What we’ve been up to… W Does Brunch at W Hotel, Leicester Square

I think we can all agree that Sundays were made for loungin’, which is why TCÉ eagerly accepted an invite to experience the W Hotel’s quirky brunch. For the past few months, this glam afternoon delight has given bleary-eyed revellers the ultimate recovery after the Saturday night shenanigans – so heels are traded in for slippers, bloody Mary’s are on tap, and there’s a choice of Ab Fab re-runs or a DJ’s retro selection for light entertainment.

But it’s the food that impressed us the most: you get a generous selection of granola, grilled chicken caesar salad, welsh rarebit, smoked salmon bagel, a smoked haddock and salmon scotch egg, roast beef with yorkshire pudding and season vegetables AND truffle macaroni cheese – then there’s a sweet stall with cookies and cakes to top it all off. Not bad for £25 and a spare Sunday afternoon!

Looking for a venue to chill all day and party all night? Hit up Café 1001, the unique club-lounge where you can read, write, work (free wi-fi!) and hang-out, while listening to London’s best upcoming DJ’s all week – for free! That is the beauty with 1001 – the open atmosphere invites you to ‘just be’; whether it’s dancing to elec-tech sounds with a beer in hand or relaxing with cake and coffee – much enjoyed by its eclectic mix of visitors, ranging from cultural fans to creative socialites.

The cafe’s also renown for its tasty food too (you can smell the outdoor BBQ a mile a way!), so where other East End haunts might be a bit try-hard to win custom, Cafe 1001 is an effortless spot for good eats and tunes, that’s got a little something for everyone. (Words: Hollie Hines)

As if the swish W Hotel in Leicester Square couldn’t get any cooler, they’ve now installed a library inspired by some of the world’s greatest authors, open to both guests and the public. Curated by journo Damian Barr, The W(riters) Library consists of 100 books chosen by celebrity wordsmiths including by Bret Easton Ellis, David Nicholls, Hephzibah Anderson, Geoff Dyer, Ned Beauman, Alex Preston, Naomi Alderman, Sloane Crosley, Jake Arnott and Craig Taylor. There’s classics, graphic novels – even some Dr Suess! – among the book selections, and to make it all the more special, each author has included a handwritten witty introduction in their chosen books, explaining why they love it. Could this be the sweet taste of literary heaven? Uhhhh, yea? (Words: Matilda Egere-Cooper)
