The Frontline club is a media club in west London supporting international independent journalism. Started by Vaughan Smith (prev) after the Frontline TV agency closed, it has a restaurant, cinema and hosts talks by leading journalists. The website has blogs, articles and photography, and you can watch full length videos of talks, with people like Jeremy Paxman, David Horovitz and Robert Thomson

Really great food in their restaurant as well. Although eating haute cuisine next to blown-up photos from Vietnam and Cambodia is perhaps not the best mood setter for that all important first date.

I 've really enjoyed watching videos of several of their talks - the ones that cover areas I know a bit about were sensible and informed with credible speakers, which inspires confidence in the stuff that's all news to me.
