What To Do This Weekend 12.06.24

Have you got nostalgia for ‘90s house parties? Us too. Soho has a new spot you’ll want to know about: a new nightlife concept by Stormzy and Cream Group (Cirque le Soir, Reign, The Windmill). Spread across seven unique floors, each designed to mimic a different room in a house, the venue offers immersive experiences with actors, performers and interactive elements, as well as a cool drinks menu, and New York-style pizzas, available by the slice or whole. Unlike typical West End clubs and bars, it doesn't take itself too seriously, so you can expect karaoke, beer pong, and vintage video games on offer, too.

This trendy new spot in Marylebone pays homage to New York’s iconic pizza scene, featuring a cosy dining space with glazed subway tiles, gingham tablecloths, exposed brick walls and pizza stands perfect for stacking and sharing. Alley Cats has now announced an exciting collaboration with the viral butter brand All Things Butter, founded by chef Thomas Straker. Available until June 30th, the burnt red chilli butter will be used in a new, limited-edition starter – the All Things Butter x Alley Cats Dough Balls. Follow up with one of the crispy 14-inch pizzas, topped with classic combinations like slow-cooked vodka-infused tomato sauce.

22 Paddington Street, Marylebone, W1U 5QY; until 30th June.

Can't decide between Indian or French food? Kicking off on Wednesday, June 12th, Frank’s Bar beneath Maison François will team up with Soho’s Kricket to offer guests a unique blend of Indian dishes with a French twist. The menu puts a creative spin on classic Maison François dishes, such as beef tartare with coconut podi and black sesame nimiki; oysters with tomato rasam and fig leaf; mutton baida roti with confit garlic and anchovy raita; and grilled squid with Goan sausage butter and black pepper coconut vinegar. Tickets are available for £65 on Maison François’ website and include the set sharing menu along with a welcome cocktail.

The Euros kicks off this weekend and the energy is palpable. This Sunday, the Lions will face Serbia, who were in good form in a friendly against Sweden last week. Known for going viral for its crowd celebrations in previous years, Clapham Grand will show all England matches on its 24ft screens. You can book seats, or go large and get a royal box, but if you can only nab a standing ticket, the free beer will soften the blow. After 2021’s nail-biting conclusion – concluding in penalties against Italy – it may be Gareth Southgate’s last chance to bring home a win for his England team. 

21-25, St John's Hill, Clapham, SW11 1TT
