5 to 9 Nov 2026 · Times in London
Everything east of the hotel by day: igloo brunch, the Christmas market and Tower Bridge, lunch at Borough Market, the 58th floor at Horizon 22, sunset from a free rooftop garden, dinner at The Ivy, SAMBAROOM and Afrobeats.
Day: dark denim, a chunky knit and ankle boots for the igloo, the market and Horizon 22 photos. You're back at the hotel at 14:45, so get fully dressed for the night then: the Garden at 120 at sunset, The Ivy's DJ room and SAMBAROOM in one look. Jewel tones photograph beautifully up high. Smart and elegant, no sportswear, hats or hoods at SAMBAROOM.
Getting thereFrom Wilde: about 15 min walk, or 5 min by taxi.
A later start after Friday night. Weekend brunch in a heated riverside igloo facing Tower Bridge. Skip hotel breakfast and sleep in.

Your sunset spot. A free rooftop garden on the 15th floor of 120 Fenchurch Street, about a 12 min walk from the hotel. No booking, just walk in and go through security. Sunset is about 16:25 (4:25 PM). It closes at 17:00 (5 PM) on weekends, so don't be late. Lower than Horizon 22 but right among the towers, great for photos.
Getting thereFrom the Garden at 120: about 25 min by taxi, or the Central line from Bank to Oxford Circus, about 20 min.
About 25 min by taxi from the Garden at 120 (Burlington Arcade moved to Friday, next to The Wolseley). Browse Aimé Leon Dore next door to The Ivy and the lit-up Carnaby streets, or just have a drink at The Ivy's bar before your table.
Getting thereFrom Carnaby: 3 min walk.
Khari's pick: fancy, good food, not too expensive. 26 to 28 Broadwick Street, Soho, next door to Aimé Leon Dore. Colorful art-filled room with a DJ on Saturday nights, so it already feels like a night out. Smart casual. Skip the shepherd's pie (lamb) and the monkfish and prawn curry (shellfish), and make sure the allergy is on your booking. Booked. Leave by 20:05 (8:05 PM) for SAMBAROOM, about 25 min by taxi back east. SAMBAROOM, Tunnel Club and your hotel are all within a 10 minute walk of each other.

Only if you have energy left. Sunday starts at 09:00 with checkout and Harry Potter, so SAMBAROOM is a great place to end. Guestlist alternative via Lea's Events: Tape, REIGN, The Maddox Club or TABU, about 25 min by taxi west. Love Afrobeats and Bashment, 37 Jewry Street, 5 minutes from the hotel. 21+, bring passports.
