From Coffee Shops to Sold-Out Shows, F Word catches up with Izzy Escobar Fresh off a sold-out night here in F Word’s home city of London, Cuban–Italian singer, songwriter, and pianist Izzy Escobar lets us step into a day in her life on tour - the coffee, the chaos, the quiet, and the rituals that keep her grounded between cities. London isn’t just another tour stop for Izzy. After a breakup, she took herself on a solo trip here - a reset, a reckoning, a place where she someh

As the temperature is set to drop, we find ourselves drawn to candlelit spaces with soft light, good music, and dishes that warm us from the inside out. From family recipes passed down through generations to modern twists on classic dishes, these restaurants give us a reason to dress up and leave the h

WORDS RACHEL EDWARDS - PHOTOGRAPHY HASHIM MUSA JR Last Saturday marked the summer solstice, and if there's one thing people cannot get enough of, it's a reason to manifest.

With one soapy hand dangerously close to dripping my laptop, I pressed play on Yijia’s new album TU .

The opening track, Willow Flowers , eases you in softly - a gentle, transportive piece tha

WORDS MAISIE JANE DANIELS November is calling and, with it, ten days where London becomes a living instrument — the EFG London Jazz Festival returns from 14–23 November 2025 , bringing with it a global tide of music, movement and conversation. Now in its 33rd year, the Festival has built a world of its own: a meeting ground for icons, boundary-pushers and quiet radicals. This year’s programme leans into what jazz has always done best — collaboration, collision, and communio
