London Is Our Town
a curated list of reviews, restaurants, bars and attractions in London that matter to us.
Nutshell Restaurant Soft Launch Review
When the bread arrives and makes you swoon, you know that something good is happening. But when you rip a chunk off and it tears away with a satisfying fluffy yield, like a salty golden crusted cloud, and you dunk it into a Tapenade that exists solely to please you...
The Barge House Haggerston
Nestled along the banks of the quaintest little canal in De Beauvoir Town (West Haggerston), the Barge House is a real gem. I went along for brunch to try their now famous weekend brunch menu and found a quiet little spot that blew away my expectations with a...

I was little late to the Jinjuu hype train as I was living in Florence when it all kicked off, but when I begrudgingly came back to London it seemed like one of those London only kind of places that I'd struggled to find around Europe, but wanted to try. Not...
Hakata Ramen+Bar Bermondsey street
Bermondsey Street is beginning to take shape as a proper food centre in South East London. Almost every other door leads into a restaurant, a pub or a bar. There are now two basement bars withint moments of each other and a collection of restaurants that span...

As far as soft launches go, Flesh and Buns was a pretty good one. I was intrigued from the off by the addition of a Nikkei focused menu that expands on the Izakaya menu from Covent Garden, and of course the new venture into Pisco Sours, made all the more intriguing...
Hutong At The Shard
We speed up in the elevator at such a rate that I don't notice the first 32 floors that we pass by on the way to the 33rd. It's smooth and the interiors of the lift are sleek and pine scented. As the doors open, we're greeted by a huge map of the city and just a...
Ibérica la Terraza Canary Wharf Review
I'm generally not a believer in Spanish food since an unfortunate experience with a less than OK paella as a young boy - but I quite like Ibérica's terrace smack in the middle of Canary Wharf, surrounding by skyscrapers. Recently, Canary Wharf has up'd its...
