| | Friday | |  |  |  | | | EAT: | | VISIT: | | Bubbledogs at Swingers | | Christopher Kane Pop Up Shop | | | With Patty&Bun, Hoppers and Pizza Pilgrims already housed there, the food offering at Swingers was already enough to persuade us into a round of crazy golf. But as of this week, Bubbledogs’ gourmet hot dogs join the line-up – with some new golf-themed additions like the Happy Gilmore (baby gem lettuce, bourbon-caramelized onions, horseradish ketchup, cheddar cheese). Club in one hand, hot dog in the other.
| | We’re a big fan of a lunchtime visit to Christopher Kane’s Mount Street flagship (along with Roksanda, Nicholas Kirkwood and Sophia Webster), and now we have an extra excuse to visit because he’s just opened a pop-up shop around the corner on Old Bond Street with the big guns. The best part? You don’t even have to rush, because it’s going to stay open until the end of the year.

| | Saturday | |  | |  | | | SHOP: | | DANCE: | | Haeckels at Hostem | | DJ Harvey at Ministry of Sound | | | A new season calls for a new skincare regime, and Hostem have got just the thing. Alongside their spring offering from Rick Owens, Raf Simons and COMME des GARÇONS, they’ve just launched a new in-house dispensary with Haeckels, who offer a range of grooming products based on hand-harvested seaweed.
| | DJ Harvey needs no introduction – he’s everywhere right now. After a night with Seth Troxler at the EDITION over MMW and Guy Gerber for a sold out Rumours in LA last weekend, he’s making his way to London for a night at Ministry. If you’ve never seen him before, you can expect an utterly danceable blend of disco, garage and house. If you have seen him before, you know to expect an incredible night.

| | Sunday | |  | |  | | | TRY: | | BOOK: | | Brunch at Sea Containers | | A Class at BLOK | | | If you’ve been looking for an excuse to visit the Mondrian’s unique Sea Containers restaurant, this is it. They’ve just launched a new brunch menu that focuses on the building’s trans-Atlantic history, fusing British ingredients and classic American dishes. Buttermilk waffles, crab omelette, reubens and boozy hard shakes galore, all with those covetable riverside views.
| | If you’re into fitness, chances are that insanely aesthetically pleasing new gym BLOK is already on your radar. Housed in a former Victorian tram depot in Clapton, it definitely wins the award for the best looking gym in London. But it’s not just a pretty face. From the classic to the out there, their range of classes is just as impressive as the interior.
