Somerset House's sleek new riverside terrace

1 week ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

We’re throwing a party. Not the sort with tiny canapés and awkward small talk. No. Rather, the sort that previews the all-new riverside terraces of 18th century neoclassical palaces run by a wildly talented team on the bleeding edge of London’s bar & restaurant scene, with complimentary welcome cocktails (yes, plural) plus 50% off food & drink all night, too. That kind of party.

Bees & Botanicals: A Spring Banquet With Silent Pool Gin

3 weeks ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

We’re hosting a supper club to celebrate spring in all its sun-dappled optimism and honey-soaked glory. Plus the fact that it makes a great excuse for cocktails. So to that end, it’s going to involve a lot of absolutely first-class gin, plus soulful live music, lush surroundings, and an absolute feast. It’s called Bees & Botanicals: A Spring Banquet With Silent Pool Gin, and it’s happening on Wednesday 7th May, in the leafy oasis that is Clifton Nurseries.
Cannabis: An Evening of Mythbusting

4 weeks ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

Cannabis has always been a topic rich with myths, misconceptions, and deeply held beliefs that wouldn’t survive a six-second google search. But how much of what we think we know about it is actually true?
A sleek infrared sauna in West London

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

SweatLounge is the only exclusive infrared sauna studio in the country – and just to shed a little radiant light on what that actually means, it’s basically a sleek, high-tech alternative to traditional saunas that allows you to detox and destress, while leaving you feeling like a human rather than a boiled lobster. Not such a terrible idea, to be honest.
An opulent immersive experience in South London

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

58th Street | Partner ContentBack in the late 1930s, Belle Livingstone’s 58th Street Country Club was probably the best place to be in the whole of Prohibition America. It was a very real champagne-drenched speakeasy where New York’s most glamorous residents – flappers, Broadway darlings, gangsters, heiresses gone rogue, and the occasional off-duty cop – gathered to revel in the illicit thrill of the Jazz Age.
An upcoming restaurant at V&A East

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

The V&A East may not be cutting the ribbon for another year, but we’re already pretty sure what its greatest exhibit will be. You see, Ravinder Bhogal, the genre-defying chef behind Jikoni in Marylebone, is set to open a restaurant & cafe there with her business partner Nadeem Lalani Nanjuwany.
Race Across the World: The Experience

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

Depending on engineering works, it can feel like it takes roughly the same amount of time to get from one end of London to the other as it does to make your way across some continents. So, setting a Race Across The World-style experience here in the capital feels like a brilliantly frustrating idea – and that’s exactly what’s happening.
Secret Restaurant

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

The Fat Badger is a rare thing: a secret you’ll want to keep, but probably won’t. It’s a verrrry under-the-radar new bar & restaurant in Notting Hill, and you’ll find it just above Canteen – and find it you shall have to, because there is no website, no social media page. And when you do arrive at the address, there’s no sign either, nor even a velvet rope or surly doorman with a clipboard. There’s just a small picture of a badger (who, it should be noted, isn’t even conspicuously overweight).
