After 40 Years in Soho, Sendean Cameras closes its shutters on St Anne’s Court

Sendean Cameras Soho | My Soho Times

As 2019 draws to a close and a new decade looms ahead, it’s easy to dwell on all the changes happening in Soho. One place however which remained consistent over the decades on a little pedestrian walkway of St Anne’s Court is the camera repair shop, Sendean Cameras. Established in 1926, the camera repair shop has been in the same Soho premises for past 40 years… However things are about to change. It was during a chance meeting with Susie Sheehan, daughter of the late owner Demetrios Demetriou, that I learnt about Sendean Cameras closing the doors of its Soho shop on the 6th December to merge with their Clerkenwell branch.Continue reading “After 40 Years in Soho, Sendean Cameras closes its shutters on St Anne’s Court”

I headed to the home of American cakes on our very own turf, Hummingbird Bakery, to try a selection of their Thanksgiving cakes… Giving me plenty of food for thought as I reflect on an abundance of reasons to be thankful this season.Continue reading “Hummingbird Bakery Thanksgiving treats & Reasons to be Thankful”

The Soho Girl and vegan guest Estelle

One of the perks that comes with my role as editor of a Soho magazine is the opportunity to feed my foodie persona! I’m a believer that food helps us create meaningful connections – especially when shared! For this date night, I invite Estelle, a model from Paris living in London, to join me at Soho’s INKO NITO. What I didn’t realise however is that she’s vegan. Tricky, I thought, for a restaurant specialising in grills. Luckily,  INKO NITO had us sorted!Continue reading “Dinner Date: Inko Nito with my vegan date Estelle”

Lunch Specials: Robata does Japanese fusion

My Soho Times | Robata

Being a new restaurant in Soho must be a bit like being the new kid in school and having to stand up to introduce yourself… You have lots to prove and the competition to get with the ‘in-crowd‘ must be stiff! However ROBATA have proved themselves to be one of the cool kids – bringing strong flavours of the far east to one of Soho’s most famous streets – Old Compton!Continue reading “Lunch Specials: Robata does Japanese fusion”
