Inside the penultimate print issue of the year, we speak to two local artists who have created a homage to much-loved Blustons from their studio in leafy Bartholomew Villas. They also reveal why they’ve been working on collages celebrating other local historic shopfronts.
We also unveil the Roundhouse’s radical history, speak to ‘smell expert’ Lizzie Ostrom about her favourite whiffs in Archway, get some foraging tips from acclaimed local chef Oliver Rowe, and hear from Soho Hip’s Debra on why the store has to close.
Plus there are reviews of new Tufnell Park opening Korova, Malden Road’s Gipsy Queen pub and Koshi, a quality sushi place in Camden Market.
