Thursday 21 August 2025...I went to two events tonight.... 6.15pm to 7.15pm. UNIT GALLERY - private view - 3 Hanover Square, Mayfair, London W1. Around 100 guests are here , with many gallery folks I know. Unit London will be hosting "Sho Shibuya | Falling From the Sky" from August 20 to September 21, 2025 Complimentary beers and sparkling soft drinks for all. then 7.30pm to 8.30pm. JUNK - press preview - 14-15 St Christopher's Place , London W1. It would appear that London simply does not have enough smash burger restaurants as Junk is getting ready to open its second burger bar in Marylebone. The first Junk (which hails from France) opened in Soho and they've also opened a Puffy cookie shop right next door. This Marylebone follow-up is opening in St Christopher's Place, taking over the somewhat short-lived Marugame Udon there (that opened late 2022). There you can expect the same menu as the Soho branch, all based around a cheeseburger with the option of up to five patties (and a truffle variant). Chicken nuggets and the big Puffy cookies will also be available here. This branch is very close to Oxford Street, so it could end up being very popular with shoppers. We were at somewhere else , when they had the launch evening , but they give us a complimentary meal each. The menu choice here is small and simple. I had a Truffle Burger with fries , and a large chocolate & hazelnut cookie dough and lager . ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Tuesday 19 August 2025...7pm to 10.30pm... FAIRGAME - press preview - One New Change , St Paul's , London EC4. FAIRGAME open their second location this week.
