Escaping the London heatwave with free entry at the Michael Jackson tribute this evening ☀️⬇️

​London is officially melting. We know the heatwave has probably wrecked most of the outdoor plans. ​If your current plan is just "survive the heat," we’ve got a much better plan for your evening.

​Picture this: ​Blissful air conditioning, fresh, savory, perfectly grilled souvlaki to transport you straight to the Greek islands (minus the sunburn), ​and ice-cold cocktails- exactly what you need to survive this week.

The best part? ​We’ve got the Michael Jackson live tribute this evening from 9pm!

​If you are our subscriber, you get FREE ENTRY - contact us to book!

​Don't spend the night sweating it out at home. Come cool down, eat well, and moonwalk away from the heatwave.
