Tell me what you want, what you really, really want. I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want… I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really wanna… free Spice Girls cocktail?
Well, fortunately for me, and for you, that’s exactly what’s up for grabs at one of London’s most famous hotels. The St. Pancras London (you know, the hotel in that super-famous building in King’s Cross) is celebrating 30 years since the Spice Girls filmed their ‘Wannabe’ music video in its hallways, with a big ol’ giveaway of free Spice Girls cocktails.
Coinciding with the release of the Spice Girls’ 30th anniversary The Singles Collection on November 6, the free drinks are available now. And they’ll be slinging free drinks until the end of the year.
But you will need a suitably Spice-y password…
30 years since Spice
Some music facts truly make a Secret London writer feel old, and this is one of them: The Spice Girls’ debut album, Spice, came out a whopping 30 years ago. Yup, somehow 30 years have passed since Posh, Baby, Scary, Sporty, and Ginger Spice burst onto the music scene.
Their first single was the immediately catchy ‘Wannabe’. The group filmed a music video for the song that was released at the beginning of 1997. In the video, the group dance around the St. Pancras London hotel and on the sweeping Grand Staircase.
That also means it’s somehow been 29 years since the release of one of the greatest films of all time: ‘Spice World’. The film starred the Spice Girls themselves, naturally, as well as appearances from the likes of Richard E. Grant, Alan Cumming, Elvis Costello, Stephen Fry, Bob Geldof, Jools Holland, Elton John, Hugh Laurie, Meat Loaf, Roger Moore, and many more.
Free Spice Girls cocktails
If you fancy a free Spice Girls cocktail, simply head on over to St. Pancras London’s Booking Office 1869 bar and restaurant. Sidle up to the bar and ask the bartender, “Do you know what I want?” When they reply, “What I really really want!”, you’ll be treated to a complimentary Spice Girl-themed Thirty in Pink cocktail.
The drink features St. Pancras London Gin, ginger syrup, pink peppercorn bitters, elderflower, passion fruit, lemon, English sparkling wine and a touch of sparkle.
So, hurry on down to King’s Cross and celebrate this momentous anniversary with a free drink!
