Call us biased, but we think London is the best city in the world, with endless things to see and do, especially during the summer months. It’s no surprise, then, that Londoners can sometimes fall foul of choice paralysis – or end up doing the same, expected things time and time again. That’s where we come in. Read on for three things worth your attention right now. Consider it a nudge to find joy in the unexpected…
1. Paint the town pink (shandy)
This summer, it's all about the 7UP® Pink Shandy takeover at Clapham’s The Pink Nel (formerly The Perky Nel). Think of this as your chance to spend a few leisurely hours in a sunny beer garden with your pal surrounded by all things pink.
From July 31 to August 24, head to The Pink Nel to see its all-pink glow up where summer socialising hits different. Expect outdoor games, bag some exclusive merch and give the all-new 7UP® Pink Shandy a go for yourself. The fresh, colourful twist on a classic combines 7UP® Pink Lemonade Zero Sugar with lager, sugar-free strawberry syrup and frozen raspberries for a crisp, refreshing serve that's made for summer. The best part? You can try the 7UP Pink Shandy for free! Pop in and speak to a member of staff to claim your complimentary 7UP Pink Shandy.
2. Reconnect with the country (without leaving the city)
While we may love the capital, us city folk do sometimes pine for the countryside. And what if we told you you could do just that – without venturing out of zone one? At Vauxhall City Farm, Londoners of all ages can muck around and find out with the Farmer for a Day experience.
Hop off the Victoria line and straight into the thick of things as you experience all aspects of farm life: muck out paddocks, feed the animals – there’s even time for a farm photoshoot. With lunch at the Old Dairy Cafe included, you’ll be well-fed after all that hard graft.
3. Discover a new kind of musical
Going to the theatre? In London? Whatever will they think of next? While catching a show in London isn’t exactly groundbreaking, Death Note: The Musical, playing at the Barbican from July 30, is a show like you’ve never seen before.
Based on the bestselling manga and anime of the same name, the musical follows a gifted student who finds a notebook that gives its owner power over life and death. What begins as a quest for justice and the reshaping of society for the greater good soon becomes a battle of wits that questions the morality and ethics of power. See, we told you it's something a little different! Grab you tickets now – the run lasts until September 12.
Head to the 7UP® Pink Shandy pub takeover at The Pink Nel from July 31 to August 24.
