Watch the Six Nations in lavish style, and play shipping container ping pong

London Freebie of the Week
The Six Nations are starting on February 1st, but you’ll need time to plan this one -- you see, we’ve teamed up with Young’s pubs to give one lucky reader their own private VIP hospitality suite at the Dial Arch, Dog & Fox, The Waterside, or The County Arms. There’ll be room for seven of your buds, plus a round of Guinness for everyone and mini fridge stocked with beer of your choice. Oh, and your own personal waiter. Send your favorite moment from last year here and they’ll hook you up, then catch all the games right here.

They’ll even steady you for the journey back with Prosecco or a Bloody Mary. Start the journey, here

Polo Bar

Sunday, January 26th: They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so celebrate the start of National Breakfast Week (it’s a thing!) over at the 24hr cafe/bar Polo just outside of Liverpool St Station.
