This week's Time Out features the Best of London:  "No fuss, no fluff - simply the capital's greatest comedy nights, hidden galleries, classic clubs, old-school caffs, shoe shops, film houses, hip theatres... the definitive guide to the best London has to offer." 

Certainly worth a peruse.

The First Risotto Bar in London


As every Italian living abroad my endless quest is to find in every corner of the world a decent Italian restaurant where I can feel at home..

Well, to be honest I've tried it all, from overcooked, sticky pasta to overstuffed pizza, even greasy,   heavy risotto..until I tried out Ooze.

an inspiring night at the theatre


homeianm.jpg

After the disappointment that was Don Juan in Soho, the Donmar is back on cracking form with John Gabriel Borkman.

hidden cinematic gem


isn

I got to the Tate Britain 15 minutes prior to the show - that is late in free-museum-event time. By then, a huge crowd had pushed themselves up against the entrance of the room where the raunchy ...
