Restaurant review: Electric Social, Brixton
October 21st 2011
Electric Social, newly opened on Acre Lane, Brixton, is pretty darn cool. The interior is potent mix of pub, club and country hunting lodge - pop art and funky light fittings gelled with wood paneling and mounted deer heads...

Restaurant review: The Crooked Well, Camberwell
July 25th 2011
In recent years it’s been The Dark Horse and Le Petit Parisien; now it’s The Crooked Well. I’m not sure why nothing sticks at this Camberwell venue, but I do hope its current guise is here to stay...

Restaurant review: Locale, East Dulwich
May 31st 2011
My other half loves a steak, and will order one practically every time we eat out. So, since Monday evening at Locale is steak night, with a jolly 50% off prime juicy cuts, I had a pretty good idea what he’d be ordering on our visit...

Restaurant review: My Big Fat Greek, Elephant & Castle
March 31st 2011
Things are changing at the Elephant. After years of promises, the makeover is finally underway. The Heygate is due for demolition (any day now, really), and the area outside the tube station is already shaping up rapidly as a new public square...
Restaurant review: The Real Greek, South Bank
March 29th 2011
When I mentioned to my Cypriot colleague that I was eating at The Real Greek, she wrinkled her nose in disapproval. But Londoners seem to like it...
Restaurant Review: Pasha Hotel Restaurant, Camberwell
March 2nd 2011
Hotel Pasha on Camberwell Road continues to surprise. Though its neighbours – a scattering of shabby newsagents and fast-food outlets – leave a fair bit to be desired, Pasha is very handsome. A diamond in the rough.

Friday night and the Living South girls are out to let their hair down... The venue: The Old Nun’s Head, the latest pub to go gastro in our parts...
Restaurant review: Nar Bar & Restaurant
December 3rd 2010
Vauxhall is a transitory place. I only really find myself there waiting for a bus, or taking my chances cycling around that dreaded roundabout. But there really are a lot of reasons to hang around...

November 3rd 2010
Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, my friend and I headed to Living Water Satisfies on Westow Street to garner strength for the working day ahead.
Restaurant Review: Fujiyama, Brixton
November 3rd 2010
Hungry and cold in SW9? Duck into Fujiyama. Bustling, vibrant and convivial, it’s the kind of place you can bowl into unannounced, grab a spot on a bench and have a steaming bowl of noodles in front of you as quick as you like.
