➋ Shuffle Club | It’s back, baby
First swinging into town back in 2016, The London Shuffle Club boldly assuming that Londoners would get on board with the thoroughly old fashioned sport of shuffleboard. They were correct. Almost a decade (and two highly successful long-term pop ups) later, they’ve determined that the masses are indeed, still very keen on the sport. Which is how they’ve come to cut the ribbon on a much bigger permanent venue (now more snappily named ‘Shuffle Club’) in Shoreditch – and Nudge Members (+3) can slice a cool 50% off their gameplay and drinks bills here between 19th April – 3rd May.
Address: 19-23 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA

➌ NIJŪ | A new Japanese grill & sushi bar from a third-generation sushi master
One Star typically isn’t a great review. But when it’s from the people at Michelin, it’s a slightly different matter. And that’s what they gave third generation sushi master Endo Kazutoshi within one year of opening his debut restaurant in London, Endo At The Rotunda. And now, he’s just cut the ribbon on a fantastic new Japanese grill & sushi restaurant in the heart of Mayfair…
NOTE: Nudge Members are getting a five week secret soft launch at NIJŪ, with 50% off food, from 17th April – 31st May – book here.
Details: 20 Berkeley Street, Mayfair, W1J 8EE | Book here

➍ Classic Car Boot Sale | Drive a hard bargain
The Classic Car Boot Sale is essentially the city’s biggest, briefest vintage market, selling old-school threads, music, and bric-a-brac from a parade of beautiful vintage motors. It’s like a shop and a museum smooshed together. If you’re planning driving there, just make sure to park around the corner.
Details: 27th & 28th April | Granary Square, Kings Cross, N1C 4AA | £7

➎ Brew//LDN | 100+ beer brands, and you
Brew LDN has a lot of beer. No sh*t Sherlock, we know. But it also has a lot of not beer too, with all manner of street food, live music acts, low & no alcohol options, and more besides. Plus, it’s going to be at Between The Bridges, which is a fantastic venue in itself.
Details: 24-27th April | Between The Bridges, The Queen’s Walk, SE1 | £10+
