Where can I get Moulin Rouge-style fancy dress?

I’m going to a Moulin Rouge themed ball, and would like to know where I can get some really nice costumes from. Google isn’t helping much, and I’d like something quite glitzy rather than a leotard and a ra-ra skirt. Showgirl outfits and proper can-can get-up is much more like it. Any ideas? West or...

Estate Agents are rubbish. Just in case anyone didn’t know yet. Commercial ones are just as bad as residential ones but smarmier. Anyway, I’ve been hounding a whole list of commercial estate agents in a vain attempt to find an office to rent. Around 400-500 sq ft in Central London (West End/Waterloo/P...

We’re hosting an evening event with these two Irish authors on Friday May 4th, and I think it’s going to be a good one. John Connolly has a reputation for being a really entertaining speaker, and he and Declan Hughes are apparently great mates and have done this sort of thing together quite a few times ...

Where's a nice, non-spicy food restaurant near Covent Garden to take elderly relatives?

Elderly, though quite funky relatives coming over from Washington at the end of April. I need a table for dinner for 10 people in the Covent Garden area at a nice restaurant where the food is quite simple… there’s a wheat allergy thing to consider. We always end up in Porters, which is great but they w...

Imagine the scene. It’s 5.30pm, central London, Friday evening. You are bringing two people together, who, if they get on, work things out and strike a (business) deal, could make you a little bit richer and a lot more joyful. BUT…the meeting has to take place somewhere quiet. Somewhere Covent Garden-ish...
