The weather may be parky outside but there’s still a load of great stuff going on across London this weekend. Grab a hat and scarf and get exploring! Here’s our faves.
=======
If money’s a bit tight this month but you still fancy a pick me up, get down to Soho where staff will be handing out FREE bars of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. Almost
Snag? Nah, all you’ve got to do is trade in some old knick knack to bag the chocolate. It’s a cash free store so look down the back of the couch. Even an old button, broken hair comb or rubber band will do!
Now – Sun 28th Jan, 10am – 6pm: Dairy Milks for Trinkets
