SLMan has you covered. From a new city sauna to the Tortilla Slap Championships, here’s what to get stuck into… Image: Drip Sauna ## Grab Some R&R ### Drip Sauna If you’re in need of a reset, Drip is the winter wellness spot worth knowing. Set on Battersea’s Coaling Jetty, its three Scandinavian-style saunas overlook the Thames and the Power Station. The cabins are classic après-ski – clean lines, soft wood, big windows – and there’s room for seven (turn up at the right time and you might score one to yourself). Each has a stash of essential oils for adding a hit of eucalyptus or lavender to the coals. When you’re done sweating it out, brace for the plunge pools – a brisk 4°C – or cool off outside. *Coaling Jetty, Battersea Power Station, SW11 8AX* Visit [DripSauna.co.uk](http://dripsauna.co.uk) [ ![Drip Sauna](https://media.slman.com/OGBJAnL1kZox5JRpiZ9Sn55yroY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-drip-event.jpg) ](http://dripsauna.co.uk) Drip Sauna ## Bring The Boys ### Tortilla Slap Championships Ridiculous? Yes. Entertaining? Also yes. The Tortilla Slap Championships return for their second year, pitting 32 competitors against one another in a strictly governed battle of tortilla-based combat. Each challenger must hold water in their mouth as they receive their slap; scoring is based on ‘satisfying smack’, ‘spray distance’, ‘tortilla integrity’ and ‘reaction’. Expect the full spectacle: free tacos and margaritas for spectators, a live mariachi band, and high-flying Lucha Libre wrestlers defying physics for your amusement. There’s even a grand prize – a year’s supply of tacos and margaritas – if you fancy entering the contest yourself. *Market Place Vauxhall, 7 South Lambeth Place, Vauxhall, SW8 1SP; Saturday 29th November* Visit [EventBrite.co.uk](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-tortilla-slap-championship-is-back-tickets-1964871853607) ## Buy Some Art ### Jorge Monedero Studio Sale Photographer Jorge Monedero is opening his Hackney Wick studio for a three-day sale featuring pieces from his celebrated series *Unconditionally, I Love You*, plus a new run of photo etchings.
