## INDULGE YOUR SWEET TOOTH HERE: The Chocolate Cocktail Club 

After two sold-out stints in London and Brighton, this chocolate-focused pop-up has returned to Brick Lane. Running until 28th May, the sweet experience is open Wednesday to Sundays each week. As well as date nights and evenings out with the girls, birthday parties and hen-dos can all be hosted in this dark, atmospheric space. Expect a mouth-watering drinks menu filled with coco twists on classic cocktails, including its signature, secretive ‘Chocolate Chocotini’. The bar also serves chocolate beer and chocolate wine, plus bottled beer and prosecco for these without a sweet tooth. Tickets are best bought in advance and include 90 minutes in the bar, plus a cocktail.

202 Brick Lane, Shoreditch, E1 6SA; every Wednesday-Sunday until 28th May

## SCARE YOURSELF HERE: Temple Cinema  
 

Five-star east London hotel Andaz London Liverpool Street has teamed up with East End Film Festival to host Temple Cinema, a series of monthly film screenings held in the hotel’s Masonic Temple from now until the end of 2019. The screenings will focus on the dark art of horror filmmaking, from old-school classics to contemporary productions. The Masonic Temple is one of London’s most eerie, atmospheric and secret spaces, providing the perfect setting for an evening of chills and thrills. After screening *Hereditary* in March, next up is the original version of *The Omen* on 25th April, Nicholas Cage gore-fest *Mandy* on 30th May and *The Shining* on 27th June.

## SOLVE A MYSTERY HERE: The Murdér Express: Jewel of the Empire

   
The Murdér Express invites you to travel back in time to 1937 to the southern French town of Murdér to solve the mysterious disappearance of the world’s largest cut diamond, the ‘Jewel of the Empire’. After a successful second run of The Murdér Express last year, immersive dining experts Funicular has created a whole new adventure set on the capital’s most crime-ridden train – and this time everyone’s a suspect. As passengers embark on their journey they’ll be served a four-course meal from *MasterChef: The Professionals* 2018 champion Laurence Henry, before being immersed in the mystery. Could you be the thief?

## HAVE DINNER WITH A VIEW HERE: London In The Sky

   
Now in its ninth year, London in the Sky has visited some of London’s most recognisable locations, including the Southbank, Tower Bridge and the prestigious Chelsea College of Arts. This summer, the open-air restaurant concept lands at The O2. Bringing daring diners a unique experience, the team will suspend ‘sky tables’ 100ft above the ground offering unparalleled views of the capital’s skyline. Guests at the 22-seat tables will enjoy a range of menus from the Social Pantry on one of eight flights a day, including breakfast, brunch, prosecco and cake, lunch, cocktails and dinner, alongside a calendar of yet-to-be-announced special events. Every dish will be prepared and served in front of guests, as they take in landmarks including The O2, Canary Wharf and the Thames.

## LEARN THE ART OF SEDUCTION HERE: The Floating World

   
During Japan's Edo period (1615–1868) the phrase ‘the floating world’ evoked an imagined universe of wit, stylishness, and extravagance – with overtones of naughtiness, hedonism and transgression. This is the basis for this new pop-up from Takayo, who has recreated a mysterious teahouse in the twisting alleys of an ancient red light district. In the 'Floating World’, guests will become one of the characters in a hedonistic story. To immerse guests in their role, they’ll be dressed in full kimono attire before being seated for a traditional Japanese meal. The team will then reveal the beauty, humour and passion of ‘shunga’ – the celebrated erotic art of Japan. Learn its rituals, hear its secrets, and, perhaps, pick up a few tips on the art of seduction.

## EAT AMAZING NEPALESE FOOD HERE: KityCow at Hush Mayfair

   
Hush Mayfair is playing host to a Nepalese pop-up until the end of April. KityCow is the brainchild of Joe Allen and Aaron Thomas. The duo appeared on this year’s series of Million Pound Menu as XXVl but failed to gain investment from judges Jamie Barber and Atul Kochar. Persisting with their mission, the pair invited them to try their Indo-Nepalese cuisine for a second time and an impressed Barber offered them the chance to showcase KityCow on the first floor of Hush. The pop-up looks across the cherry blossom-filled courtyard of Lancashire Court and serves modern takes on traditional Nepalese dishes, such as pani puri; nimki crackers and coriander yoghurt; and momo dumplings topped with truffle. Make sure to order a Nepalese negroni to start and the cold rice pudding with pistachio ice-cream to finish.  
   
*8 Lancashire Court, Brook Street, Mayfair, W1S 1EY; until 30th April*

## CELEBRATE GoT’S RETURN HERE: Dinner Is Coming

   
‘Dinner Is Coming’ is a new immersive spoof dining experience inspired by hit fantasy drama *Game of Thrones*. Coinciding with the return of the series, the evening will blend a feast of indulgent food with theatre, comedy and an unhealthy dose of murder. Hosted in the underground tunnels of The Vaults, guests will be treated to a feast fit for the Seven Kingdoms as well as specially designed drinks menu as the night celebrates the marriage between the heir to the Several Kingdoms, Jaffrey Bearathon, and Margarine, the beautiful daughter of the noble Trywell Family. A truly immersive event, guests are encouraged to dress in accordance to their chosen house, whether a richly decorated lord or lady, an armoured warrior or a rag-wearing peasant. A must for *GoT* fans.

## SEE A SCREENING IN STYLE HERE: Bombay Talkies

   
Bombay Bustle is taking guests to the movies with ‘Bombay Talkies’. Inspired by the original Bombay Talkies, the film studio which revolutionised cinema in Mumbai in the 1930s, the subterranean bar of the Maddox Street restaurant will be transformed into a pop-up cinema for a series of film screenings throughout the first half of April. Instead of tucking into popcorn, the films can be enjoyed alongside a glass of Laurent Perrier champagne, canapés and a three-course dinner created by executive chef Surender Mohan. The finale takes place on 15th April, with a screening of Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 romantic drama *Call Me By Your Name*.
