What to do This Weekend: 16th – 18th February
The sun’s out and the weekend is nigh. Here’s some ideas for things you might like to be doing come 6pm tomorrow. We don’t know about you, but it can’t come soon enough…
STK London
Love Sucks Brunch
Cupid rhymes with stupid and love sucks…is what you might say after Valentine’s Day (obviously some of you will be smitten this morning) and if it is, then put yesterday behind you and head to the Love Sucks brunch at STK London. There’ll be bottomless American style pancakes, steak, duck egg and chips and waffle and southern fried chicken with maple syrup and BBQ mayo, so you can eat your feelings. Drown your sorrows or raise a toast to the single life with cocktails and then dance the afternoon away as you watch performances from Miss Polly Rae. Hating love doesn’t seem too bad.

Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill
Darkest Hour Cocktail
If you haven’t been to see Darkest Hour yet, then you need to. It’s excellent. Then afterwards you need to head to The Churchill Bar at the Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill for drinks. In particular you need to try the Darkest Hour cocktail, it’s a twist on the Manhattan which rumour has it, was linked to Churchill’s family. The drink is finished off with two drops of the bar’s bespoke Churchill War Room bitters, for an extra touch.
