingham Palace
One thing royalty are good at is collecting decent art, especially royalty of the British kind. Only Elton John comes close.
Sweet Suite
It’s all about day-stays. Check out this one at St. Pancras Hotel.
Have Her Majesty on your coffee table!
If there’s one thing HMTQ (Her Majesty The Queen, who else would it be?) is good at it’s having her photo taken.
Nice (vegan) meat, mate!
The UK’s first all-vegan butchers opens in Islington
Middle Eight, London’s new immersive hotel.
A luxury hotel named after the catchiest bit of a pop song.
Is it a hotel? Is it a members’ club? (It’s actually a bit of both.)
Snazzy location, what about the hotel?
Welcome to London’s foxiest diner
This might just be the most eye-popping diner you ever did see
Trainers, much?
What do you get when you combine one of the UK’s most luxurious footwear specialists and one of London’s most exclusive retail destinations?
Love & Dancing & Horse Meat & Disco
As if the four superstar gay DJs behind the Horse Meat Disco brand weren’t genius enough with their global gay disco that pops up in London, Berlin, New York, Lisbon and at The Downlow during Glastonbury, they have now become even more genius.
Hampton Court finally gets a hotel fit for regal purpose
Been down to Hampton Court lately? You’ll know The Mitre, a hop, skip and a head roll from the gates of Henry VIII’s palace its very regal self.
