There’s nothing like a time limitation to make you get off the sofa and out of the house more. From special nighttime museum viewings to brand nsew craft brewery launches, this month in London is leaving you with no excuses to stay in.
1. Don Perignon’s ‘Transformation’
Do you drink Dom, darling? If you’re a lover of all things fizz, then you’ll be pleased to know that Dom Pérignon are presenting their new art installation ‘Transformation‘ between 20th and 23rd October. Transformation will be located on South Molton Street in Mayfair (where else?), where they’re offering 15 minute multi-sensory experiences that will explore the sight, sound and taste of Dom Pérignon. All experiences will start with a tasting of the Dom Pérignon vintage 2006. They’ve also teamed up with Claridges to put on a Dom Pérignon P2 tasting menu. The tasting sessions don’t come cheap (as expected) and start at £120 per person, but if you are interested in booking yourself in, head to their website.

2. London Shuffle Club
Would you believe us if we told you that Shoreditch, London’s home of the super-cool, has just got a whole lot cooler because of shuffling. Yes, shuffling – that game for old people which involves pushing discs. When we gave London Shuffle Club a go, we were surprised to find that, a) the oldies make shuffling look easy (there is a serious trick to the game) and b) it’s possibly home the coolest new venue in East London. Located in a huge warehouse space within the Truman Brewery, London Shuffle Club has been decked out with 8 shuffle lanes, 2 bars, a bike that serves Prosecco on tap, a pizza vendor, live DJ’s and plenty of other retro games. They’re currently taking bookings for lanes up until December, which you can check for availability via the website here.

6. Pillars Brewery Launch Weekend
The newest craft brewery kids on the block, Pillars Brewery, are launching their brand new tap room in hopping great style. Based in the bustling social hub of Ravenswood Industrial Estate in Walthamstow, their tap room opening party will bring DJ’s, live music, food, great vibes and lots of beer to thirsty Londoners. The launch will spread across two days, held on Friday 28th October between 5pm – 11.30pm and Saturday 29th October between 2pm – 11.30pm. What’s more, the party is open to everyone and completely free to enter! Pillars Brewery was founded by four friends, who began to follow their passion for beer in a garden shed (which, by the way, belonged to one of their ever-so-kind mothers). Now they’ve moved away from the shed to a state-of-the-art London brewery to bring the great brewed elixir to the city in its finest form. Join the event on Facebook to find out more here.

7. The Opening of Flat Iron Square
Launching in the heart of Bankside, Flat Iron Square is bringing a fresh line up of foodie vendors, bars and a live music space to six railway arches and the Grade II listed building, Devonshire House. On 20th October, they will be celebrating the official opening of the space, so you can sniff out the area and the new delicious offering. Some of the mouth-watering names include Savage Salads, Portuguese cuisine from Bar Douro, Thai food from Ekachai, Baz & Fred’s stone baked pizzas and Where The Pancakes Are, as well as many, many more. It’s set to be London’s next best foodie hub, so if you can’t make the opening night, we suggest you head over soon!
