Londonist
November 27, 2007









Not as exclusive as some of our readers might think ... the Members Room at the mighty Tate Modern is a splendid spot for lunch. Positioned on the sixth floor with large windows and a terrace over the Thames, the Members Room’s dead on view of St Paul’s Cathedral inspires as much as many of the pieces held in the Tate Modern’s collection.

We particularly like the spinach and agushi stew as well as the black-eyed peas with tomato stew … and we particularly love dousing a little (mega-super-wow) hot sauce on the side of whatever Jollof Pot item we’re eating.

East London Braced for Olympic Cock-up?

Is time running out for Olympic legacy?
In areas of east London destined to benefit from the legacy of the 2012 Olympic games there are concerns that time is running out for the regeneration plans to be finalised if they are to yield the hoped-for benefits.
By June Woolerton
BBC News

"The people of east London have learned not to get their hopes up too high because sometimes big projects deliver, sometimes they don't and we're hoping that the Olympics doesn't fail because if it does fail it will be failing the people of east London."

What's for Lunch? Wahaca
by Chris Osburn
Londonist
November 13, 2007

“Tender, marinated pork served with smoky black beans, green rice and pink pickled onions.” That’s pork pibil, one of many colourfully delectable items on offer at ‘Mexican market eating’ establishment Wahaca. Unfortunately, prices aren’t quite what you’d expect on the street of the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, but this resto’s menu is commendable for its fairly decent list of somewhat authentic Mexican yummies.

This week’s What’s for Lunch? finds us back in the pub. And, considering we’re nestled in and having a scrummy meal across from the Royal Courts in the 400 year old Seven Stars, we feel more than justified to plead our case for a lovely lunch.
