The New Ladies Who Lunch: London’s Fresh Faces of Elegance and Influence

The New Ladies Who Lunch: London’s Fresh Faces of Elegance and Influence London’s lunching elite are evolving. Gone are the days when the phrase “ladies who lunch” conjured images of immaculately coiffed women in pearls, sipping champagne at the same old Mayfair haunts. In 2025, the new set is younger, more diverse, and far more ambitious. They’re redefining what it means to be stylishly influential in the capital. 💼 Who Are They? These modern "ladies who lunch" are a dynamic mix of entrepreneurs, creatives, philanthropists, and cultural influencers. They’re not just socialites—they’re power players who use their platforms to drive change, support causes, and build communities. Think founders of women-led startups, bestselling authors, and activists hosting events that blend business with pleasure. 🥂 Where Do They Go? While the classics still hold sway, today’s lunch spots are as much about vibe as tradition. Here are some of the go-to venues: Sketch : A whimsical, art-fi...

Why Online Dating Is So Bad in 2025: An In-Depth Look at a Modern Disappointment

Why Online Dating Is So Bad in 2025: An In-Depth Look at a Modern Disappointment Online dating in 2025 is more accessible and sophisticated than ever—but paradoxically, many users report growing frustration, burnout, and disappointment. Despite new features, improved algorithms, and a booming number of apps catering to every niche, the user experience has never felt more hollow. So, why is online dating so bad in 2025? Let's break it down. 1. Algorithmic Fatigue: The Illusion of Choice Most dating platforms rely on algorithms to curate matches. In theory, this should be efficient and tailored—but in practice, it often leads to “option paralysis.” Users are presented with endless choices, which diminishes the perceived value of each match. People swipe endlessly, not necessarily to find a connection, but to see if someone “better” is a swipe away. This commodification of human connection erodes depth and makes forming meaningful relationships harder. 2. Gamification Over Conn...

Ivy Cafe Marylebone - restaurant review

The great thing about the Ivy restaurants is that you know what to expect more or less in every one. The Ivy Cafe in Marylebone is a great little mini version of the regular Ivys but a little bit more intimate. A smaller space which conveys more of a subdued ambiance rather than the Ivy Chelsea or High Street Kensington. It is located a short walk from Bond Street tube station, so just in the heart of central London which is very convenient if you want to eat something before or after theatre or a concert. The menu is also great, I think all Ivys share the same menus so you know what you are getting, which is really great as this one doesn't disappoint either. We had scallops as a starter , fried calamari, followed by grilled haloumi and pasta. Then some desserts, everything was delicious including my Bellini and Chablis wine. Super nice and helpful service was very attentive but not intrusive, all in all a great experience if you are looking for a relaxed casual dini...

Ivy Chelsea Garden Beautiful restaurant on King's Road in the middle of Chelsea. One of the best bets in Chelsea if you are looking for somewhere lovely to eat , either for lunch or dinner.

BLUEBIRD BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Bluebird in Chelsea is a special place for me to visit before Christmas, it is almost a yearly tradition. Christmas decorations and lovely atmosphere as always. Several Christmas trees and blue baubles of course! This time slightly more quiet as it was a week day. The great news is that the new house Champagne is Nyetimber which is one of my favourite champagnes. They have it by the glass and by the bottles of course. Dangerously delicious! This was a lovely dinner and as always the menu changes slightly every time I visit. This time we had amazing mushroom tagliatelle and fish followed by the best dessert in the world -Snickers. Dessert poetry! Please Bluebird don't ever take this off the menu! Accompanied by lots of wine. As always fantastic service. Definitely we will be back for more amazing evenings in one of my favourite restaurants in London. And of course the fantastic bar that becomes very busy on weekends.

Everyman in Chelsea - luxury London cinema

Does anyone go to the cinema anymore in London? Yes, definitely, especially my favourite London cinema at the moment, while mourning the loss of Curzon Victoria, a loss we can never recover from as Londoners. The cinema that comes to the rescue in those times of culture depravation is Everyman cinema in Chelsea. It is located on King's Rd, of course and it probably the cutest cinema in town, with lovely decor and plush seating areas, bar with drinks and snacks and of course your own waitress serving directly to your seat. Perfect for a date or even solo cinema outing. The best part about this cinema is the it also has screenings of other cultural delights such as opera or theatre and as a matter of fact it can be even better than attending theatre itself as the seating is more comfortable and you can pretty much sit anywhere and feel like you are right up there in the beast seats in the opera ot theatre itself. Without being significantly impoverished by the premium tickets....

Lonely in a big city...?

Why People Feel Lonely in Big Cities, Especially Men Big cities like London, New York, and Tokyo are brimming with life—there’s always something to do, somewhere to go, and countless people around. Yet, paradoxically, these same places can also feel surprisingly isolating. You’d think that being surrounded by so many people would make it easy to connect, but for many, big cities can sometimes amplify feelings of loneliness. This is especially true for men, who often face unique challenges when it comes to emotional connection and socializing in urban environments. The Illusion of Connection When you live in a bustling city, it’s easy to assume you’re never truly alone. After all, you’re constantly in close proximity to others. Public transport is packed, cafes are buzzing, and people are going about their day-to-day lives. But here’s the catch: just because people are physically close doesn’t mean they’re emotionally connected. In fact, the very anonymity of city life can sometimes mak...
