Go Find It

It’s easy to get stuck with the thought that you need to find new things to see and do while you are away, but not when you are at home. That’s probably because at home you have your normal routines and you don’t really think of the places around you. However, that’s a shame, you miss out on a lot of things when going through the day in a routine.

I got reminded of this on Sunday, when I and my friends went for dinner just outside our flat. We live in Battersea Park and there are a few restaurants that I walk past almost every day going to the bus. I never pay much attention to them and I never thought of trying them out but when my friends wanted a meal out we decided to try something close to us for once.

We ended up in place called La Bottega Di Noemi which we discovered was a real gem. It’s not really a trendy place but it has its own tacky charm and the service was really good. We got offered food that was not on the menu and it was really tasty. If you’re ever around Battersea Park try this small Italian restaurant out

Hi, my name is George and im editor of VNA magazine (Very Nearly Almost) and im gonna be dropping by every now and again to guest blog. Hopefully I can bring some helpful information on the London street art scene to the table. VNA is a quarterly printed magazine that features street art and graffiti from London and interviews from artists, designers and photographers from around the world. If you get a chance go have a ganders.

So here is my top tip for the week if you are in London town…

Go see Miss Van’s retrospective show at Stolen Space gallery….

Its an amazing show and well worth a look. I went to the private view last night and the whole show blew me away. Featuring her work from as far back as 2003, the show also has a gallery space dedicated to her new body of work. Prints are for sale too. More info on the Stolen Space Website

Have a good weekend y’all.

I really enjoy going to gigs and listening to unsigned bands; there are so much talented people out there. That’s one reason I really like Joiners Arms and Debaser that I wrote about earlier, and that’s also why I’ve been looking for good venues in London. I found a few, for example Last Days of Decadence which seems nice as well as 12 Bar Cafe.

I would love to know what your favourite gig venues are! Leave a comment and I’ll try them out sometime
