Film Lovers, Art Deco, Independent Cinema Experience for Two

Go where cinema first began. Velvet chairs, gold coat hooks, and a working Compton cinema organ.  WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? Right in the heart of London, over 120 years ago, the Lumière Brothers unveiled their Cinematographe machine, kickstarting the film industry; This was the first cinema to open its doors to the paying public, charging 54 people a shilling each to watch the 40 second clip. Regent Street cinema, the iconic cinema where this event occurred, was restored to its stunning Art Deco glory in 2015. Today, the cinema is run by a team of independent film lovers, who make sure that every film counts. From the best blockbusters to the most exciting independent and foreign-language films, the main criterion is that whatever is shown on the screen must transport you to another place. Their programme covers every genre. So whether it’s Gladiator II, A Man for all Seasons or It’s a Wonderful Life, you can settle in and fall in love with cinema all over again. TELL ME MORE Regent Street Cinema screens films in digital 4K with 7.1 surround sound in the Art Deco auditorium complete with velvet chairs, gold coat hooks, and an elliptical-coved ceiling—in other words, a proper old-fashioned cinema.

Pancakes and Cocktails. Your Bankside Day Date.

Make a day of it. A cultural and inspiring self-guided walk with the best pancakes in town for two.   In brief... A pancake feast & a cocktail for two Indytute curated guide and itinerary THE PANCAKES A pancake is not just for Shrove Tuesday it is for every day. These pancakes are simply puffs of delight. The flour is sourced from Shipton Mill, the bacon from Swaledale, and the maple syrup is most definitely ‘A’ grade. Flour and eggs battered into deliciousness. There are pancakes to delight every taste bud. Are you sweet or savoury? Vegan or Veggie? Going wheat free. No problem. Dairy free? Bring it on.  From morning to night there is a pancake with your name on it.  A tea delight could include a topping of strawberries and cream or they could be just be served as an aside adding cheer to a glass of Prosecco or a signature cocktail. Think about it. A Mississippi Mule with a smoked salmon blini - the afternoon just got even better. The space itself was pre-constructed and then shipped from Amsterdam, before landing in Arch 35a under the railway on the Southwark Bridge Road. The style is Scandi and small children and dogs are welcomed with high chairs for some, bowls of water for the others. For once the name really does reflect the menu.   This is very simply ‘Where the Pancakes Are’ - but as pancakes go they are anything but simple. Oh and look out for the dutch babies… YOUR DAY DATE In true Indytute style, we have curated a guide of Bankside complete with its fascinating history. It’s not all about the Tate and The Globe. Your day could start with breakfast at an infamous cafe, head off on a self-guided walk to discover the disappearing advertising from the past (an Instagrammers delight), a little known graveyard, wine sampling in Borough Market or end your day with a show.  AVAILABILITY Before 3:45pm Monday - Sunday.Suitable for families.   HOW DOES IT WORK?

Kintsugi Workshop

Embrace those imperfections with a golden repair. WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? Learn how to mend once loved china and earthenware in this mindful introduction to the Kintsugi method. The visible repairs are seen as part of the history of an object, highlighting the cracks and symbolising fragility, strength and beauty. This golden repair is called Kintsugi. WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP? The idea of this workshop is to repair a loved item, joining together the fractures using the Japanese Kintsugi method - applying the resin glue to the broken sections and making it whole once more. The imperfections aren’t to be hidden but embraced! The Kintsugi method celebrates the beauty of the scars in an object and recognises that the history should be shown and not hidden. Choose your broken porcelain (vase, bowl, plate or cup), and be taken by our resident Indytute expert, step by step through the technique of mending each section piece by piece. This is very much a thoughtful and methodical process….not to be rushed, where each piece is applied and repaired carefully. THE ALL IMPORTANT DETAILS The Indytute will provide all the kit needed for this workshop: You can bring your own china but we can't guarantee it'll be finished on time as the process needs to be done with patience. The class is two hours and runs monthly on Saturdays and Tuesday or Thursday evening. Location is Kensal Rise (a couple of stops from Paddington). This is a gift for either one person or two people. HOW DOES IT WORK? All you have to do is pay for the gift experience you wish to purchase. We’ll send a voucher including booking information to you or directly to the recipient.

The outside of the building is very understated, but once inside this nirvana of wellness the atmosphere is one of scandi chic.The sauna was practically invented by the Swedes, who realised very early on that dry heat is more than just a body treatment, it is also a social experience.  Feel your body visibly relax as you enter this cream and white temple to heat and ice.Plants filter the air and soften the space. There are two delightfully designer saunas - one traditionally heated, the other by infrared and the space is edged with 3D printed (really) plunge pods. They are the epitome of smart. Divided from each other by glass screens they are defined by their coldness.  6 degrees for the hardened plunger, 8 or 10 degrees if you want a slow build, or if you aren’t feeling up to a total dip there is a shower for a quick, sharp shock.  There is a maximum of eight people per session, so overcrowding is never going to be an issue.
