We're not usually ones to wear obvious logos here at Gunpowder, but when it comes to Playboy it's a different story altogether. After all, who could resist championing that cutesy-wutesy bunny wabbit? Having teamed up with two musical powerhouses, Playboy's latest line of limited-edition t-shirts are more must-have than chav.

And So To Bedford
/G-REVIEW
If you were in a rush you'd stride straight past the entrance to Bedford & Strand, a hidden gem in the heart of Theatreland. Behind its unimposing entrance just off Covent Garden, however, is a buzzing bistro in a cosy basement setting. We can't quite believe it's taken us this long to book a reservation.

Me Old China
/G-REVIEW
Everyone loves a good Chinese; dim-sum and Peking duck, after all, are the makings of a brilliant Friday night in. That said, sometimes we crave something from the Orient that's a little more high-end - something that serves up lashing of style as well as soy sauce.

Roll up, roll up, the Circus has come to town - and we're not talking about Britney's last tour at the O2 arena. Circus is the latest establishment to open up on Endell Street, and is every bit as chic - and freaky - as you'd expect for a high-concept destination restaurant.

While its many faces mean it's not particularly easy to tell the time on, for a design this divine we're prepared to guess and hope for the best.
