The late Malick Sidibé is Mali's most famous photographer. His iconic black and white images from the 60s and 70s documented the pop culture of a country loosening its belt. Nightclubs, midnight swims, barefooted girls in babydoll dresses dance the twist: these images capture the freedom of a newly independent mali'


"We were entering a new era, and people wanted to dance," Sidibé said "Music freed us. Suddenly, young men could get close to young women, hold them in their hands."


This autumn, Somerset House present the first solo exhibition in the UK of the Sidibe's work.

  • Beaufort Bar at The Savoy

    Nothing quite matches the glamour of The Savoy. One of the most famous hotels in London and located on the vibrant Strand, The Savoy is home to a range of luxurious restaurants and bars. Beaufort Bar is a particular favourite of ours, not only because of its trademark cocktails but because of its colourful history. The bar itself was once a cabaret stage used by the likes of George Gershwin and Carol Gibbons, and the menu, inspired by the many famous faces that have graced the halls of The Savoy, takes you on a journey back in time.
