Title: Nduja, Brunch, and the Price of Progress in Berkshire We’ve all wandered along the riverbanks of Berkshire and felt the pull of an easy London snap: a Thames-side postcard with the glow of the city breathing just beyond the last moored boat.

Visiting this week, experimental music or art venues? Surviving and thriving in London’s nightlife Dusk drains the sky like a fresh coat of black lacquer and the city suddenly smells of street food: fried skal, miso-glazed something-or-other, a whiff of sizzling peppers from a late-night kebab joint tucked between two brick warehouses.
