The extremely talented and funny Saoirse-Monica Jackson knows what it’s like to get up on stage and charm the theatre fans of London. After all, she knocked it out the park in the West End transfer of Jez Butterworth’s ‘The Ferryman’ back in 2017. However, the ‘Derry Girls’ star was nevertheless utterly blown away when she saw one particular production a few years ago.

‘Jodie Comer doing “Prima Facie” at the Harold Pinter Theatre,’ she says in the latest episode of Time Out’s ‘Love Thy Neighbourhood’ podcast. ‘It was the best live performance I’ve ever seen. And it was the most moved I’ve ever seen an audience as well. It was such a feeling of connection in the room and for a one-woman show she just held it together the whole way through.’

The ‘Killing Eve’ actor starred in the one-woman play back in 2022. On top of a Laurence Olivier Award for her performance Comer eventually also picked up a Tony Award for the role, once the play transferred to Broadway.

‘I had to just walk around Soho and the West End after I came out the theatre, just doing laps,’ says Saoirse. ‘I was so taken aback by what I'd just seen. She’s an absolute powerhouse and it was such a beautiful script.’

If you want to hear Saoirse-Monica Jackson chat about Scouse House pubs, cream cakes and her favourite (and least-favourite) chips in London have a listen to this week’s ‘Love Thy Neighbourhood’ podcast.

Club rats and music heads, we’ve got exciting news for you. Legendary London club The Cause is making its first foray into public houses and opening a boozer. We’re sure it will be as trendy as it gets. Every guy with an ironic haircut and a little earring in the capital will be there.

The Greyhound will open in Peckham in March. The Cause first teased punters about its new boozer in October 2023, but now there is finally more information.

In a post shared on Instagram, The Cause revealed that renovations for the SE15 pub were well underway and it plans to open in spring.

‘As you know, six months ago, we took the keys to a dormant boozer in Peckham, with the intention of opening late last year. We must apologise that we’ve kept you all in the dark with our progress, but we have also been kept in the dark ourselves – literally,’ it said.

‘Some issues with previous tenants and delays in exchanging services meant we were left without power for a couple of months and progress was halted on our new South London haunt.

‘But we’re now back up and running with the re-fit well underway, and can now say with a lot of confidence (touch wood, and trust us there is plenty of wood to touch over here) that we will be opening our doors to the public this March.’

In even better news, The Greyhound is offering free drinks for its opening weekend to anyone who signs up online here. Cheers to that!

If you can’t wait for The Greyhound to open, we’d recommend checking out equally-trendy pubs The Gun, The Marquis N16 or All My Friends in the meantime. And here’s Time Out’s list of the best pubs in London for good measure.

13/02/2024

For infrastructure geeks, London’s brand-spanking-new ‘super sewer’ has been the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is the 25km, £4.5 billion Thames Tideway tunnel (as it’s official known) set to transform how the capital manages its sewage: it’s also led to cool stuff like a new Thameside embankment in Putney and an underground ‘botanical’ garden.

The ‘super sewer’ began construction in 2016 but soon, excitingly, it’ll start being put to use. With the project nearly 90 percent finished and its tunnels sealed up, it will begin testing this summer. Yep, this summer!

The Thames Tideway project will connect dozens of storm overflow drains beneath the river. Rather than become a like-for-like replacement for London’s current sewage system, the ‘super sewer’ is intended to keep sewage from spilling out into the Thames during storms.

‘Super sewer’ engineer Adrian Telford told the BBC that London’s sewage ‘was basically flowing into the river, and now we have diverted it and it goes into our new super sewer which is running underneath the Thames.

‘It will clean up the river, it will increase the health of the river.’

So, a cleaner Thames for all is now within reach! The ‘super sewer’ is officially set to open in 2025.

Time Out and future London

London is set for a bunch of interesting projects in the coming months and years – and we’ve covered plenty of those projects on Time Out. Did you see that Printworks could reopen as a massive ‘cultural venue’? And that this Northern Line tube station is getting a huge revamp? And that the City of London will have 11 new skyscrapers by 2030?

Did you see that this London tube line has the most harmful dust?

Printworks is set to reopen in 2026, but it’s unlikely to be the clubbers’ paradise that it once was. Partygoers bid a tearful farewell to the superclub in May 2023 at a knees-up headlined by Peggy Gou and Bicep. But after public outrage at the closure of the beloved club, Printworks teased punters that it could reopen as a nightlife venue in the future.

We can now confirm that a planning application has been submitted to turn the building into a mixture of offices and a ‘permanent cultural venue’. Broadwick Live, the team behind Printworks and Drumsheds, will partner with property developers British Land and super fund AustralianSuper to turn the building into a hybrid office block and events space.

Printworks’ famous press halls will be preserved, but they won’t be the raving epicentre they once were. Concerts, immersive art exhibitions and corporate events will be hosted in the iconic corridor, but the main dance floor will be flanked by office spaces.

The second room, Inkwells, will also remain and be reserved for more gigs, art exhibitions and smaller corporate events. Printworks 2.0 will have an events space on its roof with views of London too. The roof will be used for rehearsals, performances, curated talks and product launches.

Simeon Aldred, co-owner and director of strategy at Broadwick Live, said: ‘Broadwick Group is delighted to continue our exclusive partnership with British Land and AustralianSuper for the highly anticipated next phase of Printworks London. The preservation and repurposing of the cherished Press Halls, coupled with the profound cultural implications of this undertaking, represent our joint commitment to the advancement of culture in the capital.’

Emma Cariaga, joint head of Canada Water at British Land, said: ‘We want to deliver a permanent world-class cultural venue at Printworks that builds on its globally acclaimed legacy. Combining the best of the capital’s culture with next generation workspace at The Grand Press will create an unrivalled experiential destination, which generations will benefit from for years to come.’

12/02/2024

London is full of history. From blue plaques to incredible architecture, there are relics of times past dotted all over our city. By granting buildings and other artefacts protected status, Historic England helps to keep the Dickensian dream alive.

Four twentieth-century gas lamps on Russell Street in Covent Garden have just been given listed status. The streetlights were built in 1910 to mark the beginning of George V’s reign, and will now be protected for generations to come.

There are currently around 1,300 working gas lamps in London, with 270 in Westminster. Of these 270, about half are currently listed, but more could be given protection soon. The lamps on Russell Street have been listed at Grade II as part of a pilot project by Historic England to help inform ongoing discussions about the management of gas lamps in Westminster and beyond.

‘Gas lamps are an evocative part of our heritage, transporting you to the streetscape of another era. The more you look at them the more details you discover,’ said Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England.

‘These newly listed lamps enrich the character of this historic part of Covent Garden, and form part of a wider collection across Westminster. The 1910 columns and their 1930s “Upright Rochester” style lanterns – designed to reduce shadow and improve distribution of light – help illustrate how streetlighting technology has evolved over time, in an area of particular importance to the development of gas-powered streetlighting.’

Interested in finding out more about London’s sprawling history? Time Out has plenty more where that came from. These are the best historic pubs in London, these ten buildings in the capital are officially ‘at-risk’ (according to Historic England) and these are London’s best walking tours.

This London postcode has been named one of the UK’s coolest neighbourhoods.

12/02/2024

Rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t get much bigger than AC/DC. Over almost five decades, the legendary hard rockers have truly earned GOAT status – and now, after weeks of teasing, the band has finally confirmed that they’re hitting the road in 2024. They’ll be playing in London for the first time in eight long years.

The band announced their UK and Europe tour on social media this morning (February 12). Called the ‘POWER UP’ tour, it’s named after AC/DC’s 2020 studio album. Fans will get to head-bang to a line-up of classics and newer stuff with Brian Johnson on vocals, brothers Angus and Stevie Young on guitar, Matt Laug on drums and Chris Chaney carrying the torch for bassist Cliff Williams, who retired from performing in 2016. Here’s everything you need to know to get yourself in those mosh pits at Wembley.

When is AC/DC going on their UK and Europe tour in 2024?

The band will play a total of 21 dates across European cities, starting with Gelsenkirchen in Germany on May 17 and wrapping up in Dublin’s Croke Park on August 17.

When is AC/DC playing in London?

They’ll take to the Wembley Stadium stage on July 3 and July 7 2024.

When do tickets go on sale for their POWER UP tour?

Tickets go live on Friday, February 16 at 10am. You can get your hands on them here.

How much will tickets cost?

Gigs and Tours has revealed that tickets will be £115 for main pitch standing, £130 for front pitch standing and in the region of £55 to £145 for seated (depending on which seats you pick). Don’t forget there will also be a booking fee added to the final cost.

Any news on presale?

There currently aren’t plans for any kind of presale, so as far as we know everyone will be in with the same chance of securing tickets. If anything changes and you want to be the first to know about it, make sure you’re signed up to the band’s newsletter here.

What’s been said about the tour so far?

That’s pretty much all the details we have on the tour so far. The band did post a short little video on X/Twitter as part of their announcement. So conclude from that what you will.

We are thrilled to finally announce the ‘POWER UP’ European Tour. Angus, Brian, Stevie, and Matt will be joined by Chris Chaney to carry the torch for Cliff. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/VTVMKdweNX

At any given time, London plays host to a humongous number of visitors from all over the world – so, naturally, it makes sense that the city also boasts plenty of exceptional places for them to stay. From five-star beasts to exquisite boutiques, the capital has hotels of all kinds – there’s a reason Time Out’s definitive ranking of London’s best hotels stretches to a massive 95.

And now one of those hotels has been named among the best in the entire world. In a recent ranking of the planet’s 22 finest hotels, National Geographic included a London establishment alongside villas on Caribbean islands and resorts in the Himalayas.

Raffles London at The OWO was one of the esteemed 22. In the historic building of Winston Churchill’s Old War Office, the hotel opened in 2023 as the latest outpost of global luxury hotel chain Raffles, which began in Singapore but now operates 18 hotels around the world.

Raffles was only one of three European hotels in the list, alongside boutique Berlin hotel Wilmina and Albanian mountain town hotel Albergo Diffuso Kruja.

NatGeo described Raffles London: ‘The circa-1906 Old War Office (OWO) has been transformed into a luxury hotel with oak and walnut panelling, mosaic floors, and a castle-worthy central marble staircase.

‘Stay in clubby guest rooms carved out of the grand building where Winston Churchill hammered out problems during the First and Second World Wars.’

Sounds nice, eh? Unsurprisingly, rooms at Raffles London don’t come cheap. You can expect to pay the best part of a grand for even the lower-priced options here. There’s a reason it was also included in a list of the ‘world’s best’ hotels by deluxe travel brand Luxury Travel Intelligence (LTI).

You can find out more about National Geographic’s full list of the best hotels in the world here.

If you’re after a hotel in London, you’re in the right place. Here at Time Out we’ve got a hotel list for every occasion, from the city’s finest budget hotels to the glitziest five-star ones. As well as, of course, our general list of the best hotels in London.

How do you define cool? To many people it’s subjective, apart from the things that will always be undisputably cool, such as being in a band, or smoking*. Despite its subjectivity, one London neighbourhood has been crowned as definitely cool, according to the Sunday Times.

Newington Green, an northeast London enclave filled with aesthetically pleasing bakeries, award-winning restaurants and that controversial statue of Mary Wollstonecraft, has been named the second coolest neighbourhood in the entire UK.

In the article, the Sunday Times lauded Newington Green for its selection of restos beloved by celebs like Harry Styles (Perilla), top tier date night spots (Cadet) and viral bakeries (Jolene, we’re looking at you). There was also an honourable shout out to System, a listening bar inside the hipster butchers Stella’s. Sadly, System hosted its last knees-up at the end of January this year, but Stella’s the butchers lives on.

We’ll take the Sunday Times list with a pinch of salt. Also in their rankings of the top ten coolest neighbourhoods in the UK was er… Clapham, the most decidedly uncool area of London.

As a counter, we’d also like to offer Time Out’s list of the Coolest Neighbourhoods in the World for your consideration. We named King’s Cross the coolest area in London in 2024, so make of these lists what you will.

You can check out the Sunday Times’ list in full (behind a paywall) here.

*Obviously, we don’t think smoking is cool.

Yoko Ono has been many things over her long career: artist, musician, muse and – inarguably – icon. But that last bit, and the fame that has come with it, has obscured the fact that her art is some of the leading experimental, performance and sound-focused work of the twentieth century. She’s worked in performance, film and drawing, she was part of Fluxus, she’s made music and she’s fought for peace. She is, in other words, totally legit and totally overlooked. Her work is always radical, always earnest, and often quite silly, combining poetry, whimsy, humour and razor-sharp intelligence.

Now, the Tate is righting the wrong of Ono’s overlooked art career with a big show of her work from the 1950s to now, and it’s opening next week.

The show will include instruction pieces, scores, films and photography from throughout her career, as well as interactive installations which properly engage the audience. Much of Ono’s work after her earlier performance experiments has centred on vociferous calls for peace, and this show will include ‘Wish Trees For London’, an audience participation work where visitors can contribute wishes for world peace. Don’t you even think about wishing for anything not peaceful, or she’ll hunt you down and kick your head in herself.

Yoko Ono is at Tate Modern, Feb 15-Sep 1 2024. More details here.

09/02/2024

If you live in Waltham Forest, you might want to think twice about ordering a Deliveroo tonight. The east London borough has been revealed as having the most takeaways with a ‘zero’ rating for hygiene. Pretty grim stuff.

Across London a whopping 156 fast food outlets have been tarnished with a ‘zero’ hygiene rating. But unfortunately for Waltham Forest residents, a huge portion of them are concentrated there. Out of 877 takeaways in the borough, 47 of them have a zero rating, which is a whopping 15.6 percent of eateries. A further 71 restaurants only had a rating of one and 17 a score of two, MyLondon reported.

The boroughs of Ealing, Newham and Enfield weren’t much better when it came to food hygiene either. In Ealing 15.2 percent of venues had a score of two or below.

According to the Food Standards Agency, a hygiene rating of zero means urgent improvement is necessary and one means major improvement is required. The rating takes into account the handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of the facilities and how food safety is managed. It’s safe to say that with a rating of zero, customers who eat at such restaurants could be heading towards a night on the toilet.

Thankfully, London has plenty of options when it comes to finding banging (and hygienic) food. Here’s our list of the best restaurants in the city and here are London’s finest cheap eats. Or seeing as Lunar New Year is coming up, why not check out the best Chinese restaurants?

09/02/2024

At best, potholed roads make for a bumpy ride; at worst, they can cause both serious damage to your vehicle and even personal injury. And London, like the rest of the UK, is full of potholes – but did you know that one of the capital’s boroughs has more potholes than anywhere else in the country?

Well, it’s true. According to data experts over at Smart Survey, a London borough leads the way when it comes to the total number of potholes. Smart Survey got its data from FixMyStreet.com, where locals can report stuff like potholes, graffiti, fly tipping and so on.

As of last week (January 29, to be exact), the north London borough of Barnet apparently had a whopping 4,656 holes in its roads. It also has a ‘fix rate’ of just 32.6 percent, meaning the majority of those potholes don’t get fixed.

So, why’s Barnet so bad for potholes? Well, there are likely a few reasons. Not only is it a massive borough (with, logically, lots of roads), but it also has pretty high levels of car ownership and a few massive, high-traffic roads like the M1, North Circular and the Finchley Road.

Barnet Council obviously isn’t too happy about Smart Survey’s study. Councillor Alan Schneiderman said: ‘We are proposing to invest over £100million over five years to repair roads and tackle potholes.

‘The data cited is also misrepresentative of the facts. The most urgent potholes are fixed within 24 hours and all others between seven and 28 days.

‘Barnet is disproportionately affected by potholes with one of the largest road networks in London. Barnet also has amongst the highest volume of vehicle movements a day in London of which 1000 are HGVs.’

Barnet isn’t the only London borough to get called out on its potholes. Last year it was Islington’s turn to be named the UK’s ‘pothole capital’ – you can read all about that on Time Out here.

09/02/2024

From the curry houses on Brick Lane to the top tier veggie spots on Drummond Street, Indian food in London is unparalleled. Now, one restaurant in the Big Smoke can officially call itself the best Indian in town. Gymkhana, the swanky Mayfair eatery inspired by colonial gentlemen’s clubs in India, has been awarded not one but two Michelin stars.

Having held one star for the past decade, the posh resto was awarded its second star at the annual Michelin awards ceremony that took place earlier this week.

A far cry from your typical curry house, Gymkhana exudes luxury, and dinner there doesn’t come cheap. A five-course tasting menu will set diners back £110 each, and it’s an extra £95 for the wine pairing. On the menu you’ll find elevated versions of some of the most beloved Indian dishes, such as Goan prawn curry, chicken butter masala and tandoori lamb.

Gymkhana wasn’t the only London eatery this week promoted to the highest echelons of haute cuisine in the awards. The Ledbury in Notting Hill was given its third Michelin star, while newcomers like Chishuru and Akoko were awarded their first. Here’s the full list of London restaurants that had stars awarded (and taken away) this year.

Picantes, rooftop pools and poshos. That’s what springs to mind when you think of Soho House, the exclusive London members’ clubs known for their celebrity members, glamorous skyline vistas and er... terrible service.

Lately, the hubs for well-to-do London creatives have been floundering, with members complaining of long waits for food and drinks, overly busy houses and general disrepair in the venues. That’s why Soho House has decided to open a new central London spot, and it’s just been given the green light to take over a former restaurant in Mayfair.

Opening in Lancashire Square, Soho House in Mayfair will repurpose the site that housed brasserie Hush, which closed its doors after 24 years in November 2023. However, the new Soho House won’t be open until 3am like the one on Greek Street. Concerns that noisy guests could cause a nuisance in the neighbourhood mean the Mayfair house will have to shut at 1:30am. The new spot should have space for up to 170 members of London’s creative elite.

In January Soho House announced it wouldn’t be taking on any new London members for the time being, with current members complaining of overcrowding in the capital’s houses – news which was welcomed by many Soho House-ers. After all, how will they get their picantes if they keep letting in any old riff-raff?

07/02/2024

From vast displays of LEGO sculptures to exhibitions all about the history of balloons, right now it seems like London’s collection of ‘immersive’ attractions is more bountiful than ever before. But now you can strike a name off the capital’s list of big-screen immersive stuff, as the BBC Earth Experience in Earls Court has shut down.

BBC Earth Experience, for those who didn’t manage to squeeze in a visit, was an attraction centred around David Attenborough’s 2019 documentary series ‘Seven Worlds, One Planet’. It combined bespoke narration from Attenborough with shots from the series in an audio-visual show that lasted around 50 minutes.

The attraction opened in the purpose-built Daikin Centre last March and was scheduled to run until at least August – but that clearly wasn’t meant to be. BBC Earth Experience shut on February 1.

According to the Standard, a statement from the attraction said: ‘Moon Eye Productions have taken the decision not to extend the BBC Earth Experience London beyond February 1st 2024.

‘Anyone who purchased a ticket from 1st February 2024 will automatically be issued with a full refund and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.’

Mysterious, eh? And all that right after the opening of another David Attenborough VR experience just last week. This town ain’t big enough for two immersive Attenborough experiences, it seems.

While BBC Earth Experience certainly wasn’t bad (we gave it a very solid four-star review), it did get a bit of kickback for its ticket prices. Adult tickets cost a whopping £29, while prices for kids were still pretty high (£19). Needless to say, that’s quite a lot of cash – especially in a cost-of-living crisis.

If you’re still looking to scratch that immersive itch, this city has plenty of options. For starters, check out Time Out’s list of the best immersive theatre in London and read about the eye-popping history of immersive art in the capital.
