## BOOK AHEAD

Bao Fitzrovia is hosting a second series of U Bartend with Toki Whiskey in which bartenders from some of the world’s most creative bars will take over Bao’s bar for one night only. The next one takes place on Tuesday 13th September when Kaito del Valle from Mexico City will bring its Japanese-inspired cocktails to London – expect highballs made with sake and other Japanese ingredients. On Tuesday 18th October, there’s a takeover from Mexican bar Lucy’s Flower Shop, before Roman bar Drink Kong heads to Fitzrovia on Tuesday 15th November. Tickets cost £20pp which includes two cocktails and the evening’s bespoke Bao bun, with the option to order more food and drink from the menu.

## PRE-ORDER TICKETS 

### Lift 109 At Battersea Power Station 

  

 

We’re excited to see the next part of Battersea Power Station’s transformation – which includes new shops, restaurants and apartments inside the Grade II-listed building. If you want to be one of the first to step inside, you can now register for tickets for Lift 109. Set to open later this autumn, Lift 109 combines an immersive exhibition space in the art-deco Turbine Hall with a glass elevator that takes you to the top of the building’s north-west chimney – 109m above ground. From there, you’ll get panoramic views of the city. Register at the link below to be one of the first to experience it.

*Circus Road West, Nine Elms, SW8 5BN*

## LET LOOSE 

### The Blues Kitchen 

  

 

The Blues Kitchen has just released an autumn/winter line-up that’s packed with live music events, DJ nights and a new menu. Between its sites in Brixton, Shoreditch, Camden and Manchester, there’s something on every night of the week. On Saturday 10th September in Brixton, there’s a music quiz brunch in the afternoon followed by live jazz music and a DJ set until 3am, while its Camden outpost hosts a ‘Camden Got Soul’ music night every Friday. That new menu features American diner-style dishes, plus 50% off burgers on Sundays at the Manchester site. Don’t forget to take a look at the 80-strong list of world whiskies.

## TRY A NEW WORKOUT 

### Rowbots 

  

 

The brainchild of Gareth Bale and team GB powerlifting champion Hendrick Famutimi, the Rowbots workout is for those looking for an athlete-worthy session. In addition to its signature rowing machine workouts, the gym is launching two new classes this weekend. Tomorrow, head to Rowbots City or Rowbots Fitzrovia to try a 50-minute ‘Energy Strength’ class which includes strength training exercises with weights to help increase stamina and flexibility. From Friday 9th September, there’s also the new ‘Capacity’ conditioning class at Rowbots City, designed to push you to the max so you can train harder and faster. One class credit costs £22, or memberships starts from £130 a month.

## WATCH THIS NEW DOC 

### Phoenix From the Ashes 

  

 

England cricket captain Ben Stokes has had his fair share of negative press over the years. After he was dropped from his lucrative New Balance contract back in 2017 following a street brawl, he was charged with bringing cricket into disrepute by the England and Wales Cricket Board. This new Amazon Prime doc charts his successes on the field and his controversies at home across a series of interviews. It also captures Ben’s most personal and challenging moments, including the final visit to see his terminally ill father, and his struggles with his own mental health.
