As ever, Southbank Centre has endless activities and performances to book over the festive period. Start at its Winter Market where you’ll find alpine-style chalets serving seasonal street food.

## MEET THE GIRLS: 



### Stanley’s, Chelsea 



  

Stanley’s is one of our favourite spots in Chelsea, so we were pleased to hear the restaurant has opened its winter terrace, complete with a new menu. Guests will find the heated outdoor space behind a festive archway lined with olive trees. Cosy up with the girls to try new dishes like the cheese hot pot served with cured meats, new potatoes and deep-fried brioche buns; ham hock croquettes with English truffle; herb-crusted cod with puy lentils, ’nduja and mussels; and cauliflower schnitzel with black garlic mayo. Save room for a slice of burnt cheesecake with spiced pear.

## TRY A SPECIAL MENU: 



### Florence Knight x Merlin Labron-Johnson at Sessions Arts Club 



  

On Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th November, chef Florence Knight will welcome Green Michelin-starred chef Merlin Labron-Johnson (Bruton’s Osip) for a takeover to celebrate the best produce of the season.
