Kitchen W8 is a bargain for this area, if such sophistication is what you crave
Kitchen W8
Too long and drawn out but very entertaining with excellent special effects
This is a peculiar play and does not work for me. Some of it is very funny but there are real flaws
Alex has a strong powerful voice and was faultless, she is far better now than she was on the X-Factor

Two streets but a million metaphorical miles away from bustling Hoxton Square, it was no surprise that this sad and depressing back street pub would eventually shut down.
As the old regulars passed away or switched to the homely delights of Sky TV, it's card was marked; the last time we passed it was empty. We used to wonder if Marie Lloyd - a once famous Victorian Music Hall singer - would've been happy to have this pub named after her. Still, it was heartening to discover that some brave soul has decided to give the place a refurbishment and aim for a more sophisticated clientele.
The outside is an inviting shade of green and they actually spent time finding out about Ms Lloyd, as underneath the name it reads: "A bit of what you fancy will do you good" - one of her more appropriate quotes. They've been open for a little over a year now and things have settled down nicely. There's reasonably priced food available at lunchtime and in the evenings and the decor is comfortable, even if the lighting is a bit harsh.
On our Thursday evening visit it was pretty quiet, with only a handful of people in place and a little too much Beatles being played. Nevertheless, the service is excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. We'll go back on a weekend night to see how it fares at peak hours.
