A London Journal

Francis West at Megan Piper

Francis West's thrilling paintings at Megan Piper are well worth the trip.

In anticipation of the RA's colossal Abstract Expressionism down the road I'd recommend getting along to Vigo to see work which seems to have direct inspiration from some of those artists in its energy and its stripped down rawness.

The Roundabout

An excellent revival of a neglected JB Priestley play leads to thoughts of another possible JBP revival.

Review #77 Spring, Somerset House

In the very bowels of Somerset House it's Spring all year round. Possibly the prettiest room in London with food to match.

Review #78 The India Club, Aldwych

Formica tables, functional flatware and a paper napkin slimmer than graphene are the way the IC rolls. You're not in Dishoom now, this is the real thing. Or at least a mid-twentieth century Anglo-Indian reality.
