The re-invention of Great Portland Street W1 (senior Beeboids preferred route to and from the tube) continues apace.

We note the arrival of nail salon Townhouse at No 88, featuring Manicure with Polish at £35, and Male Intimate Hair Removal at £59. A couple of doors down, at 82, there's a chance to show off your Townhouse look at Define, featuring exercise classes at the barre. Introductory lessons £28...

"DEFINE uses an intense mix of isometric moves whilst incorporating cardio infused sequences throughout the class to keep your metabolism high. While we stick to a formatted class within each concept, no workout is alike because we change up the choreography in every class to keep your muscles guessing."
