Patrick Matthews and Emma Fernandez have run the cafes at Parliament Hill Lido, Queen's Park and Highgate Wood for several years, but were told just before Christmas they had been unsuccessful in a retendering process. The corporation, the governing body that runs London's Square Mile, has responsibility for managing green spaces such as Hampstead Heath, which it runs as a registered charity.
Alexander Riguardi moved into 36 Greene Street in December 2020, leasing the entire third floor of the five-story brick building on the corner of Grand Street for $7,250. The place was nice. There's a private elevator, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, and a well-renovated kitchen. It's also on one of Soho's quieter intersections while still being close to everything. And nicest of all, it may net him about $4 million.
