Staying In
The Clink Charity has long been supporting the rehabilitation of people in prison through its restaurant at HMP Brixton. And now, the social enterprise is growing to include a catering and bakery offering, with all dishes and pastries made by trainees learning both inside prisons and within the community. You can order dishes for home gatherings or office events, with the menu including breakfast, lunch and canapé boxes – the High Down Collection, for instance, includes a platter of sandwiches, savoury tarts and classic cakes like Victoria sponge or sticky toffee and date. Baked goods, meanwhile, are available for collection; the tasty offering includes rosemary focaccia, peanut butter cookies, cinnamon rolls, banana cake, doughnuts and more. cateredbyclink.org
Going Out
Try A New Workout
Is this London’s prettiest fitness studio? There’s stiff competition, but we think The Method – an intimate new space on Westbourne Grove – is pretty as a picture. But don’t be deceived by the artful lighting and tactile equipment: you’ve got a tough workout ahead, whether it’s a fiery HIIT-style ‘Blast’ or the dance-aerobic style ‘Beat Power’. If toned arms and abs are the aim of the game, the mat Pilates-style ‘Glide & Sculpt’ is the class to choose. Think sweat-inducing, high intensity muscle challenges without jumping or feeling overly breathless, using hand and ankle weights, sliders, balls and, of course, your own bodyweight. Nearby enjoy one of Notting Hill’s lovely restaurants and cafes – trust us, you’ve earned it. Find The Method at 235 Westbourne Grove (London W112SE) before its new flagship opens in March. themethod.com
Property Of The Day
The childhood home of actor, comedian, big-dog Faithful and all-round national treasure Stephen Fry is up for sale. Located in the sleepy Norfolk hamlet of Reepham, this seven-bedroom country house is an absolute steal.
On the market for £1.3m. jackson-stops.co.uk
Little Luxury
Liberty is celebrating the impending launch of Bridgerton season 4 with its second Regency-inspired line – think intricate florals, frills, bows and pastels across accessories, dresses, pyjamas, fabrics and homeware. We’re particularly loving this ruffled blue pouch, a makeup bag which would surely get Queen Charlotte’s seal of approval. £79.95, libertylondon.com
Competition Time
Win a one-night bed and breakfast stay at The Slaughters Manor House in the Cotswolds for you and a guest, with dinner included.
Psssst…
Hot on the heels of that nail-biting Traitors final, we have word that the hit show is coming to the stage. An official theatrical adaptation will launch in London next year, which producers say will ‘bring a bold, structural twist to the format that only the live medium can provide’. Sign up to be the first to hear updates.
Whatever You Do, Don’t
Worry about being without your favourite skincare products on your next holiday. Heathrow Airport has scrapped the 100ml liquid rule – and better still, travellers no longer need to stuff everything into those annoying plastic bags.
