4 CADOGAN LANE
4 Cadogan Lane | The house that Judy died in. by Corinna Tomrley. Judy Garland lived, loved and died in a tiny mews house in Belgravia.

All scandals aside, John Galliano’s seminal 1984 Central Saint Martins graduation collection remains, like Christian Dior’s New Look of 1947 and Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking tuxedo of 1966, part of fashion folklore.

The Hotel sits on the lakeshore, its proper name now ‘Grand Hotel du Lac’ after a couple of refurbs to rejuvenate the elegant decor.

Suffice to say that Tenet, the new Christopher Nolan work, is worth the ticket price.Most movies that achieve theatrical release are worth the ticket price. There’s always a performance, or a story, romance, multiple explosions (if you like Michael Bay productions) or Hugh Grant dancing in a pink prison uniform (if you saw Paddington Bear 2).VINTAGE NYC
While I love the perennially cool likes of Liquid Sky, Downtown 81 and the oeuvre of Scorsese, one of the more offbeat movies to capture the landscape of bad old New York is Lucio Fulci’s The New York Ripper.It’s that rare giallo movie – one that ventures boldly off Italy’s soundstages. And, with shades of self-reflexivity, long-lost New York City movie theatres pepper its reels.THE UNFORTUNATE
The great English experimental writer B.S. Johnson would have been 80 this year. He died – at his own hand – 40 years ago, leaving behind a small but hugely influential body of work, including seven works of fiction, a memoir, and a scattering of playlets andjournalism.

"For such a new and advanced city, Dubai’s culinary offering remains sluggish; a decade-or more behind others. It’s skyscraper dining, bottomless brunches and sushi by the pool" EFFERVESCE SENSE | VALENTINE’S DAY EDITION "It’s silly, I know, but love is silly" EFFERVESCE SENSE | MAD ABOUT METHÓDE CAP CLASSIQUE "When you see a bottle marked Cap Classique, buy it… Drink it alone - you know I often do - or with people.

“…even if you think you know that Barolo smells of roses and tar, or Chablis tastes like it has trickled through ancient oyster beds, great bottles always have an originality that begs the question: how can this be made just from grapes?” REVIEW: _SHUGGIE BAIN_ BY DOUGLAS STUART "All this is bleak stuff. Delighted as I always am to see my home city represented in fiction, and to rewalk its geography in prose, I also cavil at depictions of Glaswegian life that are unremittingly grim" TOP TIER | MIDDLETHORPE HALL "Apparently, it is also a place for a wake.

It is heavy and late night" EFFERVESCE SENSE | OUT OF AFRICA, INTO YOUR MOUTH "That was back when you called everything champagne.

SPARKLING VICTORIANA | REVIEW: HAMPTON MANOR, SOLIHULL "We’re drawn to it like Britt Ekland to the wallpaper in The Wicker Man.

"Hand-harvested, bottled at the vineyard, I was waiting for her to tell me no grapes had been harmed' OLD TOWN TIMES TWO | THE BEST HOTELS IN PALMA "There is little to suggest from the outside of Can Bordoy that it is as grand as it is. The walk to it involves narrow, cobbled, fairy tale alleyways that twist and turn. Then: BOOM" TOWERING ACHIEVEMENTS | REVIEW: ROSEWOOD BANGKOK "Oh, 2020.
