When I was studying art at school - for GCSEs that I took in 1991 and A-levels in 1993 - I was lucky enough to be able to go on plenty of study trips into London to visit galleries. These trips were usually to look at the permanent collections of large public institutions and, as... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, I went to see the joyous jukebox musical & Juliet for the third time and started to wonder why I hadn't yet reviewed it. I saw it once on its preview run at the Manchester Opera House, and once more on its official opening night at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London, so I... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend the iconic event Goodwood Revival for the first time, and so I thought I'd share a little window into my experience.

We hadn't met up in far too long, and the brunch menu here is something quite different, so we were all excited to get together in Bethnal Green and celebrate our move to... Continue Reading →
When we had this Brunch Club gathering on Sunday 25th November 2018, it ended up being a 'mini' version as our beloved Eleanor was sadly unwell and couldn't join us. In the past we have decided not to review places when we don't have all four brunch clubbers in attendance, but we have decided to... Continue Reading →
Our autumn Brunch Club adventures continued on Sunday 28th October 2018 at the City branch of Caravan, 22 Bloomberg Arcade, London EC4N 8AR.
