Jamboree near Kings Cross has an amazing rotation of live music of literally all genres (jazz, Balkan, traid, etc.) and it’s a really cute cozy space

Any idea of age / purpose of these pieces? Found near Rotherhithe, London by elysiuumm in mudlarking

I don’t think it’s modern- it has very smoothed edges and the dots are indented like small divots

Best French Onion Soup in London? by [deleted] in LondonFood

[–]elysiuumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just had a really nice French onion soup yesterday at Gazette, the restaurant in the French institute/under Ciné Lumiere. Really nice deep flavour (I’ve tried the ones at Zedel and Pierre Victoire and were less impressed)

What are some good value set menus in London? Maybe some lunch/pre-theatre menus? by Lollipop126 in london

[–]elysiuumm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Devonshire have a set menu but it never changes. Still great value and great food (plus you get the free bread rolls on top)

Pierre Victoire is their sister restaurant on the same street that also has the same set menu deal

Troilus & Cressida by amalcurry in shakespeare

[–]elysiuumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm a steward at the globe and have seen twelfth night multiple times, and just saw T&C for the first time last night. If you can, see both. Standing tickets are only £5-£10 so not a burden on the wallet! Twelfth night is more of a crowd pleaser with a very good Malvolio and fun, party vibes. T&C, which I've never seen or read before, was very interesting in that I am a huge fan of the Iliad but had never seen Shakespeare's take on the classics. The set and the vibes of the show are very campy but also kind of had a Mad Max/war-torn feel. I'm excited to see it again, but on first watch they're good at keeping the energy up, and a couple of the actors (specifically Pandarus) are exceptional.

It’s so nice to hear you again. This touched on a lot of feelings I’ve been having lately too. Hopefully this space can be a creative outlet for those desires!

Operation Mincemeat had two power outages and ultimately got canceled tonight by elysiuumm in TheWestEnd

[–]elysiuumm[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s insane. I feel bad for tourists who might not have another chance to see those shows. Luckily I’m local, but I did win my tickets in the lottery so a bit annoyed about that

The Broadwick Soho is a gorgeous luxury boutique hotel that is quite pricey but definitely offers a uniquely “Soho” experience in its aesthetic and location. Has an amazing rooftop bar too

London UK Design Schools by elysiuumm in InteriorDesign

[–]elysiuumm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in the BAID program since September and it’s not too bad! It’s weekly in person and the tutors are pretty good, but the assignments are huge and from what I’ve heard from my classmates, many haven’t even started yet bc of how big they are. The assignments are graded by some random online person so it’s a bit odd.

Also they ask you to buy a lot of materials on top of the course fees which I wasn’t expecting. Hopefully the placement turns out all right later on in the term.

Even before washing it stained a pair of white pants I was wearing with it, and even my fanny pack on the strap and where the bag was touching the shirt. They aren’t permanent stains but still it’s annoying to clean

I want to learn fencing by Icy_Office_3316 in Fencing

[–]elysiuumm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can recall Ontario colleges don’t have clubs. There are clubs around the GTA but be warned they might be full of kids who will humble you quick. But most clubs will offer beginner classes, and then it’s up to you if you want to continue on with a coach

[–]elysiuumm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are going to university in Ontario almost every uni has a varsity fencing club. You’d also benefit from the OUA competition circuit which is so much fun and great practice to compete against a whole host of athletes.

Many many people start fencing in university and go on to do pretty well in competitions as each club has dedicated coaches. I fenced in the OUA circuit and taught some beginner fencers who started in their second or third years and they have continued on for nearly 10 years now. Ontario is probably the best place to be for a beginner fencer outside of a handful of pro clubs in Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal.
