Circus London London
Dinner with a show
The glitzy West End restaurant and cocktail bar Circus, found in the heart of London’s atmospheric Covent Garden, dishes up modern Pan-Asian cuisine. It is famous for its unique dinner entertainment - circus acts and cabaret, of course.
The exciting range of acts entertain every half an hour or so, which mean if you arrive at the recommended time of 7:00pm, you can catch roughly around four acts. For me, this was the perfect amount to keep me entertained. Expect the likes of glitter-clad showgirls writhing from hanging ropes, to shirtless male performers dancing gracefully through suspended hoops!
Between the acts, the food also boded extremely well and I was particularly impressed with the fish options on the menu. I adored the crispy red prawn tempura, dipped into zesty lime ponzu sauce and the teriyaki salmon served with mustard, red onion and ginger, the succulent slices coated with a sweet, sticky sauce.
Bear in mind that dinner with such entertainment comes with a bit of a price; I would recommend an evening here for a special occasion or for someone seeking a more unusual dining experience whilst visiting London.

Book 28 Library
A tiny queer utopia
What really sets Book 28 apart, is their commitment to sourcing intersectional literature that would be unlikely to appear in your average public library.

Everything I’ve tried in this restaurant is delicious and plentiful. I love the bread, the dips and I can guarantee that their saffron rice is to die for!
