London


<p>January might have felt like it was 60 days long (largely due to Dry Jan), but now it&#8217;s over we&#8217;re cracking open the bubbly and going out out. Pencil these peppy pop-ups into your calendar for good time boosts to see you through until Spring. </p>

<p>Yaribaaaa! Mexican restaurant Ixhchel on the King&#8217;s Road has launched Tacos with Friends Tuesdays and its first collab is with one of London&#8217;s top plant-based restaurants, Holy Carrot in Notting Hill. If you&#8217;re stretching out Veganuary a little longer, pop in on Tues (<strong>3 &amp; 10 Feb</strong>) and scoff the limited edition grilled oyster mushroom taco, layered with roasted koji mole, and finished with house made pickles showcasing Holy Carrot’s signature ferments.  </p>

<p>For one night only the usually hushed halls of the National Gallery will be shaking when <em>Ru Paul&#8217;s Drag Race</em> icon Bimini Bon-Boulache takes over as part of week-long <a href="https://artoflondon.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Art After Dark</a> festival. It&#8217;ll be the first ever DJ set in the landmark building, allowing party-goers to experience the Sainsbury Wing like they&#8217;ve never done before &#8211; think DJs, dancing and light shows alongside Grand Masters. Tickets are just £5, don&#8217;t delay.</p>

<p>Remember Harry Maguire, winner of <em>MasterChef 2025</em>? Well he&#8217;s teaming up with Jean-Philippe Blondet to create a one-off <a href="https://www.dorchestercollection.com/london/the-dorchester/whats-on/four-hands-dinner-with-masterchef-winner-harry-maguire" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Four Hands</a> dinner at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester. It&#8217;s spenny (£300pp), but when else are you going to sit down to a slap up supper of five seasonal courses prepared for you by two of the world&#8217;s best chefs? Sure beats an M&amp;S ready meal. </p>

<p>You can catch the hottest (and most fun) collab in ages at the designer&#8217;s pop-up store Village Hall in Pont Street, which is full of the must-buy, googly-eyed merch and styled like a retro 70s branch of Boots. There&#8217;s plenty to shop under £10, and the fashion set are already obsessed.

<p>If you love Christian Dior as much as pop star MK, make your way to its latest pop-up in Selfridges on Oxford Street to celebrate Jonathan Anderson&#8217;s first collections for the label. Even if you&#8217;re not going to splash cash on his cute Dior daisy earrings (£430) or blue and white polo shirt (£1,650), it&#8217;s still worth checking out the fancy store display, which takes inspo from the boxes used in the brand&#8217;s first ever Parisian boutique. </p>

<p>An out-of-this-world immersive pop-up at Battersea Power Station takes you on a journey through space inside a massive spherical dome with a 360-degree screen. Short films (around 30 minutes), storytelling and cool visuals make this a great option on a damp Feb day, particularly when half term&#8217;s looming (just saying). Tickets from £15. </p>
