I had the article at the Design Sponge open for the last few weeks looking for a perfect moment to share a stunning accessory for the best mean of transport in the world – your bike! With Spring coming back to the streets, bike riding & gardening are the must-do activities for city people, aren’t...
The Social Media Week in London surprises with the amount of events dedicated to advertising industry with actual social projects and innovations forgotten. In my experience this year, Great British Chefs made a great effort to fill this gap when organising the discussion: How Social Media & Collaboration Change The Way We Eat. Check out...
Three monuments in London have been recently involved in the project called Plunge, initiated by artist Michael Pinsky. The instalation is made out of a string of low energy blue LED lights wrapped around each monument. Every string marks a time, 1000 years in the future, when the sea levels will rise dramatically and change the current face...
Welcome to Smart Kitchen – the sharing point of sustainable cooking experiments. This is the first ‘episode’ that grew out of willingness to share food discoveries & as well as to break some myths about the unbearable price of sustainable food. I believe that quality matters to your plate and stomach and often sustainably sourced...
The Peoples Supermarket is one of the best examples of how urban communities can work together to inspire long term social change and tackle some of the problems that even modern cities face. This community gathered to ‘create a commercially sustainable, social enterprise that achieves its growth and profitability targets whilst operating within values based...
Windofarms came to my attention just before Christmas when they were featured on the Kickstarter. Why? At our house we’ve been trying to grow some herbs and greens with very little luck as they soon die mainly because they lack light, care and proper hydration. Windofarms solve this problem easily with what they call “a...
There are great thoughts, quotes, articles worth sharing all the time. Some make you bored, some make you tick, some make you start something new or make you feel uncomfortable. This time I came across a self-check quote: Finding work you love is very difficult. Most people fail. Even if you succeed, it’s rare to...
As the weather is iresistable in London, head to somehwere you haven’t been or drag a long time not seen friend to the new emerging space for great food, vintage shops, local artists in a querky Brixton Village. I’ve discovered Brixton again after a visit to the market with the local-venu expert, our own Rhea....
I’ve been waiting so long for the day to actually visit the freshly-opened cinema and see the insides. To make the visit even more special, I went there to see the long wated ‘Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows’. So what did I receive? super-reasonable price: they do a 6 pound Monday deal, bargain! gallery-music venue-eatery-bar-cinema...
‘What makes a Super City?’ – was the question asked by some great guys from Bike Friendly North Shore. I know it was asked almost two years ago but the answer still makes me very happy. It wasn’t a protest. It wasn’t a moan. It was a great visual solution of how to promote my...
“No one gives you innitiative, you have to take it” – brilliant words by Seth Godin. If you need more courage, you can watch a full interview, initiated by Mashable, below.
Having a favourite market is a must these days, if you live in London. A good selection is there as well with Brixton, Borough, Greenwich, etc. Not mentioning all the old-school markets in the high streets (not my favourite). You’re spoilt if you live in Hackney, as all your weekend can...
