The Acid Lounge: “People have a great nostalgia for the Acid House days and the Smiley.”

After graduating from university with a degree in Creative Technology, Tom Finn moved to London and became the head of DJ Mag TV. It was there that he really made his name on the international dance music scene as a wild child interviewer, DJ and music producer. Kelly Gavaghan gets the low-down on how The Acid Lounge came about, and what’s next for the self-made artist.

On The Rise: Filipino Cuisine | My Soho Times

Type ‘Filipino cuisine‘ into your Google search bar and at least 20 restaurant suggestions pop up for London, a relatively recent phenomenon. Previously Asian food was often categorised just as Chinese, Japanese, or South East Asia, Indian. Well those boundaries have been well and truly breached! The islands of this beautiful nation (note the spelling difference between the country, Philippines and it’s cuisine, Filipino), are coming into their own – it certainly helped when BBQ Dreamz won the Million Dollar Menu on primetime TV a few years ago.

So, think Asian flavours with smoky BBQ, crackling young pork, veggies doused in coconut milk, and garlic rice – as standard! Here are three you can find in the heart of London:

BONGBONG’S MANILA KANTEEN

The aforementioned and now re-named BBQ Dreamz began life in Hackney but with the big time beckoning it now boasts a permanent site in Seven Dials. Hipster Filipino, according to the Daily Mail. Try the Lemongrass and Ginger Prawns – lush!

Seven Dials Market, Earlham St, London WC2H 9LD

KASA AND KIN

Opening to some fanfare late last year (and with good reason), the specialities of this Kasa (or house) are flavoursome broths, grills and, skewers and Instagrammable desserts. Operates a bakery and patisserie in addition to the restaurant. Spoilt for choice! See our Influencers Network visit here.

52-53 Poland St, Soho, London W1F 7NQ

SARAP FILIPINO BISTRO

Some show-stopping dishes, according to The Guardian and they’re not wrong. Expect a simple yet concise menu, with first prize, for me, going to the Crackling Pig’s Trotters (that’s the beauty of food, it often tastes a whole lot better than it sounds!). On the non-carnivorous side it has to be the kale –veggie virtue, but without having to forgo great taste.

Women’s Safety in Soho: Is Anywhere Really Safe?

Soho’s shadowy corners and its seedier side have been glamorised for decades. They have become part of the folklore that continues to attract visitors to the area. But the area’s dark alleyways and its role as a centre for late night entertainment has an impact on how people who live, work and visit the area feel about their safety.
