By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Just a short walk around the corner from Goodge Street Underground Station, through the gaggle of workers spending the lunch rush congregated outside Tesco Express, turn the corner once more onto Whitfield Street and you’ll find Dabbous, one of Central London’s most celebrated restaurants. Well, after three strolls along the length of the street I eventually came across a heavy metal door, giving the ambience of one of London’s many derelict buildings, yet upon...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Frank's Bar on top of the NCP car park, in Peckham is known throughout the UK and beyond, but what most people don't know, is there's another rooftop bar, with an even better view circa two mins away. The Bussey Rooftop Bar is now open for summer 2015 with panoramic views, fantastic cocktails, delicious pizza (provided by indie pizzeria, Pizza Pilgrims) and a huge rooftop cinema across the hallway. It is worth the slog up the flights...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Strength: 4.5% ABV Brewed: Greenwich, London Founded at the turn of the millennium in a small flat in Greenwich by Brew Master Alastair Hook and some like minded friends, Meantime has since become one of the leading breweries in the British Craft Beer revolution. Having set up their state-of-the-art brewery in 2010, just a stones throw from the Prime Meridian, as well as recently opening The Tasting Rooms, a venue that offers the chance...

Featuring a menu that’s built around Oysters, comfort food and raw dishes, The Richmond also boasts...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Home to the Prime Meridian, a bustling market that’s been trading since the 14th Century, Christopher Wren’s Architectural masterpieces Royal Observatory and the Royal Naval College, as well as The O2 Arena: Greenwich is a global tourist hotspot, yet there’s still a criminal lack of good quality restaurants. The Market itself contains a wondrous selection of street food stalls, but if you’re local and plan on eating out anytime during the week or after about...

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor  London is one of only a few truly global markets for wine. Négociants from Old World territories have been sailing wine by the case for several centuries and New World varieties have found fertile ground amongst the city’s liberal taste and worldly cuisines. Which is why it is no surprise that the city is home to an array of brilliant and varied wine bars. From new-age bars in Chelsea to dated, traditional vaults in Greenwich,...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor If I’m honest I have never seen an episode of Sex and City, but the idea of the glamour and glitz of dining and drinking in Manhattan does appeal, but I guess it does for almost everyone.
