SLMan has you covered. From a multivenue music festival to a pub with pizza, here’s what to get stuck into… Image: @CrispPizzaW6 ## Grab The Boys ### The Marlborough PSA: Crisp Pizza has left Hammersmith and relocated somewhere more central. If you find yourself craving their cult New York-style pies (you’re not alone), you’ll now find them slinging slices at the Marlborough in Mayfair. Part of the Devonshire’s pub supergroup, this two-floor Grade II-listed spot is home to a proper boozer upstairs with a speakeasy-style pizzeria below. Expect thin, loaded pizzas, Guinness on tap and – if the Devonshire is anything to go by – a buzzy crowd. *24 North Audley Street, Mayfair, W1K 6WD* Follow [@TheMarlboroughMayfair](https://www.instagram.com/themarlboroughmayfair/?hl=en-gb) [ ![The Marlborough](https://media.slman.com/7K_QQFyJPmsoMgPNe3LxqAQQV9Y=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-credit-crisppizzaw6.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/themarlboroughmayfair/?hl=en-gb) The Marlborough @crisppizzaw6 ## Catch Some Live Music ### EFG London Jazz Festival The capital’s biggest jazz celebration is back.

Founded by master perfumer Euan McCall, Jorum Studio is known for unique scents like Pony Boy (notes of rhubarb and beetroot) and Trimerous (green and earthy notes). The store showcases the full collection alongside Scottish craft pieces and minimalist furniture from brands like Sofie Østerby.

Part immersive show, part sci-fi comedy, this new adaptation of Douglas Adams’s classic kicks off in a pub – pint in hand – before launching you into deep space. You’ll follow Arthur Dent and co. on a galaxy-hopping mission involving Vogons, paranoid androids and a group of inter-dimensional mice trying to reboot earth. *101 Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, W6 9BN; 15th November-15th February 2026* Visit [RiversideStudios.co.uk](https://riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-185234/) [ ![The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Riverside Studios](https://media.slman.com/iFJ1Buh8y7lXLCVbZZ-JX2-dLlQ=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-at-riverside-studios.jpg) ](https://riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-185234/) The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Riverside Studios ## Plus, Our Staples Here’s where we spotlight some of London’s tried-and-tested hangouts.
