From the moment you enter the double doors to Park Row, London’s first DC-inspired restaurant, the immersion begins in a lobby space decked out as a cosy, dimly lit library. Ushered through a secret entrance behind a bookshelf, we made our way down a darkened staircase reminiscent of a descent into the Batcave – complete with dramatic theme music from The Dark Knight – ready for a dining experience inspired by the Caped Crusader. Yep, London has a Batman restaurant. With so many restaurants in Soho to choose from, something a bit special is sometimes needed to grab attention. I first heard abo ..read more

I accepted an invitation to an evening at Lost Boys Pizzeria without even looking up what it was about, to be honest. Most of the time, you’ll get me with the word ‘pizza’ alone. So my base level of expectation was a decent night with friends, food and drinks. What I wasn’t expecting is how...
