GET YOUR CULTURE FIX
Jocelyn Bain Hogg Exhibition At Leica Gallery
Photographer Jocelyn Bain Hogg has captured some of world’s most famous faces during his 30-year career. In his own words, “I’ve seen the dark side of organised crime, been shot at in Palestine, stood on the podium in Ibiza’s Manumission with Fatboy Slim, been winked at by Uma Thurman in Cannes, and fallen over in front of Joan Rivers wearing my kilt at the Oscars.” This exhibition showcases some of his best work from 1985 to 2011. The exhibition is available to see until Sunday 27th March.
64-66 Duke Street, Mayfair, W1K 6JD

WATCH A PLAY
Steve
Steve has just opened at the new Seven Dials Playhouse theatre. The show debuted in New York (under the direction of Cynthia Nixon) at Joe Allen restaurant. Now, Londoners can watch the action in a replica version of Joe Allen, complete with full working bar. The play tells the story of Steven (David Ames), a middle-aged, gay New Yorker who, after spending his entire life in the spotlight, is struggling to come to terms with the fact that his party is over. It’s a sharp-witted comedy about the highs and lows of getting older, and what it really means to be alive. To celebrate the release, Joe Allen in London is offering 15% off post-theatre dinner for ticketholders.

IMPRESS YOUR MATES
1989 Clubhouse
1989 Clubhouse is a new members club in Covent Garden. Amid some swanky interiors, each room has a different theme, from a Parisian style lounge to an art deco-inspired bar with leather seating and mirrored walls. Upstairs, guests in the bar can order cocktails and an extensive selection of whiskies, before venturing downstairs to the White Room for pan-Asian dishes with wine pairings. Or just catch up with the boys over beers in the Red Room, which is a little more relaxed. Memberships prices available on request.

GO OUT FOR SUNDAY LUNCH
Mortimer House
Mortimer House has a new Sunday lunch offering. Served every week from 11am to 4pm, a seasonal menu takes inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Choose from starters like mac and cheese; duck terrine; blood orange and agretti; and octopus carpaccio with basil emulsion and aubergine. The main course is a twist on a typical roast – think slow roast pork belly with cannellini beans and romesco sauce to share; battered seabream; and braised ox cheeks with bagna cauda (a warm sauce made from garlic and anchovies).
37-41 Mortimer Street, Fitzrovia, W1T 3JH
