## TREAT YOURSELF: 



### Anya Hindmarch x Rosewood London 



  

Rosewood London hotel is celebrating its tenth birthday with a series of cool collaborations and events. This week, it’s teamed up with Anya Hindmarch to create packaging and accessories available at the hotel’s famous Pie Room. The space has been decorated with Anya’s signature eye motif, which also features on the pie box packaging. On Friday 13th and Saturday 14th October, guests can buy ‘Pie with Eyes’ keyrings from the hotel lobby, as well as pieces from her ‘Labelled’ collection. You’ll also find a personalisation station to emboss initials or messages onto leather pieces. Visit the ‘Pie Hole’ to tuck into pies filled with chicken, mushroom and tarragon; dauphinoise potatoes and caramelised onions; and sausage rolls.

## SEE A NEW EXHIBITION: 



### God’s Own Junkyard at The Other Art Fair 



  

God’s Own Junkyard is the family run business and light studio that has created signs for places like Ronnie Scott’s and other Soho institutions over the decades. To celebrate its 70th birthday, the neon wonderland will open a light exhibition at Saatchi Art’s The Other Art Fair. The neon artwork will celebrate Soho’s cultural impact across film, fashion and music, with a 1970s-inspired installation. Once you’ve seen the exhibition, browse the pop-up shop to find artwork, vintage light boxes, stage door lights and cinema signs, then have your picture taken in the space by renowned editorial photographer David Ellis.

## MEET THE GIRLS FOR DRINKS: 



### Lyan X 



  

Ryan Chetiyawardana is Mr Lyan – the ground-breaking, taste-making bar owner and mixologist who has redefined London’s cocktail scene and won more awards than you’ve had negronis. To mark ten years since the opening of his first bar, all five Lyan outposts will be showcased at Sea Containers. Various rooms in the hotel will be transformed into bars including Cub, White Lyan, Super Lyan, and Silver Lyan. Even their décor will be recreated, like the mirrored ceiling at Silver Lyan and Cub’s mustard yellow seating. Guests can try each bar’s signature drinks, including the resurrected ‘Pinnacle Point Fizz’ made with Del Maguey mezcal, nixtamalized blue corn, sloe, ginger bitters, sour pineapple and soda. Guests can also sit down to a dining experience in the Cub room, with five dishes and cocktails served during a sitting each evening (£150pp).
