4. Darkfield at King’s Cross
mmersive theatre concept DARKFIELD is coming to King’s Cross. The shows take place inside shipping containers and in complete darkness, using headphones and binaural 360-degree sound to immerse you in the story. DARKFIELD is actually made up of three individual shows and they’ll all be running daily in Lewis Cubitt Square. COMA aims to blur the barriers between being awake and asleep, and involves the audience lying down and slipping into a collective dream. SÉANCE explores the idea of group psychology by transforming the container into a Victorian séance room and challenging the audience’s perception of reality. FLIGHT, resembling an economy cabin, takes you on an unsettling trip by focusing on the more perilous aspects of flying.

7. See & Juliet
You all know Shakespeare’s version of Romeo & Juliet but this musical, featuring pop classics like ‘Baby One More Time’ and ‘Can’t Feel My Face’, reimagines the story, flipping her ending into her beginning. In & Juliet, she doesn’t take a dagger to the heart after she wakes up, instead she grabs her mates and goes on a trip to the city of lights and discovers that there is life after Romeo.

8. Millionaire’s Short Rib Burger at Filthy Buns
This is your last chance to try this monster spesh from Filthy Buns. The burger is made up of a 45-day, dry aged beef patty, topped with beer braised short rib, Swiss cheese, smoky gravy mayo and smothered in loads of Biscoff biscuit spread. If that doesn’t sound enough the burgers even topped with a Lotus Biscoff biscuit – we’d leave the tight belts at home for this one. Pair it with their Filthy Millionaire fries and you are in for a sweet and savoury treat. If like us you’re guilty of eating Biscoff straight out of the jar then this burger is for you.

10. Eat at The Connaught Grill
It’s not often that a London restaurant comes back from the dead but legendary Connaught Grill is set to do just that. Open at The Connaught Hotel from 1955 to 2000, The Connaught Grill was an old school celeb haunt that served up old school French cuisine, and now it’s back at the Mayfair hotel albeit with an updated offering. Times have changed so this Connaught Grill is a much more contemporary affair, with Jean-Georges Vongerichten taking charge of the food here, as well as his eponymous restaurant in the hotel. There’s a wood burning grill and rotisserie offering up everything from langoustines and Dover sole to British game and seasonal vegetables. There will however be the odd homage to the old school classics, including the ‘oeuf en surprise’ which Jean-Georges himself remembers eating on his first visit here back in the day, a pie of the day menu, a Sunday roast carved on a trolley and desserts like baked Alaska and sticky toffee pudding
