It’s taken five weeks, but finally, one of the fourth plinth-dwellers in Trafalgar Square has done what any self-respecting exhibitionist, not to mention Mr Gormley himself, would do, and stripped down to the buff. The man, identified only as ‘Simon M’, got his kit off …
Our caffeine fuelled continuing quest to show you some of our favourite coffee shops in London. Further evidence that the East Side is representing sophisticated coffee drinkers, Nude Espresso, just off Brick Lane, is providing healthy competition to established West Side Kiwi and Australian coffee …
