14 Hills Enchanted Forest in the Sky In Partnership with No.3 Gin

Christmas is a time for magic, baby, and it doesn't get more magical than a god-damn enchanted forest on a rooftop in the middle of London's Square Mile. 14 Hills has transformed itself with warm fairy lights suspended from the ceiling, hanging baubles and gold and green décor, all with the help of No.3 Gin. Step into the sky-high winter hideaway through the beautifully decorated archway, and then sit back and chill with a few dishes and one of their enchanting cocktails, like the Magic Martini that you can pimp with the selection of homemade aromas and essences. We're all about the blue pea flowers and citrus peels. This is the escape from 2020 reality we've been waiting for.

Miracle at The Henrietta Hotel

 

It's kitsch. It's nostalgic. It's back for the third year in a row. New York’s famous Miracle on Ninth Street bar has returned to Covent Garden’s Henrietta Hotel for a season of Christmassy cocktails and OTT decor. Hell yeah! This year’s pop-up pays homage to the ’70s (AKA the decade of disco) so think foil garlands, kitsch baubles and Motown covers of your fave Christmas tunes. The drinks menu is as intriguing and creative as ever (Fruitcake Flip anyone?) and the hotel’s Italian Supper Club is on hand to supply your substantial meal to go with 'em.
