THE BUZZ | SOUNDS

GinglikThe bar at Shepherd's Bush Green looks like a vintage public toilet but when you go underground it’s actually a really cool venue called Ginglik with local bands like the Goldhawks playing for a mixed crowd.Rosie Bryan, 21, student, White City

The Cat’s Pyjamas This store (69 York Street, Marylebone) sells cute kitschy gifts and homewares. I also love Marshmallow Mountain (Kingly Court, 49 Carnaby Street), which specialises in vintage clothes. Lulu Taylor, 23, finance assistant, Baker Street

Drawing RoomI often stop for a coffee in the café/bar Drawing Room at Muse Gallery (269 Portobello Road). The exhibitions by up-and-coming artists change every two weeks – there's always something new to see.Toby Mueller, 27, barman, Notting Hill

WHAT’S YOUR SECRET LONDON?

MADRiDThe king of flamenco, Joaquín Cortés, has been given a one-year suspended jail term after it emerged he used €700,000, given to him by a group of Argentinean investors, to fund his lavish lifestyle. The businessmen believed they were involved in

a deal to set up a flamenco centre and restaurant in Madrid run by Cortés, but the establishment was never built. The star doesn’t shy away from controversy – two years ago he faced a paternity suit after he fathered a child by his former assistant. Ana Valencio
