A short guide to Southwark jury service - how to survive and how to thrive.
Review #52 Indika, Green Lanes
A hipster crushed and some good Indian food on Green Lanes.
Review #51 Eat Tokyo, Covent Garden
Post-court strolling with a friend along the river minutes after the monsoon we bumped into two friends. Happy meeting! They invited us for cocktails and we obliged (at the Oxo Tower, looking a bit shabcious compared to younger rooftop venues) before tootling along to Eat Tokyo on the recommendation of the Japanese member of our…

The other consolation this week has been…
