Tucked into a convenient nook beneath an elevator at Harrods, Comic Timing is a thoughtfully curated exhibition of original artwork by British comic book writers and artists. As the curators note, comic art has long been seen as a disposable medium - the "off cuts" of the industry, they were often given away or destroyed, and it is relatively recently that the fruits of the artists' labours have been seen as valuable in their......

The Cadogan Hotel lies somewhere close to the soul of Knightsbridge: more than 120 years old, clad in Harrods brick and terracotta, and suffused with London history. Actress Lillie Langtry occupied the town house for years, and even stayed on in her own suite after converting the building to a hotel. Some say she still does.
