Books of 2025 : The Indiependent
If 2025 had a reading mood, it was one of seeking honesty in the quietest and loudest corners of our lives. This year’s standout novels didn’t just tell stories—they cracked open identities, challenged comfortable narratives and amplified marginalised voices.
Our team’s top reads wandered from sapphic astronauts and haunted housewives to wind spirits and war-torn trenches. They tackled the big stuff—shame, climate, societal facades, resilience and the nagging question of how we live with our...

Cocktail bar aims to revitalise London's declining nightlife scene
London’s nightlife is ever-evolving, but one Finsbury venue which opened in November is quickly making its mark in a crowded market.
The 1 Bar, located at 18 Appold Street, promises a fresh take on after-work experiences by merging crafted cocktails with daily live music performances.
Securing the perfect venue took 14 months, as large landlords were hesitant to take a chance on an emerging brand. However, perseverance and belief in the concept paid off.

Review: 'The Last Front' is more than just a war film
The Last Front takes audiences on a deeply human journey through the ravages of World War One, guided by Iain Glen’s powerful portrayal of Leonard Lambert, a simple farmer-turned-leader.
Directed by Julien Kerknawi, the film stands out for its fresh perspective, delivering a strong anti-war message that focuses on the human cost of conflict rather than the battles themselves.
As Glen pointed out at the premiere, it’s not just a war film, it’s a story about the devastating consequences of...
