BEST OF ENEMIES- A REVIEW
Put David Harewood in anything and I will watch, I miss him on Homeland when I rewatch, and I purposely do not watch the episode where he dies. Can’t bear it. He is an exceptional actor and so you will find in the play Best of Enemies that is currently in London until the 18th…

LONDON- PAUL CÉZANNE
There is a reason I continually visit Provence and its simply because I want to be near the mastery of Paul Cézanne. I have never known a more evocative artist, one that plays with light and mood in a way that is both romantic and dramatic but awfully quiet. The current exhibition at the Tate…

LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

SMITH & WOLLENSKY I’d never stepped foot here until recently, it is an old world steak place, the kind of place that deals were done back in the day, white table clothes, gilted bar with all the liquors and a busy, busy atmosphere. It is also the perfect after work spot that requires a bit…

EATS- AKOKO, MAYFAIR
Innovation with a nod to tradition; I do love when chefs take risks with tastes and harness it into something daring and well… innovative. Akoko is such a place. Ten courses or so we had of the tasting menu, plate after plate of beautifully plated and splendidly delicious food. Located in Mayfair; check on that,…

LONDON | TIFFANY, VISION AND VIRTUOSITY
When I was about twenty-one, those Tiffany tag bracelets were all the rage, so I saved all my money earned from working Saturdays in Russell & Bromley to buy myself one; I think I still have it actually. Back then it was a sign of… youth and frivolity, and proper high fashion. All the girls…

LONDON – TWO EXHIBITIONS
A Year in Art Australia 1992 centres around Australia before the place we know today; the land that belonged to the people before their blood was shed and they were cast into the outbacks. This exhibition is as revealing as it is painful to see and witness but one that you must make time for.…
