EAT: Dabbous
Be fashionably early for once and head to the opening night of highly anticipated restaurant Dabbous. As the love-child of Ollie Dabbous (previously of Michelin-starred Texture) and mixologist Oskar Kinberg (of Cuckoo Club) you’ll want to get in there quick. They’ll be serving Mod-European “elegant yet restrained” cuisine in similarly minimal surroundings – think exposed brickwork and metal – from the first-floor restaurant, while the basement bar offers quirky cocktails. We’ll go for Unnamed #1, please.

PARTY: The Drift Bar
Since the release of The Iron Lady, bars have gone all retro, harking back to the days of big hair and shoulder pads. Stepping back in a blaze of glory, Drift Bar has launched a sizzling menu of flambé favourites: Beef Stroganoff, Steak Diane and Scampi Mornay followed by Crêpe Suzette or Banana Flambé. Dishes are prepared at your table alongside specially paired cocktails, including the Blood Orange Blazer (yes there’s fire involved!). That’s one way to brighten up the dreary January nights.

PARTY: The Impudent Muse
Think early Chanel and The Great Gatsby for Die Freche Muse’s latest event, a 1920s Berlin speakeasy. Held in member’s club Adam Street, the private world of exotic dancers and golden-age jazz will offer an experience which is part-high end bordello, part-speakeasy. It’s all rather sophisticated darling so don your flapper dress or dickie bow for a night of hedonistic delights. Book or RSVP here

SLEEP: The Soho Sleepover
Already drinking and dining at this Soho institution? Now it's time to test the beds. Less popcorn and pillow fights, and more Egyptian cotton sheets is what Dean Street Townhouse has to offer. Dine after 11pm in their restaurant and they’ll offer you the chance to bag one of their luxurious, individually designed rooms for £50 (and receive a Morning After Kit which includes deodorant, Cowshed products and priority breakfast booking).

SHOP: NoBrow
NoBrow goes highbrow with their 'This Is Not A Pop Up' concession at the Hayward Gallery shop. Peruse the illustrated books, collectable art objects and limited-edition prints all hand picked by the independent publishing and design team. Showcasing work by upcoming designers such as Belgian illustrator Jan Van Der Veken, there will be a limited number of signed first editions on sale so head down early to nab yourself a future classic.

CINEMA: The Lounge
Reclining leather seats, on screen entertainment, gourmet food at the mere touch of a button. No it’s not Virgin Upper to NYC – The Lounge at Whiteleys Odeon has gone luxe, offering a ‘Finger, Fork and Spoon’ menu from chef Rowley Leigh (of British brasserie Le Café Anglais) for the ultimate cinema experience. Go retro with a hot dog, popcorn and ice cream soda, or experiment with salsify fritters and aioli. Over 18’s only so no fear of screaming kids.
