To do list: our pick of hot events

FOOD AND DRINK

The Gardening Society at John Lewis

Winter has come to John Lewis' rooftop in the form of the perfect festive hideaway - The Ethicurean. The Bristol-based restaurant, known for its delectable British dishes, is popping up on the store's rooftop. Dishes on the menu include their Christmas pie, Welsh rabbit, Tandoor-spiced cauliflower and truffle and mushroom pork sausages.

Save space for pudding; almond milk sorbet and sticky toffee apple cake are among the winners. And make sure you keep warm with the tipples; we've got our eye on the traditional Hot Toddy and 8 Spices Mulled Negroni. For a more cosy affair, guests can also book the lodges - perfect for small groups and couples.

Winterland

November is here and you know what that means? Festive winter pop-ups are finally back in business. Cue Fulham's Winterland; a cutesy wonderland packed with cosy winter lodges, igloos, and fur-lined sofas perched underneath a heated pergola. Food-wise, it's an alpine-themed affair with dribble-worthy fondues, raclette burgers and steak frites from Jimmy's Lodge. There'll be delectable hot cocktails to warm your bones too, and besides Saturdays, Winterland is BYOB.

Not only is this a seriously Instagrammable setting, the entertainment line-up will feature neon-lit curling lanes, mini golf and prosecco pong. Tickets start at a pocket-friendly £5.

Woody Bear

Looking for a new winter rooftop? Ideally located on Oxford Street, a minute's walk from Marble Arch, Woody Bear has popped up to replace formerly summer hits Notch and Sisu.
