By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food With more than 4000 shades of achromatic grey allegedly available, the décor of the King’s Cross branch of Pullmans’ Golden Arrow Restaurant and Bar manages to showcase at least 30 of those variations, set towards the back of the hotel lobby, peering out onto the rigmarole of the constantly busy Euston Road. “Sleek” is the first word that springs to mind. It’s the sort of place that once the sun has set and the...
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @TLE_Sport @davidjdewinter It’s the business end of Wimbledon and the men’s semi-finals has thrown together some intriguing match-ups. Andy Murray will take on all-time great Roger Federer whilst sinewy Serb Novak Djokovic will be up against enigmatic Frenchman Richard Gasquet. Two completely contrasting styles of play will be on display tomorrow – classic grass-court tennis against the modern baseline counter-puncher and it will be fascinating to see who prevails. Federer...

By Ben Ramanauskas Greece has found itself in a modern day tragedy of Homeric proportions. However, this is a tragedy which is both very real and which has no heroes. There is no Achilles or Odysseus ready to save the day, only villains and victims. Whether it's previous Greek Governments who borrowed and spent far too recklessly, or the cunning investment bankers who helped them to hide their debt, or the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the German...
New name, same aim. Nottingham noiseniks Baby Godzilla have incurred the wrath of a Japanese cinema company thanks to their monster-inspired moniker. The band recently issued a statement to their fans, introducing them to HECK, the name they will perform under from now on. If you've ever caught these guys live I'm sure you'll agree that HECK is an apt title indeed. Read the full statement below. "Friends, This may seem abrupt but following some fairly conclusive and forceful instructions...
By Ben Gelblum, TLE Correspondent @BenGelblum What an excellent budget. As long as you are long-term employed, in a well paying job, under the age of 25, live in the South East and aren't ill or disabled then your chum George Osborne, king of the middle class elite, has delivered an absolute corker. Of course, that leaves a lot of people unaccounted for. The living wage (that isn't the living wage) is one of very few concessions offered to the...
Today Pewdiepie released a video discussing recent discussions surrounding the discussion of whether or not discussing the amount of money he earns is disgusting or worth discussing. Got it? I don't care. Apparently someone figured out he earned a massive £4.8 million last year in his role as the biggest entity on Youtube. So what is the source of the vitriol against him? There are a couple of things at play, some of it simple and some of it under-the-hood...
You can buy pretty much anything in London if you’ve got the money, but where’s the fun in that? A series of workshops in South East London aims to put a spotlight on craft, and on where objects come from, by encouraging people to get together and create things for themselves (with the help of the experts of course). LOIS founder, Helen Ward, says: “I know not everything we buy can be straight from source – I get my wardrobe basics...
By Ben New Marjane Satrapi, writer/director of the multi award winning semi-autobiographical animation Persepolis (2007), has a stab at creating this offbeat quirky comedy scripted by the versatile (and one time Eerie Indiana episode) writer Michael R. Perry. Jerry, played by Ryan Reynolds, is a factory worker who lives alone above a bowling ally. That is except for his pet cat Mr. Whiskers and his dog Bosco who, also voiced by Reynolds, insist on giving him polarising advice and commentary...
