The best of 2014: the year's top films, albums, theatre and more

Another year, another opportunity to take stock of just how spoilt our eyes, ears and mouths really are. Whether you're a movie buff or a theatre geek, 2014 has been an amazing year, with superstars from every field dropping by to show London what they've got. The city's drinking and dining scenes have had a pretty special year, too, with enough A-list openings to keep you fed and watered well into the next decade.

Can't remember what you had for breakfast, let alone stuff that happened way, way back in the spring? Allow Time Out's critics to remind you just how much of an awesome year 2014 was.
