The Harold Pinter Theatre has been closed for over a year now, having prematurely lowered the curtain on Conor McPherson’s fresh take on Uncle Vanya in compliance with the first sudden lockdown. Hurrah, because the West End venue is due to reopen this May with an surprise three-part season, Reemerge, featuring performances from well-known screen stars as well as up-and-coming talent, and sharing directorship across the board in a similar vein.


First in the series is Walden, a debut play by Amy Berryman, bolstered by the direction of Ian Rickson (Jerusalem, Uncle Vanya) and a leading performance by actor Gemma Arterton (Tamara Drewe, Quantum of Solace). The three-hander also stars Lydia Wilson, who shone in the Almeida’s recent production of The Duchess of Malfi, and Fehinti Balogun, known for his roles in Juliet, Naked and The Importance of Being Earnest.


The futuristic-sounding story follows Nasa botanist Cassie (Wilson), who returns from a year-long escapade on the Moon to find herself in a remote woodland cabin, where her estranged twin sister and former Nasa architect Stella (Arterton) has built a new life with climate activist Bryan (Balogun). Will the sisters manage to patch up the old rivalry that drove them apart?


Following Walden is another debut, Yasmin Joseph’s Notting Hill Carnival-set J’Ouvert (Wednesday 16 June - Saturday 3 July). After which, Emma Corrin makes her West End debut on the Harold Pinter Theatre stage in Anna X (Friday 9 July - Wednesday 4 August), Joseph Charlton’s new play about two fresh-faced fashion workers struggling to keep up with New York’s social elite.

  • Xu

    Xu has it all. It looks good enough to eat, the menu is thrilling and they're to be applauded for bringing proper Taiwanese dining to London. The service is beautifully judged and well informed. The only challenge may be getting a reservation, as almost all the critics love it.

  • Rose Bakery

    Another nice secret spot is Rose Bakery, at the top floor of Dover Street Market, for delicious quiche and desert. Tables are tiny and you'll have to fight your corner to get seats, between fashion people and wannabe curators.

  • Japan Centre

    Once upon a time, the Japan Centre was just a small bookshop and café in Piccadilly Circus. However, recently it has seen some major expansions, and now has a number of different sites throughout London. Visit Japan Centre Panton Street just around the corner from Leicester Square to eat at its fantastic food court where you can sample a variety of Japanese delicacies. Then have a look around the shop to purchase some tasty snacks or ingredients to make your own dishes at home.
