What we’ve been up to… tapas in London at Camino Bankside

Despite the flaky weather around these parts, ’tis the season to totally eat al fresco. So when a slick Spanish outfit like Camino invites you for tapas in London at their new site (which has an outdoor terrace AND gin bar that’s just yards away from the new Tate Modern), and it’s a bottomless brunch, you say yes. Happily.

Plus, this is the point where I admit, while I’ve enjoyed my fair share tapas over the years, I haven’t eaten at Camino before. Nope, never. But now I know what I’ve been missing – wonderful, well-made spanish dishes with like arroz negro (black rice made with cuttlefish and alioli), gambas ajillo (garlic prawns), a selection of charcuteria meats, and the tortilla de patata (TOO GOOD).

The bottomless tapas brunch also gets you unlimited cava or mimosas for £25 and runs from 11-3:30pm on Saturdays and Sundays – so the next time you’re around those parts and the weather’s on point, heading here would be a good shout. And did I mention they do an amazing tortilla? Check out pics from my recent visit below:

Something You Should See… Endless Stair

Personally I blame the Shard, that’s what started this obsession with things in London being high and tall. There’s no more mere five storey buildings for us – if you don’t have to crane your neck to look at its very top, it’s just not getting built in the capital anymore. While not quite skyscraper status, the Endless Stair installation – with its 187 steps – will allow visitors to climb up towards the sky and provide a new viewing platform and feature in London’s attractions. The 436 metre interactive structure is made of a series of 20 interlocking staircases, inspired by drawings of M.C. Escher which is clearly evident when viewing the structure. From photos the piece slightly resembles a children’s jungle playground frame with visitors navigating the steps which turn up and down, left, right and everywhere testing our visual and physical perceptions. Located just outside the famous riverbank art space of the Tate Modern the new installation is being raved as one of the landmark and pivotal pieces from this year’s London Design Festival and was designed by architectural firm dRMM.Endless Stair can accommodate a maximum of 93 people at a time so arrive early or be prepared for queues. (Words: Lucy Palmer) On until 10th October 2013, admission is free. For more info, visit www.londondesignfestival.com/endless-stair
