Celebrate Pancake Day 

East London’s favourite 24 hour independent ‘caff’, Polo Bar, is paying homage to Pancake Day by offering a series of specials, available all day and all night.

Spicy Full English Pancakes – Not your average stack. Three pancakes loaded with streaky bacon, hash browns, Cumberland sausage, cheese, and a fried egg, all drizzled with the famed Laoganma crispy chilli oil for a serious kick.
Pistachio Pancakes – A sweet twist with layers of vanilla cream, pistachio sauce, and crushed pistachios
Pineapple Pancakes – Think tropical indulgence – three pancakes with vanilla cream, caramelised pineapple rings, pomegranate seeds, and a quarter caramelised pineapple. Add a shot of Caribbean Spiced Rum for an extra punch!
The Polo Bar Pancake Challenge – Royale, Lotus Banoffee, or Cookies & Cream Challenge—finish in under 15 minutes and it’s yours for free, plus a bottle of Prosecco to wash it down!

The Lloyd’s Choir Spring Concert

The Lloyd’s Choir Spring Concert on 27 March 2025 at St Giles Cripplegate Church, City of London, will feature the world premiere of a new choral work by the Choir’s Music Director Jacques Cohen, commemorating the sinking of the British ship HMT Lancastria in June 1940, which resulted in a huge loss of life at least equal to the combined losses of the ‘Lusitania’ and ‘Titanic’ disasters (the losses from the Lancastria are estimated as being between 4,000 and 7,000). It is possibly the worst disaster in British maritime history, certainly the largest loss of life from one vessel, and 2025 will be the 85th anniversary.
