Seaside town loved by celebs thanks to charming beach and 'cool' streets

Margate has transformed into a trendy destination with its stunning beach, vibrant atmosphere, top-notch eateries and refreshing coastal air - no wonder celebs can't get enough of the place If you're seeking the perfect weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of London, this hidden treasure in Kent is just the ticket. Margate, with its beautiful beach, lively atmosphere, top-quality restaurants and invigorating sea air, is the ideal spot for families or couples looking for a romantic short break. ‌ You may hold dear memories of Margate from your younger years, but the modern-day Margate has so much more to offer. The town boasts an impressive culinary scene and a thriving arts community. ‌ But don't worry — while Margate has certainly moved with the times, it hasn't lost its quintessential seaside charm. Today, it provides the best of both worlds: it's fashionable and creative, yet still exudes that nostalgic British holiday vibe. ‌ And we can't overlook Margate Main Sands — home to some of the softest, golden sands stretching across 19 miles of stunning Kentish coastline. Margate's Cliftonville area has been hailed as one of the 'coolest' in the UK, and TimeOut has named the town as one of the top places to visit. It's no wonder that Margate has become a magnet for celebrities and Londoners alike, causing a surge in property prices. Keep a lookout and you might spot famous faces like Lily Allen, Sam Mendes, Olivia Coleman, and even some cast members from EastEnders, reports MyLondon. ‌ For unique experiences, Margate is the place to be. Attractions include the Margate Museum, the eccentric Crab Museum, the magical Shell Grotto, and the subterranean marvels of Margate Caves. The delightful Margate Old Town is packed with quirky, smaller museums and diverse shops spanning from vintage to modern styles. Celebrating its legacy as a coastal resort, Margate delivers all the classic seaside pleasures: numerous fish and chip outlets, ice cream vendors scattered across the seafront, beachside pubs, and even mini golf. A short walk from the shore sits Dreamland, a retro funfair that remains a beloved destination for families. The venue features traditional carnival rides, live music performances, and the Scenic Railway—Britain's oldest timber rollercoaster. ‌ After spending hours on the sand, Peter's Fish Factory at 12 Royal York Mansions in Margate offers glowing recommendations for your fish and chips fix. For those seeking a more formal dining experience, Margate also excels with food establishments like Angela's and Bottega Caruso, alongside trendy newcomers such as Sargasso and Fort Road Hotel. Those craving a cultural expedition should visit the Turner Contemporary gallery, which showcases diverse art exhibitions that easily match London's cultural offerings. Guests can participate in guided tours and activities or relax in the café overlooking the harbour. Should you be organising a weekend break, ensure you experience Margate's magnificent four-acre tidal pool, situated merely 1.4 miles from Margate Main Sands. The Walpole Bay Tidal Pool, loved by swimmers throughout the year and families, stands as the UK's largest and features "fresh water springs rising from the beach" within its boundaries. It provides a perfect location to breathe in the sea air whilst enjoying a swim or simply relaxing beside the water. To reach Margate by rail, the HS1 service from St Pancras to Margate takes just 1 hour and 20 minutes. Should you prefer to drive from London, follow the M2, A2, A299 (Thanet Way), then the A28.

The best bar in Soho, according to Time Out

Soho is perhaps London's most bar-studded neighbourhood, but one sits head and shoulders above them all as the greatest place to drink. It's a bar that Time Out has diligently supported over the years (aka drank there a lot), and we're happy to call it the best bar in Soho for 2025; it's the excellent Trisha's on Greek Street! The bar's proper name is the New Evaristo Club, but the basement hangout and member's club is fondly known as Trisha's in homage to the venue's leading lady and de facto Queen of Soho, Trisha Bergonzi. Late chef and presenter Anthony Bourdain infamously branded Trisha's the 'Dean Martin of drinking establishments' after he visited with Marco Pierre White in a 2011 episode of his show The Layover. Once a men-only Italian gambling club, Liverpool-born publican's daughter Bergonzi began drinking in the club with her late husband decades before she took over the bar. 'They wouldn't let me in, but I made such a fuss over it that they had to,' she once said. 'Then I just stayed there!' The bar has been open for over 80 years. The bar is behind a discreet blue door on Greek Street and down a rickety flight of stairs. 'We've never advertised,' explained Bergonzi. 'We just sort of grew – we're one of those little gems.' Trisha's was saved from closure in 2013, after making headlines when Westminster Council applied for a licence review, stating that the bar was being investigated due to complaints from local residents. Other bars to feature in Time Out's Top 20 Bars in Soho include Three Sheets, which was recently tipped by bartending experts as the best first date bar in London, as well as the bar at restaurant Bebe Bob, Bar Termini, and Garlic and Shots.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori go viral yet again after Grammys afterparty video resurfaces

Kanye West and have gone viral again for their rollicking antics at a late-night afterparty. It happened in February during a Grammys event at which Bianca performed a karaoke version Adele's Rolling In The Deep. In the resurfaced video Kanye can be seen running his hands over Bianca's body as their tongues meet. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO The video went viral this week as Bianca jetted into Seoul, wearing perhaps her most surprising look to date - a completely covered up-outfit. In a departure from her usual flesh-flashing attire, Bianca, 30, showed hardly a shred of skin as she touched down into the South Korean capital alongside her spouse, 48. She wore black leggings, furry leg warmers, and a taupe messenger cap. Kanye dressed similarly in all-black, opting for a zip-down sweatshirt, leather pants, and suede footwear. The couple's outing comes about a week after Censori appeared in scantily-clad photos, which were photographed by her rapper husband and shared to Instagram.
