Another week in London. Another jam-packed list of trending things to see and do. If you’re looking for a fun experience in the city this August, you’ve come to the right place. This time, we’re looking forward to trying out the new food market at Battersea Power Station, being locked up inside London Bridge’s latest immersive bar, dancing around the Painted Hall at one of the coolest cultural lates around, and so much more. For even more events and activities, don’t forget to download Bindy Street today and enjoy all the recommendations we have to offer!
1. Slammers Bar, London Bridge
If being handcuffed to a table sounds like your idea of a good time, then here’s a one-of-a-kind experience you may just enjoy. At Slammers Bar, the new bar with a twist tucked away under London Bridge, you’ll find yourself locked away as you’re watched over by prison wardens and served criminally tasty cocktails like Jail Bird, Old Smokey, Wham Wham, and their signature The Slammer. As if that weren’t enough already, you’ll even come across prison-themed disco balls and plenty of funky tunes to make your jail sentence a little bit easier - enjoy life behind bars!
Location: Slammers Bar, 3 Tooley Street, London SE1 2PR
2. Pottery Café, Fulham
Whether a stick figure is your go-to doodle or your artistic skills are more Michelangelo than five-year-old, you’ll adore expressing your creativity at Fulham’s very own Pottery Café. Making for an adorable date idea, book a spot at the café to pick out an item of your choice (we opted for their cute plates and mugs) and get stuck in! As you paint away, you’ll even be able to order cosy cups of coffee or tea from the café, the perfect accompaniment to an already therapeutic experience.
Location: Pottery Café, 735 Fulham Road, London SW6 5UL
3. Arcade Food Hall, Battersea
If food is involved, we’re there - and Battersea Power Station’s new food hall is no exception. The second food hall from Arcade (you’ll find their first location on Tottenham Court Road), this new foodie spot features mouth-watering cuisines from across the globe. Tuck into Siu Siu’s Cantonese comfort food, feast your eyes on Phed Power’s Thai stir fries, cool down with Leccami Gelato creamy scoops, or explore other delicious international dishes. Once you've made your choice, you’ll find more than enough seating areas scattered across Arcade’s two bars, three restaurants, and private dining room.
Location: Arcade Food Hall & Bar Battersea Power Station, 1st Floor, Boiler House, Battersea Power Station, 330 The Power Station, Circus Road S, London SW11 8DD

4. Bridgerton Late, Old Royal Naval College
We may be in the middle of a cost of living crisis, but that doesn’t mean you can’t feel like royalty once in a while. Give yourself a well deserved break by purchasing tickets for the Old Royal Naval College’s spectacular Bridgerton Late. You’ll feel like the diamond of the season as you learn how to dance around the jaw-dropping Painted Hall, sip on themed cocktails, listen to a delightful string quartet play pop classics, or go on an in-depth tour showcasing some of the iconic locations featured in the Netflix show. We’ve heard from Lady Whistledown herself that the finest Londoners in the land will be flocking to this event, so get your tickets swiftly and be prepared to embrace the extravagance.
Location: Old Royal Naval College, University of Greenwich, London SE10 9NN
5. IFS Cloud Cable Car
Want to see London’s skyline for less? For spectacular views of the city, you needn’t spend too much money as the IFS Cloud Cable car will cost you less than £10 a journey! Taking you 90 metres above the River Thames, you’ll be safely tucked inside a comfortable cable car and have the opportunity to spot some of the city’s iconic landmarks, including the Old Royal Naval College, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, The Gherkin, and even the stunning St Paul’s Cathedral. To make your experience that extra bit special, you’re allowed to take a picnic and non-alcoholic drinks onboard, giving you the chance to dine above the clouds.
