It’s billed as the most depressing day of the year: Christmas is but a fading memory, the weather’s grim and nobody’s got any dosh.
But, on the upside, Blue Monday, is a brilliant day to bag a top bargain.
We’ll be updating this page as more offers come in so check back, but here’s some cracking deals to kick off.
South of the river, pizza joint Bunga Bunga in Battersea is serving up pizzas for £1 all evening. That’s right, a quid! You can choose from any pizza on the menu and all you’ve got to do to in return is buy a beer or any other item on the menu.
So round up your chums and get down there. We strongly recommend booking as this is going to very popular, for obvious reasons.

It’s not often you get to plonk yourself in a restaurant in central London and know that you’ll be fed and watered for just a fiver. Not one that hasn’t got plastic cutlery, anyway!
But BungaTINI in Covent Garden has you covered. Its Blue Monday offer is a corker. For just £5 you can have a pizza plus a Peroni or glass of Prosecco. If that’s not worth staying on in town for a post work Monday pick me up, we don’t know what is.
Mon Jan 15th, from 4pm: £5 pizza + Prosecco/Peroni
BungaTINI, 167 Drury Lane, WC2 5PG
