Restaurant Review: Hām, West Hampstead

Hām is not another single-menu restaurant, although you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Instead, ‘Hām’ is the Old English word for ‘home’, a prominent focus at this new West Hampstead neighbourhood restaurant, far more so than cured pork leg.

I arrive ten minutes early and find deep comfort in an insouciant attentiveness...

But their disappointment soon turned to disgust soon after they moved in, because the entire area began smelling like waste - and they learned...

The London City Gentleman: On London buses

For most of my life, I have hated buses. I don’t know why this should be so, nor can I say they really featured heavily in my existence. I was noting with some shame to an old school friend last weekend that we used to catch the bus into town when really it was no more than a 20-minute walk.
