7 Places to go to Cure a Hangover
Oh hangovers, the body’s way of punishing you for having one too many last night, especially given the older we get the worse they seem to get – which frankly is just unfair. The pounding headaches, the nausea, the worry at what you said the night before and generally hating of the world and life. However we’re here to give you a helping hand, to get you out of bed or off the sofa, with these top seven places to go when you have a hangover and to get you feeling more alive again:
Hawksmoor Guildhall
Sometimes you just need to rid your hangover with a beast of a fry up and when that time arrives you need to go to Hawksmoor Guildhall. Ok, are you ready for this? The full English includes: plum pudding bacon, sausages, black pudding, fried eggs, hash browns, grilled mushrooms, roast tomatoes, trotter baked beans and toast. And if you go for the breakfast to share it includes bone marrow and smoked bacon chop. Hangover-cured.

Paradise By Way Of Kensal Green
You got home in the early hours of Sunday morning, you’ve woken up at lunch time and now you are in search of something comforting. Let us point you in the direction of Paradise by Way of Kensal Green and their roast lunches. Currently on the menu you’ll find pork belly, chicken, beef and lamb as well as a vegetable and feta wellington. The roast potatoes will soon soak up that alcohol.

The Magic Garden
If you can crawl out of your bed then do and get outside, the sun might hurt your eyes but the fresh air will do you a world of good. If you want some sort of halfway stop then go to the Magic Garden pub in Battersea. They have big comfy sofas outside under a tent, so you can curl back up, Bloody Mary in one hand, chips in the other with a slight breeze to wash away your headache.
Where: 231 Battersea Park Rd, London SW11 4LG

IV Me
When you’re in desperate need and aspirin and a bottle of coke won’t suffice then head to IV Me. They’ll give you a shot of the right vitamins and minerals that your body is lacking right to the blood stream which will sort you right out– rather like the shots you were doing the night before, minus the alcohol.

The Great Exhibition Pub
Now you’ve only gone and overdone it last night, schlossed back more alcohol units than humanly possible and now you are a shell of the party animal you were a mere few hours ago. Well why stop now? Someone much wiser than us coined the phrase ‘hair of the dog’ and we are fully on board with it. For only £20 you can keep that hangover a bay with a bottomless brunch at The Great Exhibition Pub where you can pick from either endless Mimosas or Bloody Marys. The price also includes a food option like a Full English (veggie option available) or smaller bites like Eggs Royale or Pancakes.

Sivananda
If you spent the night participating in drunken debauchery better not mentioned in a classy publication like this and are feeling a little sheepish this morning, then get yourself down to a yoga class to sweat out the sin of the evening before. Drop in to a yoga class at Sivananda where you can chill out whilst completing 12 basic postures, participate in breathing exercises and deep relaxation. You’ll leave feeling full of zen and smug after being so productive while your fellow partners in crime are still suffering in bed.
