Stuff We Like

We’re people of rarefied tastes (most of the time) and we don’t just recommend any old thing.
But some of the people and places we’ve encountered are, we think, worthy of note.

High Road House Members’ Club

Our local brasserie, meeting/conference facilities and general home away
from home. We spend more time here than we do in our own living rooms.

We think of Sten, Luke, Ed and Rusty as our house band.
We like rock and roll and they do it pretty darn well.

The Chocolate Lounge, by Theobroma Cacao

If you like quality chocolate (and if not, why not?), this is the place to go.
If we could live on this stuff 24/7 we would. Jo once notably required a 3am
private opening on her way back from a late night in town when hunger struck!

Cinema Times App

‬This is a great one for getting you out of the house and in front of the big screen when you need a break from your ‘wonderful’ home life.


British Beauty Blogger

Acerbic, witty and honest – especially about PRs and the things they do wrong. And when we say ‘they’, we of course mean other agencies.


arts and letters daily

Arts and Letters daily

No matter what you may have heard about 24-hour TOWIE marathons, we’re actually a cultured bunch with rarefied tastes.


arts and letters daily

The Daily Mash

Brilliantly vicious and very, very funny news satire (e.g. London commuters think of each other as ‘diseased rats with iPhones’).


Gails Bread

Gail's

If you knead somewhere to spend your dough, use your loaf and go here.



Sport Mag

Sport Mag

Graham Willgoss, formerly of Velvet, works here. If we say we like his mag he’s promised to destroy the negatives.


Pot Pourri

Pot Pourri

If you like flowers (and if you don’t, you’re weird), this is the place to get them.



Amy Kent Rugs

Amy Kent Rugs

Rugs that are so gorgeous you don’t want to step on them (and yes, we know that sort of defeats the object...)


Outsider Tart

Outsider Tart

As a certain Mr Simpson would say, “Mmmm, cupcakes...”*loud drooling noises*



Alpha Netball

Alpha Netball

This is Lauren’s team. They’re awesome. ‘Nuff said.



Zeebox

Zeebox

An app that does for telly-watching what Dyson did for the vacuum cleaner.



Asos

Asos

We’d buy out their entire inventory if we could. And then we’d laugh derisively at all the other people who aren’t dressed as well as us.


‪Whitechapel (TV Programme)‬

‪Whitechapel (TV Programme)‬

The nerds of Velvet (a slightly sinister clique who meet at midnight dressed in long, black robes) think this show is epic.
