Continuing on as normal yesterday felt bizarre. I was at work near St Paul's when one of my colleagues first floated that some alleged…something, some horrible thing, might be happening outside the Houses of Parliament. It was 2:50pm. We spent the rest of the day in a contemplative blur; heads down, keeping up with the news, quietly sharing new information as the afternoon's events unfolded. I left work and went to the theatre with my friend. We talked about the...

Heavily-themed around the adventures of Phileas J. Fogg - the protagonist of Jules Verne’s ‘Around The World in 80 Days’ - Mr Fogg’s Residence in Mayfair is just one of the Inception Group’s venues based around the character. Mr Fogg’s Tavern near Covent Garden is essentially a pub with a strong focus on British food, while the upstairs gin parlour boasts one of London’s strongest collections of Mother’s Ruin. Mr Fogg’s Residence, on the other hand, is based around Fogg’s...

We live in an age of contradictions – we know that the only constant thing in life is change; yet, the more things change, the more they remain the same. The Cold War triggered some economic problems in the global economic landscape and four decades later, economists can still point to the effects of the cold war. Interestingly, we are already seeing the semblances of the geopolitical tensions that led to the first cold war in the current socio-political trends....

This is the heartwarming moment a toddler who lost all her limbs to meningitis takes her first steps with a new walker. Brave Harmonie-Rose Allen, three, was struck down with a deadly strain of meningococcal septicaemia at just ten months old. She was rushed to hospital where doctors told parents Freya Hall, 22, and Ross Allen, 24, that she had a ten per cent chance of survival. Miraculously, brave Harmonie-Rose defied the odds and beat the killer bug - but...

A fascinating book written by a real-life 'Mary Poppins' when she opened the world famous Norland College in Bath has been found - after 125 YEARS. The notebook was penned by Emily Ward in 1892 as a 'spoonful of advise' to the new starters at Norland College. Norland went on to become an elite training school for nannies hired by the wealthy, royalty and oligarchs. She created the school for nursery nurses in distinctive uniforms to be employed by wealthy families...

These are the horrific scenes that greeted horrified landlady Wendy Gilbert after vandals totally trashed EVERY room of her house. The banister had been ripped from the staircase and dumped in the middle of the living room. Broken glass was strewn across the floot, doors had been kicked off their hinges, the bathroom sink had been smashed to bits , while toys and rubbish littered the house. And ketchup had been squirted on the walls, even smearing a "Keep Calm...

Just 15cm of snow has caused traffic chaos across the North of Britain - which has seen a HGV sliding SIDEWAYS down the road. A blue VW Touran was snapped being forced to drive around a HGV vehicle which had slid across the snowy rural road at a 90 degree angle and blocked the road. Another motorist was forced to dig out the road himself with a bright red shovel so he could drive through the perilous terrain near Hawes...

By James McAllister Those who are familiar with Kleber Mendonça Filho’s 2013 debut feature, Neighbouring Sounds, will no doubt recognise the impassioned socio-political discourse that emanates from the narrative ornamentations of his intriguing but inconsistent sophomore effort. Returning to his hometown of Recife in northeast Brazil, Aquarius sees the critic-turned-director once more take aim at the capitalist sharks who wish to gentrify areas of historic beauty (both in Brazil and across the globe) for their own financial gain, as a...

Yesterday a man went on a murderous rampage through the streets of London in a car, killing three people and injuring many others, some remain in critical condition, and the death toll could rise. A police officer, PC Palmer, was stabbed to death, and another woman jumped into the Thames to avoid the vehicle. John Bercow, the Speaker, even closed Parliament, and kept MPs' inside the building for hours until the terror threat subsided. Mrs May paid tribute to PC...
