Eis Haus at Christmas by the River 

A new sub-zero attraction has popped up at London Bridge City, Eis Haus. The alpine venue is inviting guests to don their warmest clothes and enter the very Instagrammable ice bar, where they can enjoy artisan drinks from frozen glasses at -5 degrees, while admiring the many ice sculptures. Outside, revellers can warm up with hot toddies under cover, and enjoy entertainment from live bands and DJs. The pop-up is open until 3 January.

This episode also explores Kylo Ren's internal battle between the light and dark sides of the force, and his attempts to understand the psychic connection between himself and Rey as good and evil battle for ultimate control of the galaxy.

Festive Fizz Brunch Social

Flight Club are getting into the Christmas spirit this weekend with their Festive Fizz Brunch Social. The dress code is obviously the finest Christmas jumper you can muster (there's going to be a prize for the best one) and word on the street is that Santa himself will be popping around to each oche to dish out some festive treats. Food and drink-wise, you can feast on bottomless pizza slices and you'll get a whole bottle of prosecco to yourself, with a glass of Winter Pimm's on arrival on top to help you kickstart your session. Not forgetting that Christmas is the season of giving, £5 of every ticket sold will be donated to Save The Children. If that's not reason enough to go, we don't know what is.
