Bingeing on the newest Netflix UK series is all well and good, but when you’ve developed a habit of binging on a series for days of your life, so much so that you can’t remember when you last ate anything that wasn’t snack food, you know you need to get out more. But to save you going cold turkey on your favourite shows, why not incorpcorate them into your social life?
1. The Walking Dead Pub Crawl
This Halloween in Shoreditch, an epidemic of apocalyptic proportions will sweep the streets. This will cause the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months, society will crumble and Rick Grimes will be all alone, with nowhere to run and no place to hide. The only means of survival is the 1 Big Night Out Shoreditch Pub Crawl. Join the walkers and biters of London, as you crawl through the best pubs in East London, picking up free shots and discounted drinks on your way, before ending up at an exclusive club in Shoreditch. It all kicks off at the Translate bar at 7.30pm on Saturday 29th October. Tickets are £15 and can be bought through Fever here.

2. Sherlock Holmes Experience at Madame Tussauds
Marylebone Rd, London NW1 5LR
3. Stranger Things Party and Cocktails
If you’re missing Eleven and the gang, then get ready to descend into the Upside Down world for an evening of award winning cocktails and entertainment from the guys behind one of London’s most prestigious cocktail bars, Trailer Happiness. Join them on either 29th or 31st October for themed cocktails, alongside a screening of Stranger Things, which is followed by an 80s disco ’til late! With DJs spinning 80s classics with a Stranger Things theme, a venue completely decked-out by professional designers and award winning Tiki style cocktails, it will be a party that is sure to be one to remember. It all kicks off at 7pm. Tickets are only £5 and you can buy them here.

4. Stranger Things themed menu at Lucky Chip
We told you earlier this month that Lucky Chip had brought out a Stranger Things menu, complete with the Up Fried Down Burger and Eleven Own Rings. It will run for the rest of October, so make sure you get your fix of Stranger Danger Frie at any of their branches (Camden Assembly, Ridley Road Market in Dalston and The Old Queen’s Head in Islington).
5. ABQ’s Breaking Bad Cocktail RV
Yo b*tch! Get cooking (cocktails, not crystal meth) at the Breaking Bad inspired pop-up. The bar, which is based in an RV in Hackney, launched on a temporary basis back in July 2015 and had 42,000 people fighting over tickets. Now it’s made its permanent home in London. For £30 per person, you’ll get 2 hours of cooking cocktails, as well as a drink ready on arrival. You can head to the website here to check availability and book.
