The festive season is in full swing and Santa has treated us early with the opening of the flagship branch of House of Ho on Percy Street. They have chosen their location well, as they are among a host of incredible restaurants; a network of streets that foodies flood to for a range of diverse cuisines and settings. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Roka, Bobo Social and the Charlotte Street Hotel can surely do no harm. The restaurant itself is contained within a charming building set over two floors, with original Georgian features and decor that is clean, simple, and elegant. The staff ...

What does she put in it? There’s something indescribable about a grandmothers cooking. Something that you can’t quite put your finger on. Is it the vigor she took with the mixing bowl or the mechanic like mastery with the rolling pin? Who knows? Two chaps that do, are the brother duo behind Boopshi’s, Ed and Ben. With a little bit of their family heritage sprinkled in every dish, the pair have derived their menu from the recipe book of their grandmother (Oma). This knowledge is what makes Boopshi’s menu entirely unique. The authentic schnitzels are pan fried and crumbed to perfection wit...

Sentimentally named after a term of endearment that Ed and Ben's (the brothers behind Boopshi's) Grandparents used for each other, the venue will be dishing up authentic Viennese schnitzels twinned with seasonal spritz cocktails. Using traditional recipes pilfered from the diaries of their Austrian Grandma and Grandpa (that's Oma & Opa to the Austrians amongst us), Ed and Ben Robson have created Boopshi's. The head chef and their clos...

Read more →The Piper Gallery, one of Fitzrovia’s most worthwhile art haunts, is exhibiting a new show by artist Neil Stokoe. All Things Must Pass, looks at Neil Stokoe's recent paintings that address acute feelings of pain, despair and loneliness. The work is mostly large scale oil paintings dealing with space and the body, and the mood is often reflective of the colour palette. Stokoe has recently started using black as a predominant colour in his work to invoke ideas of mortality and danger. One of the pieces, Whither From Wither To, is a deeply melancholic monochrome painting detailing a crowd in...
Read more →Pakpoom Silaphan has returned to Fitzrovia with his second exhibition of his highly imaginative, cross-cultural, and vibrant works at the renowned London gallery Scream. His new show, Empire State, seeks to examine notions of globalisation, mass-consumerism and the universal reach of cultural icons across the world. Primarily using found objects in his native city of Bangkok such as old metal advertising signs for big brands, Silaphan’s work not only stands as an homage to Pop Art of the 1960's, it is also a thoughtful study of the connectivity of popular culture between The West and The Eas...
Read more →A new exhibition has opened in Fitzrovia, turning The Piper Gallery into a sculptural landscape reminiscent of an ancient city. The new show is artist PAUL DE MONCHAUX’s first commercial exhibit, and is a retrospective of his work from 1986 to 2013. Fixing Memory, the title of the show, stems from the artist’s desire to ‘leave a trace’ and to create something permanent that will withstand the flux of time. De Monchaux is a much celebrated artist, who considers himself a ‘figurative sculptor’, one who responds to things rather than concepts or ideas. Born in Montreal and educated in both Ne...
