Hello all, bit late this week, sorry.

Kin, Fitzrovia, W1

The featured article is Kin, W1W 6DT. This is a veggie cafe near to where I work in London's Owl Country (it's a long explanation, you can call it Fitzrovia if you prefer). They have a sort of classic real-food wholesome vibe but poshed up a bit for yr modern market, tasty food and plenty that's vegan friendly (clearly marked) if that's your thing.

Our one addition is a sandwich shop in Croydon, Stuffins Unlimited. It's a decent selection for hungry council staff, with great fresh bread.

There's a brief update to The Bull and Gate to note that it's been reopened and it's more gastro than grunge nowadays. Certainly, there's no music unless you count jazz on a Sunday afternoon (NB I don't know if they do jazz on a Sunday afternoon, but it's the kind of thing I'd imagine they'd do).

Two pub renamings are The Black Cat in Catford (formerly the Catford Ram), and The Flying Horse on Oxford Street (formerly The Tottenham).

And then there are the pub closures. There's The Fanny on the Hill in Welling; The Smithfield Tavern by, er, Smithfield; The Noble in Crouch Hill (now The Hopsmiths, run by those Late Knights people); The Skylark and The Tin Goose both in Heathrow Terminal 1; O'Brien's in Brentford (now The Northumberland Arms); and The Lord Wargrave in Marylebone (now the Wargrave Arms, though I'm not convinced about that change of name).

Hello folks, and sorry for the delay, what with the bank holiday and my own disorganised inbox, I forgot about this update!

Noble, Stroud Green, N4

This week's featured article is The Noble, N4 4AP near Crouch Hill station. It does play a bit of music now, but it's still a nice alternative to the two other nearby pubs (Old Dairy and Stapleton Tavern), with a decent range of beer and some pretty nice food.

We have two new articles. There's Cubana behind Waterloo, which has been a Cuban-themed bar for as long as I can remember, so I guess that makes it some kind of institution. There's also Zoilo, an Argentinean restaurant in Marylebone for which I can promise I have photos, I just haven't uploaded them yet. Wonderful empanadas and a top range of well-chosen wines. Bonus also for the very garlicky fries.

Finally, a reported closure is The Old Anchor pub in Twickenham.
