We always have a healthy sense of optimism in January, despite the dark nights and frosty mornings.
Accordingly, in our new print issue we aim to inspire you to chase after your most ambitious goals for 2016. With the help of some of the area’s most successful entrepreneurs, we delve into the startup scene that’s sweeping not just NW5, but pretty much the whole world right now.
If that’s not your bag, we chat with MasterChef: The Professionals finalist Mark Holland, who’s sous chef at the Bull & Last, and put a little-known seafood restaurant in Camden on the map. We also namecheck two pubs to watch out for this year, and enjoy Vietnamese streetfood at Mornington Crescent’s Hawker.
Never been ‘networking’? Columnist and PR expert Sarah Park has some helpful tips.
Pick up a copy from one of these outlets below – and the big news is that from next month we’ll be dishing them out at tube and rail stations.
