### TRY A NEW CLASS HERE: 1Rebel

1Rebel has opened a new site in Angel. Here, you can take part in the club’s 45-minute Reshape session, which incorporates sprint and incline intervals on the treadmill, as well as body-sculpting exercises on the floor, so no muscle is left untoned. Sessions focus on upper body and abs, lower body and abs or full body, so expect muscle isolation and focus within your sets. Whether you’re a runner, spinner or HIIT fan, this class will mix up your workout and push you to the next level. It's an experience that will challenge, inspire, burn fat and push you – perfect for a pre-brunch workout.

*407 St John Street, Angel, EC1V 4AD*

### ATTEND A HOT POP-UP HERE: Carousel

Twenty-eight-year-old Chilean Ricardo Verdejo began his career at Boragó, Rodolfo Guzmán’s game-changing Santiago institution. It was there that he really fell in love with food, developing a profound respect for ingredients. After moving across the city to 99, which he helped steer to a place on Latin America’s 50 Best list, he headed to NYC, where he cooked for the Obamas. This month, Ricardo joins rotating restaurant Carousel from Mexico City. His pop-up menu promises to put an imaginative spin on the best British ingredients he can get his hands on: expect wild mushrooms with orange oil; seared scallops with bone marrow, green apples and parmesan water and hazelnut; chocolate and cream sorbet with smoked crème anglaise and burnt vanilla.

*71 Blandford Street, Marylebone, W1U 8AB; until 24th August*

### HAVE DRINKS HERE: Fitz’s

This weekend, the cocktail bar at Kimpton Fitzroy London is hosting ‘Fitz’s In Bloom’, a one-off outdoor summer pop-up. The event takes inspiration from Russell Square’s ‘Working Man’s Flower Show’ where in 1868, the park was first open to the public for recreation. Fitz’s will be relocating to an al fresco space set against the backdrop of Russell Square until 17th August, from midday to 8pm. Created in partnership with Select Aperitivo, director of bars Sean Fennelly has put together an exclusive menu of spritzes, many of which are low ABV or alcohol free. We like the sound of the ‘Whamericano’ – Select Aperitivo, Dolin Blanc, white tea and rhubarb soda.

*1-8 Russell Square, Bloomsbury, WC1B 5BE; until 17th August*
