The next Winter Olympics isn’t until 2026 in Milan, so there’s still time to earn your place on Team GB. Or maybe the Curling Club will be a salutary lesson in how difficult the sport really is. There’s only one way to find out. Its first pop-up rink has already returned to Southbank for the winter season, with a new Vinegar Yard spot opening on 1st November. While there won’t be real ice in the pop-ups, there will be a chance to try the sport alongside a selection of seasonal and alpine food, and plenty of drinks to warm you up.

Southbank: Under Hungerford Bridge, Belvedere Road, Waterloo, SE1 8XX; Vinegar Yard: 72-82 St Thomas Street, London Bridge, SE1 3QX; until February 2025
