Flicking through photographs of London’s skyline just before the turn of the millennium, it’s now impossible to overlook the colossal number of skyscrapers that have popped-up over the past seventeen years. A clear sign that London is a city dead-set on keeping up appearances with the likes of New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai. These buildings are structures of power, of wealth, of luxury – so it’s hardly surprising that so many high-end, high-rise restaurants have opened across the capital....

Wyndham Hacket Pain @WyndhamHP Their Finest is set at the height of the Second World War and away from the front line. The British government turns to propaganda films as a way of boosting moral and convincing the America to join the war. They realise that the female parts are underwritten and hire Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) to work as a scriptwriter on an upcoming Dunkirk picture and give it a “woman’s touch”. As bombs land on London Catrin and...

Once upon a time I was a ten year old boy, one who had already developed a two-way communication with the bulky and sculpted wood furniture in the corner of the living room that contained the tubes and wires, cords and dials of the television innards. Yes, I actually did hide behind the blue velvet couch when William Hartnell's Doctor Who first confronted a Dalek; I also hid on the staircase when the theme music of Dick Tracy started as...

Bookmakers today shed light on an election devoid of opposition, pricing the Tories 1/7 to win an overall majority in June.

This weekend I sat aghast as Turkey voted to take a step back from democracy and grant President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sweeping new powers that give him wide control over the judiciary, broad powers to make law by decree, abolish the office of the Prime Minister and, effectively, make him a dictator. Today, as Theresa May announces a typically opportunist snap election which will move Britain to the right, impose a hard Brexit on the country and force more cuts I'm...

A Simpsons superfan is trying to set a new world record after getting Homer tattooed on his arm - 52 TIMES. Restaurant manager Ricky Viner, 32, fell in love with the cartoon series as a child and said he saw Homer as a "father figure". Ricky, 32, of Warminster, Wilts, said: “I was adopted as a kid so in a funny way Homer became the father figure I always wanted.” "I instantly fell in love with the programme when I...

Remarkable images which show the hell that commuters in London go through every morning to get to work - crushed together like 'sardines.' Every morning more than a million people use the London Underground network, with the peak times being 7am and 9am. The London Economic has to deal with this every day, and as we approach summer it only gets worse. This is the price you pay for living in the capital. Sky high property prices, pint of lager...

Theresa May has called a snap General Election. In a Downing Street announcement just now, May says it is with reluctance that she called an election. May claimed that although the 'The country is coming together, but Westminster is not.' She challenges the opposition parties to accept an early election, then let the people decide. Political commentators say that Theresa May is very much going for a ‘vote Conservative for my vision of Brexit’. Here is the statement (this is not...
