Go: Grand Union, Wandsworth

In the middle of a busy roundabout in Wandsworth, lies this unlikely and hidden gem. Away from the hustle of Southside shopping centre and the high street, is Grand Union, a pub with its very own Pleasure Garden! A bar built around a tree, complete with swings and £5 cocktails dominates the centre, with beach huts and sheltered seating areas all decorated in cutesy kitsch styles.

Perfect to enjoy the sun, it seemed my friends and I are late to find out about this place as it was heaving with young, pretty and incredibly well made up people! It was ideal for a bridesmaids reunion and lots of gossip over daiquiris in the summer sun.

Go: Coca-Cola Contour Centenary Bar

Friday, 20 March 2015


Happy Birthday Coke bottle! I've always wanted to be one of those girls whose bodies could be described as a Coca Cola bottle, alas I am not so curvaceous...



The Coca-Cola bottle has been around for 100 years, can you believe it? To celebrate, there is a pop up bar down in Soho for a few days only, so get down there to be transported back to 1915...and to drink some free Coke!
















Some of the iconic Coca-Cola advertising from the past 100 years featured on one entire wall.




Who remembers the polar bears? I do!



Coke also asked some of today's best artists and designers to come up with new Coca-Cola images only using the colours black, white and coke red. Above are a couple of new interpretations.


Rita Ora had popped a long to open the centenary bar earlier in the day. Red really is her colour!


There was also a very cool photo booth out back, complete with props, where you can pose away, tweet and print your very own Coca-Cola 100 image. Who have you kissed?

The Coca-Cola Centenary Bar is located at 14 Greek Street, Soho and is open from 11am-8pm today and tomorrow. Go get your free Coke while you can!
