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!

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.
