Weekend Film Club

Anyone else feeling decidedly 'un-ready' for autumn / winter? Much as I loved that gorgeous October heatwave, it's left me wanting more of the flip-flop and less of the Ugg boot. 

Still, Autumn it is, so to try and cheer myself up, I'm headed for the wonderful weekend film club at the Covent Garden Hotel. You get dinner (tick), you get a film (tick) and you get to do it all in SERIOUSLY stylish surroundings. I'm thinking of seeing 'The Skin I Live In', with Antonio Banderas… now there's something that's definitely still hot…

London Cocktail Week

Cancel your plans, find yourself a date and tell the boss you're going to be late – London Cocktail Week is back!

London Cocktail Week is designed to encourage Londoners to try new things – taste different cocktails, visit bars they’ve never heard of and maybe even try their hand at cocktail making too. Sounds to us like the perfect recipe for an inspired date...  and frankly, it doesn't take much to persuade Miss Mary to have a cocktail or two!

Head over to our website to find out more about London Cocktail Week 2011.

Bottoms up!
