## BRING THE GIRLS TO A STAND-UP NIGHT

Top Secret Comedy Club is one of the cheapest ways to see top comedians in the capital. The trick is to buy tickets on the day you want to go – or make a donation to the club at the end of the night. Some pretty big names have played there over the years (including Michael McIntyre, Nish Kumar and Joanne McNally), but part of the fun is turning up to see who makes it on stage.

**TOP TIP:** If audience participation is your thing, get there early to sit at the front. Otherwise, nestle yourself in the middle to stay out of the comedian’s firing line!

**PRICE:** £5/£4 for students

*170 Drury Lane, Covent Garden, WC2B 5PD*

The venue also hosts free gigs where you can watch intimate performances on the stage in the main tunnel, which only holds 850 people. Recent performers include Anderson .Paak, The Vaccines, and Busted. Enter the ballot to secure your tickets.

**TOP TIP:** Stop by the photobooth to take a few pics with the girls before the show begins.

## HOP ON AN EMIRATES CABLE CAR

For panoramic views of the city, hop on an Emirates Cable Car which crosses the River Thames between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks. Cabins arrive every 30 seconds and journeys take about ten minutes each way – just enough time to take pics for the ‘gram. From 7pm, journeys are extended to 25 minutes so you can spend even more time taking in the views.

**TOP TIP:** Time your trip for sunset to make the most of the views.

**PRICE:** £5 each way

*Unit 1, 2, 3 &amp; 4, Emirates Cable Car Terminal, Edmund Halley Way, Greenwich, SE10 0FR*

## BOOK A SALSA CLASS

Salsa! Hosts Latin dance classes every day of the week. Classes are taught by ballroom professionals and all abilities are welcome – whether you’re a beginner or want to show off your moves on the dancefloor. There are two sessions every evening and Sunday nights are dedicated to Cuban music with Latin DJs.

**TOP TIP:** Don’t miss out on £1.50 tequila shots from the bar.

**PRICE:** £7/£5 for students

## EAT OYSTERS IN BOROUGH MARKET

Girls in the know always make a beeline for Borough Market for the best cheap eats. For a more sophisticated affair, you’ll find some of London’s freshest oysters at restaurants like The Wright Bothers. For a budget-friendly option, Richard Haward’s Oysters sells them for £1.50 each. Ask for a squeeze of lemon or dash of tabasco for an extra kick.

**TOP TIP:** [Bedales](https://www.bedaleswines.com/borough-market), a nearby independent wine shop, sells glasses of prosecco for £6 if you want to make a night of it.

**PRICE:** From £1.50

## TAKE PICS FROM CANARY WHARF’S ROOFTOP GARDEN

Now that Canary Wharf is on the Elizabeth Line, there’s no excuse not to visit the area’s newest rooftop garden. Ideal for a casual date, it’s one of the City’s largest rooftop gardens, filled with exotic plants from around the world. It sits almost exactly on the Meridian line, so the plants are arranged according to which hemisphere they’re from – think bamboos to the east and African ferns to the west. During the summer months, there are regular performances on the outdoor stage, so keep your eyes peeled for free events.

**TOP TIP:** Market Halls Canary Wharf is just a five-minute walk away and has plenty of budget-friendly options, including Pasta Evangelists which serves generous bowls of pasta for £9.50.

**PRICE:** Free

*Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf, E14 5AB*

## DINE AT A FRENCH BRASSERIE

Brasserie Zédel serves traditional French dishes in beautiful art-deco surroundings. The set menu might be just over budget, but you can hardly complain at steak haché with ondon fries and peppercorn sauce for just £10.50. You can also pop in for dessert if you’re after something sweet in Soho – its crème brûlée is the stuff of legend.

**TOP TIP:** Ask for a table near the bar for the full Parisian experience.

**PRICE:** From £10.50

*20 Sherwood Street, Soho, W1F 7ED*

## SEE A WEST END SHOW

Theatre tickets in London can be notoriously expensive, but if you know where to look, you can nab them for a fraction of the price. Resale platform Tkts London has a stall in Leicester Square where you can buy last-minute theatre tickets on the day of the show – and most are at least half price. Pay at the booth and ask the team to help with directions to the theatre.

**TOP TIP:** Sign up for the Tkts newsletter to stay up to date with the latest theatre performances and discounts.

**PRICE:** From £10

*The Lodge, Leicester Square, WC2H 7DE*

You can choose from over 350 songs from all genres (think Britney Spears to Drake) and you can bring your friends on stage for backing vocals. Get there early to make sure your song is at the front of the queue.

## CATCH A FILM ON THE BIG SCREEN

The Ealing Project is the new cinema to have on your radar – and the neighbourhood’s first in 14 years. To celebrate the opening, the cinema is selling tickets for just £6 throughout July. Meet the girls at the coffee bar for a co-working session then watch a film in the evening. Not sure what to watch? Book tickets to *Elvis* from legendary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann or the ultra-trippy Chinese blockbuster *Everything Everywhere All At Once*.

**TOP TIP:** Sign up for membership to get 20% off all food and drink.

**PRICE:** £6 throughout July, otherwise £9.95 / £7.95 for students
