By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Just around the corner from Whitechapel Road, the East Dispensary Hospital was erected in 1782, founded by a selection of doctors with help from the Duke of Wellington. Originally set up as an attempt to provide medical treatment to the poor citizens of the area back in the late 18th century, the venue now acts as a pub/dining room that boasts an interesting mix of hearty pub food and elegant A La Carte treats....

By David de Winter, Sports Editor, @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport I have an intense dislike of the Westfield Shopping Centres in London.  In fact, make that any shopping centre in the world. With their fancy stores placed side by side, imploring the general public to buy, buy, buy, they embody everything that is wrong with the modern world. It is mass consumerism at its most acute. Ah but of course, I almost forgot; the more things I buy the happier I am. Everyone...

Whether you're a fan of heavy music,  music photography, or both, chances are your gaze has fallen on the work of Paul Harries. With his exhibition, 'Slipknot: Dysfunctional Family Portraits' going strong at the Strand Gallery and the photo collection of the same name seeing a release earlier this week, now is a busy time for the Kerrang! regular. Paul kindly took the time out of his hectic schedule to chat to TLE. We talk photography, life in the 'knot inner circle...

Despite London being a rich, diverse tapestry of people, classes and cultures, it’s sadly a well-known fact that the city’s creative industry – as is the case across the UK – is not a reflection of this. Access to accommodation (not to mention food transport and, apparently, a well-heeled social life) while hopefully clinging to endless unpaid internships is something the bank of Mum and Dad often funds, and it’s not one many of us have an account with. There’s...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent A restaurant owner has created Britain's tallest burger which towers higher than his own daughter. The whopping two-and-a-half-foot '999 burger' trumps the previous UK record by several inches and contains enough calories to feed one person everyday for two weeks. Created by Chef Craig Harker of The George in Stockton, Teeside, the culinary masterpiece is bigger than his one-year-old daughter who stands at 2ft. The leaning tower of meat is made of three seeded buns, ten gourmet burgers and one slice of...

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor  If you have 15 minutes to spare, France is a real treat for a spot of lunch. A quick hop over the channel in a Luxury turboprop King Air B200 and you can grab a bite to eat in the playground of rich Parisians. The golden beaches, stunning architecture and gastronomic eateries offer ample excuse to take the short leap onto the continent. And thanks to a new hospitality package from Lyddair, fine wine, delectable restaurants and local markets are...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Twenty-five years ago, Marco Pierre White began to make a name for himself as one of the UK’s most exciting chefs with the release of his classic White Heat cookbook, and now after reigning as on of Britain's most celebrated Celebrity Chefs for quarter of a century, the chef has lent his name to a brand new restaurant. Having sold the original St. James site of Wheeler’s last year, the brand has returned to London with...

Sport News 24/7 By Richard de Winter  @rgdewinter  @TLE_Sport Well, at least it was quick.  Rather than clinging on for dear life with an unexpected victory, or even doing what Rangers have specialised in over the last couple of months and losing to a late goal after a spirited yet ultimately futile effort, the Rs saw any lingering hope of avoiding relegation brutally extinguished after an utterly supine performance, reminding everyone in the process that they are the worst team...

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor  There is a certain intimacy in the back of a taxi that you seldom experience elsewhere. The compulsory chit chat - "you been busy", "what time you on 'til?" et al – and the immediate trustworthiness of a cabbie brings solace amid the hectic buzz of the urban evening. But it is an intimacy formed on the terms of the passenger and not the driver. Fee payer punters are at liberty to talk how they...
