For Such a Time as This by Shani Akilah
Gabby and Jonathan cross paths at the wedding of a mutual friend. They both wonder if this could be the start of something, but fate has other ideas.
When Niah tries to call out her employer for their empty words about diversity and inclusion, she comes face to face with racism reaching right to the very top.
Sharna is holding onto her own secret when she sets out for Jamaica to visit her grandfather, on a trip that throws fresh light onto the family history she has always taken for granted.
Shani Akilah’s stunning collection brings to life the stories of Black-British Londoners as they explore friendship and romance, community and independence, and navigate their way through the relationships that make them who they are.
Gallio, Canary Wharf
Welcome To Gallio
We are a Mediterranean restaurant in London Canary Wharf. We’re enlightened specifically by the Mediterranean’s vibrant freshness, tantalising flavours, passion for handcrafted food and kaleidoscope of colours on a plate. Thus our menu is a loving tribute to this bountiful region. We take inspiration from its presently rich culinary tapestry.
What’s more we celebrate the Mediterranean spirit of social dining, and relishing the company of those we hold dear. We’re beyond excited to embark on this particularly delectable journey with you. We also can’t wait to share our passion for the Mediterranean.
