Sip cocktails in the twilight

Kick back by a firepit and take a sip from your specially brewed drink, an infusion of herbs and flowers from the garden you’re sitting in. Midnight Apothecary provides views of the sun setting by the river while you toast marshmallows on the fire and enjoy entertainment from local musical talent. If you’re looking to add to the experience, go underground into the Brunel Tunnel Grand Entrance Hall for a guided tour.

Recently, a Glossy features meeting took a dark turn: offensive feet on the tube. With the surge of sudden beautiful weather, more and more people are slipping their feet into sandals for the world to see, despite how bad they may look. Thankfully, Burt’s Bees have created three new products that will guarantee beautiful, soft feet.

Begin with the Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub, a combination of seeds, oils and natural sugars, this product buffs and polishes to leave your feet healthy and glowing. Next, reach for the Coconut Foot Cream to rejuvenate dry feet, its hint of rosemary and peppermint oils will make them feel instantly refreshed and diminish any tiredness. Finally, the Peppermint Foot Lotion, a wonder product developed to target those neglected feet. A blend of oils and extracts (including bicarbonate soda to neutralist foot odour, yes, this has happened to all of this), this lotion moisturises the toughest feet and heels, leaving them soft to the touch.
