National Champagne Week

Venues across London are popping fancy bottles of bubbly for seven days straight, giving both champagne experts and boozy-loving beginners the chance to take part in tasting sessions, parties, masterclasses and more. Highlights include a Perrier-Jouët infused afternoon tea at Searcys Champagne Bar in St Pancras station (Oct 2-3), and a glamourous tasting dinner hosted by Bollinger at Sixtyone Restaurant to mark the release of the latest James Bond film (Oct 1). Those looking for something more laid-back should head to the recently opened Bonfire restaurant at the Barbican where flutes of fizz will be paired with burgers from the menu (Oct 1-7).
