Restaurant Review – Bōkan
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.

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...
