Jeff Koons Exhibits in London

I'm going to start by saying I am relatively new to the city of London, that is, I started working here quite recently. Being immediately hit by the enormously fast-paced nature of literally everything in the city, I adopted a 'say yes to...everything' attitude. This mind-set has seen me turn up at a designers' BBQ wedged between two closely spaced city walls, gazing across the city over a few bevvies up the Shard and having a picnic of risotto on the banks of the Thames within the first week, to name a few. As is the style with last minute plans, I was [...]

Chancery Lane: A Photo Essay

Last Friday, with a flurry of IKEA bags, cables, overflowing boxes and peak excitement, we moved from our beloved Bedford Square office into a whole new gaff. That's right; as of a week ago the lucky folk at WeWork Chancery Lane welcomed us into their fold with open arms, and it's fair to say we've settled in splendidly. In order of importance, here are the things we love most about our new working environment: Dogs. Dogs everywhere: WeWork is pet-friendly, and as a consequence, in just one week we have met no less than five dogs. Including one wearing a hula [...]

SESOME’s London Restaurant Picks

Here in the SESOME office, we are no strangers to a slice of fine dining. We can regularly be found under a mound of Domino's pizza, and we know the local Sainsburys salad bar like the back of our collective hand. However, amongst the lunchtime meal deals and endless packets of chocolate digestives, we still manage to spend a lot of time in London's newest, quirkiest and tastiest eateries. Because there ain't no dinner party like a SESOME dinner party, we've had a quick office whip-round for the team's top London restaurant picks and recommendations. You're welcome! Gigi Hoi Polloi, Shoreditch As [...]

Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia: A Photo Essay

On a rare, sunny day in the city, after looking longingly out of the office window at snap-happy tourists, we decided we wanted a piece of the action. As London workers, we rarely get the chance to experience the city through fresh eyes, and as one of the most bustling, vibrant capitals in the world, it really does deserve our full attention every now and then. So, we chucked on our sunnies, grabbed the communal Nikon, and headed out onto the streets to capture what we love so much about our own little slice of London.         [...]

A Pizza Lunchtime Fun…

Here at SESOME, we love a good pizza. Individually we are all connoisseurs of the beloved hot slice (including, sadly, those sold in our local Sainsbury’s at lunchtime), and as a team we can happily chat for hours about the correct ratio of cheese to tomato base. Hell, even Lurkey was once found beak-deep in a Pepperoni Passion during an office Domino’s session. It was then with a great deal of excitement we headed off down Tottenham Court Road (or ‘ToCoRo’ as we fondly know it) for our regular Mid-Month Munch, to secure a table at Franco Manca. Having been [...]

Our Five Favourite Festive Films

With all the Yuletide shenanigans the festive season has had to offer, at SESOME we're feeling the Christmas spirit like it's no one else's business. But, once the mulled wine has been downed and the last karaoke rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You has been had, we're looking forward to curling up in the sofa to watch anything involving sappiness, snow and Santa. So now we're going to share our favourite Christmas films with you. Enjoy! Adrian: Gremlins: Not necessarily a Crimbo classic, but then there are only so many times you can watch Home Alone! I saw this [...]

The Bird is the Word

At SESOME, we like to think of ourselves as pretty decent people. We work hard, recycle stuff, and always defend Sue Perkins when she’s bad-mouthed in the building. So last week when a little feather-clad fella’ showed up on our doorstep, we obviously had to take him in. Wrapped in a tiny blanket and with a thimble of scotch at hand (turkeys are notoriously big on scotch), our new friend let us know his name was Lurkey, and he’d escaped the other side of the pond when he found out that the Thanksgiving dinner party he’d been looking forward to [...]

The Summer of London According to SESOME

We make no secret of the fact that we love working slap-bang in the middle of London. There’s something about this city that brings out the fun side in everyone who lives/works/spends time here. For this reason, we thought we would highlight just a few of the ways in which the capital has risen to the occasion so far this summer, and provided some of the most ingenious, hilarious and just plain cool celebrations and activities for real fun in the sun! Wimbledon on the Big Screen – There’s no British summer without Wimbledon, and we got our fix chilling [...]
