From lasting changes to Eastern European grocery shops and restaurants to apps changing the ways that we plan a meal out. From chain restaurants that are finally paying more attention to allergens to cafes that are feeding into gut health trends. Digital technology, national events and increased awareness of nutrition are speeding up the cycle of trends and changes in London’s food scene. “Bite by bite: Tasting the future of London's Food Scene” is my dissertation-equivalent

Even after reading many travel features and watching endless documentaries that followed exciting travels across the globe, writing in this style myself was entirely new for me. Once I started writing about my recent trip to Budapest, I realised that I enjoyed describing all of these small moments in detail, translating my thoughts and emotions into a story that people could be inspired by.

In this essay I am going to conduct a case study of The Sunday Times multi-award-winning investigation of the murder of Kenyan sex worker Agnes Wanjiru, written in two parts titled, “I believe British soldiers killed my sister. Now I want the truth” and “I’ve killed her: the moment a British soldier ‘confessed’ to dumping a mother’s body into a septic tank”. The authors of this investigation are David Collins and Hannah Al-Othman. Collins, Deputy editor of The Sunday Times’s

Jack Whitehall sits quietly on a chair facing his parents on the stage, anxiously tapping his foot as they recall childhood memories of him falling asleep in his nanny’s bra or running around a pool naked. The 33-year-old does not seem too impressed with his father Michael’s confident use of the word “tits” as he remembered finding his son with his head in one massive bra cup and his bum in another. The audience at Hammersmith Apollo laughs painfully at the comedian’s embarra

The normalisation of cosmetic procedures on social media undermines the serious nature of seemingly minor procedures, and even going under the knife. These ever-shifting beauty standards and perceptions of cosmetic procedures are harmful to how users feel about their appearance, and ultimately how inclined they will be to change it. My podcast includes insightful interviews with an Aesthetic Nurse Practioner, a woman who has undergone cosmetic procedures, and young women who

Photography by The Other Richard Neon lights, pop music and TikTok-esque dances feature in director Jeff James’ modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel ‘Persuasion’ at the Rose Theatre in Kingston. The new play preserves the novel’s incandescent romantic tension, but Austen's intense curiosity for the class conflicts and social issues of the Regency period is less palpable amid steamy scenes that leave the audience in fits. As readers of the novel know, Persuasion is the st

He stressed the financial strain that the measures would have on those in the industry. Mulholland also expressed concerns about the responsibility placed on the pub owners and staff having to enforce these rules. “We were appalled when the Prime Minister first suggested the idea of vaccine passports for pubs and will continue to oppose this un
