EVENT OF THE WEEK

ENROUTE: THE BARHOPPING EXPERIENCE SET TO REDEFINE LONDON NIGHTLIFE.

January sobriety done! …stated with about as much conviction as upholding my new year's resolutions.

Jokes aside, after an expensive Christmas and the obligatory January sales shopping spree, what a relief to be finally approaching the end of the month with (year-end tax returns filed and) pay day around the corner. Surely this is reason enough for celebration in itself?

With this in mind, what better time to announce what promises to be the coolest barhopping experience around. Time to dust off those dancing shoes and get the spring back in your step. Enroute is your opportunity to party hard and mingle with up to 299 co-adventurers. This action-packed tour will see you whisked between some truly awesome and luxurious venues: The Collection in Knightsbridge, Beaufort House in Chelsea, and Meursault in Kensington.

Forget pub-crawls, Enroute is for those who want all the fun & thrills of the Uni-yester-years, but this time done in style, like glamping at Glastonbury, or rocking up to Burning Man Festival in a fully-kitted RV.

What's more we have secured our readers complimentary tickets to this unique event, saving you £45 each in the process...

AN EVENING ON THE PERRIER-JOUËT ROOF TERRACE ATOP THE SANCTUM SOHO HOTEL.

An epicurean sanctum from which to circumvent the retail mania that otherwise envelops Regent Street. The aptly named Sanctum Soho Hotel provides just such a place, begging the question …why contend with frenzied shoppers, tourists and rush hour commuter traffic, when you could wait it out over a Cognac and Cigar (or a champagne cocktail for the fairer sex), on your own private roof terrace?...

ARE ELECTRIC CARS PRACTICAL? WE GET SOME INSIGHTS WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE BMW I3.

Adamant that their new model "defines the car of tomorrow", the folks at BMW have considered and applied a variety of environmentally responsible aspects, channeling them as faithfully as possible into the car's aesthetics and, most importantly, performance. Ladies and gentleman, say hello to the future...
