The menu features classic cheeseburgers and double beef patty burgers topped with extras like American cheese, fresh green chillies and pickled jalapeños, as well sides like garlic mayo cheese fries and tater tots. Wash it down with craft beer, or treat yourself to a mega milkshake made with biscuits like Jammie Dodgers. *77 Upper Street, Islington, N1 0NU* Visit [Sessions.co.uk ](https://sessions.co.uk/venues/islington) [ ![](https://media.slman.com/4Jdt590yTeXpd_ElPkA1hPtVoyU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2022%2F11%2Fdavid-shrigley-mainly-multiples-some-paintings-other-stuff-too-photography-simon-kallas-image.jpg) ](https://hanguppictures.com/exhibitions/david-shrigley-mainly-multiples-some-paintings-and-other-stuff-too) ## GET YOUR CULTURE FIX ### David Shrigley Exhibition British artist David Shrigley has made his name with bright prints showcasing his dry sense of humour. Whether it’s an animal with a satirical caption or a self-portrait that says something about the modern world, his artwork has universal appeal. Shrigley has just opened a standalone exhibition at Hoxton’s Hang-Up Gallery featuring 30 works. As well as his most famous prints, including the ‘Stop Panicking’ pink swan, it includes limited-edition art, ceramics and posters. A great way to inject some personality into your home. *10D Branch Place, Hoxton, N1 5PH;* Visit [HangUpPictures.com](https://hanguppictures.com/exhibitions/david-shrigley-mainly-multiples-some-paintings-and-other-stuff-too) [ ![](https://media.slman.com/53Xc8WE7gUYAzRVWzyOctUmqYnI=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2022%2F11%2Fthecolonelsarmsview02entrance71.jpg) ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-colonels-arms-tickets-461714659977) ## MEET YOUR MATES ### The Colonel’s Arms Fried chicken fans, this one’s for you. KFC is opening its first ever pub in Hammersmith on Friday. Open for a week, The Colonel’s Arms has been decked out with KFC-inspired installations (think chicken drumstick wallpaper and pops of red and white throughout) and huge TV screens where you can watch World Cup matches. Diners can ring the ‘chicken bell’ to have meals delivered straight to the table, then order unlimited gravy and beers from the bar – we like the sound of the ‘Peck Pilsner’. Book a table at the link below or wing it with one of the walk-in spots. *80 Fulham Palace Road, Hammersmith, W6 9PL* Visit [Eventbrite.com ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-colonels-arms-tickets-461714659977) [ ![](https://media.slman.com/bC22I9b9ODVNS3kB-MBnHATLIFE=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2022%2F11%2Fstudiorhe-thirdspacegym.jpg) ](https://www.thirdspace.london/Moorgate/) ## HIT THE GYM ### Third Space, Moorgate We rate Third Space for its slick clubs and state-of-the-art equipment, so we were pleased to hear it’s opened a new gym in Moorgate.

To celebrate the World Cup, the bar has installed a retro football shirt exhibition featuring the tournament’s best shirts from the last 30 years, all updated with booze-based puns. The bar is screening every match of the tournament, so book ahead to get a table for your mates, then stay for crispy buttermilk fried chicken burgers and beers. DJs set the vibe every Friday night with hip-hop and R’n’B, while Saturdays means early 2000s bangers. *163 Upper Street, Islington, N1 1US* Visit [Valderramas.co.uk](https://valderramas.co.uk/) [ ![](https://media.slman.com/lhxSoW-EzpC0pp3zc7bIpvnBHtU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2022%2F11%2F791891-preview.jpg) ](https://thebox-london.com/) ## UPDATE YOUR WARDROBE ### Paul Smith Sample Sale The Box in Hackney regularly hosts some of the best sample sales and menswear pop-ups in the capital.

Created in partnership with the Mandela family, it focuses on his activism in 1960s South Africa, as he rallies the people of his country to protest against the racial segregation of apartheid. In 1962 he is arrested and sentenced to life in prison, where he will spend the next 27 years, taken from his wife and children as a fight for freedom sweeps his country. It’s the story of one man who changed the course of modern history, and the sacrifices he made as a husband and father.
