FILMS IN CONCERT: See your favourite movies at the Royal Albert Hall with a live orchestra playing the scores

tagged in: , , , , ,

If you’re a movie and music buff then I can’t recommend the Royal Albert Hall's Films in Concert series enough. During the season, a selection of classic titles are shown on a giant screen with a live orchestra playing. I went to a matinee performance of Home Alone in the run up to Christmas and was left spellbound by the whole thing. The place was packed out with many audience members wearing Christmas jumpers for the occasion. Taking a pew in the stalls, I sat transfixed as the magic unfolded. I’d got my mum tickets to see BBC's Blue Planet screened in a similar fashion and shed raved a...

EDIBLE CINEMA: A very plie-sing result with the experimental group’s latest ballet-themed dining and film experience

For those who have never heard about Edible Cinema, I encourage you to check it out. The events, which run throughout the year, marry film and food together in a thoroughly unique way. Each movie-goer is supplied with a tray of numbered mystery boxes before they enter the screening room. These little pots contain a bite-sized tasting menu - both solid and liquid - tailored to specific moments in a movie. A man in front the screen then instructs when each box should be cracked open. Polly Betton, the London creative who masterminded the concept, presented her latest showing The Red Shoes t...

THE BLOOMSBURY CLUB: A cosy New York 1920s-style bar, with slick cocktails, delicious nibbles and a sexy atmosphere

tagged in: , , , , , , ,

I hadn’t been to The Bloomsbury Hotel for some years but on a recent visit there I couldn’t believe the transformation. The historic 153-room property underwent a multi-million pound refurbishment last year masterminded by interiors pro Martin Brudnizki, who has worked on iconic London venues such as The Ivy and Scott’s. The place now oozes sex appeal, with luxuriously warm interiors enveloping you from the bustling concrete world outside. A few of my friends had mentioned the Coral Room, which is an impressive bar located on the ground floor but I ventured to the hotel on a Monday night to...

MRS FOGG’S: Cruise along to this buzzing City spot, with exotic cocktails and Asian-inspired bites

tagged in: , , , , , , , ,

Sailing away from the standard City bar format is Mrs Fogg’s in Broadgate Circle. The Mr Fogg’s chain of bars is one of my favourite in town, given its exploration theme, and the latest site, Mrs Fogg’s, sticks to the standards. The place was inspired by Aouda, the explorer Phileas Fogg’s Indian wife, in Jules Verne’s classic adventure novel, Around The World in 80 Days. Everything has been designed with her nautical travels in mind, with bar-goers invited to board the Rangoon steamer. The full name of the bar is Mrs Fogg's Maritime Club and Distillery. I ventured to the bar on a Tuesday n...
