Rock’n'Roll Soul

Londonist had a great time watching The Bees at Brixton Academy last night, although we stopped just short of doing our chicken impression during Chicken Payback. If you took our advice and got yourself to Brixton too, and you’re in the mood for more funky …

Adventures in Museum Visiting

In order to show our readers that Urban Junkies is a really worthwhile addition to Londonist, we took their event advice and checked out the Under A Tenner installation at the Design Museum. We made our way down the Shad Thames (which was unfortunately overrun …

Unsigned Bands Update

Londonist spent last Friday at Club:Hedonistic (we do actually turn up at some of the events we post about) and had a very enjoyable time, indeed. Those of you who took our advice and also went will have enjoyed Fleeing New York, Hedon and the …

‘Why Don’t You’ For MPs

Londonist’s attention was caught today by an article in the Times headlined London – A Sad MP’s Guide. But, don’t be fooled, this isn’t an article written by some Tory backbencher, detailing his travels around the backstreets of Soho (if only). No, instead this is …

Wadley Livingstone Slagging Match

Veronica Wadley, editor of the Evening Standard, has “lashed out” out at Mayor Ken through her diary column in the Spectator (you’ll need to be a subscriber to read it though). Fantastic! This is what we like: a little bit of verbal sparring between two …

Festive Feeding Frenzy Fun

Londonist has been preparing Christmas dinner for our family for several years now, so we like to think we’re a dab hand in the kitchen. (It also gives us plenty of scope for ogling Nigella without feeling too guilty.) We usually prefer Nigel Slater’s approach …

London Just Keeps On Getting Friendlier

Londonist always wonders what people mean when they come back from holiday saying “..oh and the people were ever so friendly”. What did they do? Buy you a pint, give you advice on your love life and offer to let you sleep on their sofa …

No Salad Please

We’re on a bit of a meat mission today at Londonist. Although our ‘Londonist Loves’ post today was about the quality carnivorous collations of Bodeans, it’s a bit later now, and so maybe we’ve had a few pints and we’re hankering for something quick, cheap …

Loose Women

Looking at the timetable of London-based events for next week, there’s one that seems to just jump out at us: The benefits of female promiscuity at the Imperial College on 17 November. With a title like that how can Londonist resist? For just £8 you …

Shock News: London Weather Is Unpredictable

It’s a long time since we had any global warming panic (not counting the marketing campaign behind The Day After Tomorrow of course). So Londonist was pleased to see this report (PDF File), released today, which claims that “London could face summers as hot as …
