The Weekend Cometh, What To Do 26th – 28th October
Yes, dear friends, we once again approach an impending weekend and need to find fun activities with which to fill it. So, as ever, we’ve been scurrying around to find suitable suggestions. Here are some ideas…
Londrino
There’s something fishy going on at Handbook fave Londrino. The Southwark restaurant are putting on a their Sunday lunch which promises to be a seafood delight. Marisco’s Sunday (marisco is Portuguese for ‘shellfish’) will focus on dishes from and around the sea from noon until 3pm every Sunday between now and Christmas. As well as a fish-focused a la carte menu, there’s also the option of a carefully curated three-courser. So don’t be shellfish, head to Londrino.

Wicked At The Apollo Victoria Theatre
Fancy a wicked night out? Well there’s a West End musical that’s right up your street. Broomsticks at the ready as one of London’s longest running musicals, Wicked, has teamed up with Super Break for the ultimate night out. After spending an evening at the theatre, laughing, crying and generally just riding out the emotional rollercoaster that is Wicked, you can use the Super Break package to recover in a London hotel.

Press Coffee
Brunch lovers listen up, there’s a new brunch in town and you need to check it out. Launched by Press Coffee at Market Hall Fulham the menu includes: pancakes with berries, mascarpone and maple syrup; Bircher muesli and special sourdough topped with creamy burrata, bresaola, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes and Sicilian olives dust (we highly recommend this one). Decorated with edible flowers it’s one of the prettiest brunches we’ve come across and with prices at around £7.50 it’s also one of the best value. Wash it down with one of their coffees and a green juice and pick up one of their pastries to take with you.
Where: 472 Fulham Road, Fulham, SW6 1B
