(Things we're doing and stuff we like)
Located off Oxford Street below a NCP car park you will find the newly opened burger joint, Meat Liquor. Welcomed by low lighting, loud music and bustling tables, this restaurant has a great atmosphere with a hearty menu of burgers, sides and classic deserts. With names such as ‘dirty chicken’ and ‘philly cheese steak’, each tasty burger is served on a paper lined tray and is perfectly formed to fit in your hands – a kitchen roll is at hand on the table to mop up messy fingers and mouths! Serving up without a doubt the best burgers in Britain, this restaurant is one to visit!
If you go to Bermondsey on Saturdays between 9am-2pm, you will discover the Maltby Street Market. The Kernel Brewery in Druid Street near Maltby is down to earth with tables outside. Also seek out Mons Fromager, St John Bakery, La Grotta Ices and The London Honey Company.
Marcus has done a brilliant job with this Pop-Up Dezeen Temporium shop in Covent Garden. Located at 65 Monmouth Street, it is his most ambitious shop to date and at weekends is heaving. We love the watches, WOOP posters, toys for children, oyster card holders and luminous diamond lights. Go before it closes on the 24th if you are in London.
Last night I went to Gallery Libby Sellers to the opening of ’Fortune’by Berlin based designer Mark Braun in conjunction with Austrian glass company J. & L. Lobmeyr. Originally part of Vienna Design Week, each water carafe, handcrafted by Lobmeyr, is engraved with one of seven glaciers, seven lakes or seven rivers from across the globe.
She never knew a day she wasn’t famous. This week, Christie’s New York is auctioning some of the most beloved possessions from Hollywood legend, Elizabeth Taylor. An exhibition that previewed the auction is a snapshot of her glamorous life. From the recreation of her ‘jewellery room’ to costumes from her most notable films and all three of her Oscars. There is a whole room dedicated to her couture fashions, a display of gifts from Michael Jackson and even the 33.19 carat diamond given to her by Richard Burton on her 40th birthday. A portion of sales will go to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
