Being invited to attend a cocktail masterclass at the new 5 star Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge is not something a girl would turn down. Bulgari, known first and foremost for it's precious jewels and luxury goods, was sure to impress. From being greeted at the door by some of the most welcoming doormen to entering one of the most stylish lobbies in London I knew I was in for a good evening. Stepping inside I was instantly relaxed: the low lighting, the spacious surroundings and that classic Italian style all took away my stresses from the day. 

From here I was kindly shown my way to where the masterclass was to take place. Il Bar is as decadent as expected from Bulgari. The centrepiece of the room is the impressive bar itself: hammered silver and polished to perfection, it was gleaming invitingly for guests to pay it a visit. Decorated with every spirit you could possibly want and a fantastic wine and cocktail list, you know it's not going to be just a quick visit. After taking all this in, I was directed towards a discreet room tucked away to the right; it was perfectly sized for a private affair with it's own beautifully presented and well stocked bar. The comfy corner sofas were well in-keeping with the relaxed ambience whilst the walls were adorned with black and white images of old Hollywood stars lending itself to the glamour of the hotel.

The evening began with an introduction from the Bar Manager, Davide Segat. From working under the renowned Brian Silva at The Connaught to Head Bartender at Green & Red before becoming Bar Manager at Hawksmoor, it is clear that Segat is more than qualified for the job. He tells us that he and his team of mixologists have created a bespoke cocktail list inspired by the famous Bulgari fragrances. In true Italian style, we begin with an aperitivo: a drink designed to 'open the stomach'. The aperol spritz is delicious: the orange liqueur combines a gentle bitterness with a citrus tang making it a perfectly refreshing choice to cleanse the palette. Top up please?

Finally, we were shown one of the signature cocktails: Au Thé Vert. Made with jasmine tea, beefeater gin, oak moss syrup, lemon and topped off with soda it blends together perfectly to create a distinctive flavour. With a slight floral undertone it's not what you expect however it's sweet aromatic taste is a pleasant surprise. Presented with an edible flower it looks every inch an appetising drink.

As I head to leave the hotel, I'm surprised as to how busy the bar is for a Wednesday night. Most of the tables are full with couples, groups of men in suits or guests having had a long day spending their money in Harrods. The atmosphere is still the same: relaxed and in good spirits. I would happily come back here and highly recommend you try it. There's no blaring music or rowdy crowds that can ruin your night, just good surroundings and great drinks. For you gentlemen out there, they also have an exclusive cigar room perfect for any Old Boys club. Whilst for the ladies, an exquisite intimate spa offering only the most luxurious products and treatments. It is after all Bulgari. And it definitely didn't disappoint.

In a time honoured tradition, London has once again fallen in love with the East. Its mysteries and arts have fascinated us for hundreds of years; silk, opium and tea are a mere few of the hundreds of oriental offerings that our dear city has absorbed as its own. Of course, we do always seem to discover such wonders rather late, as is the case with Bubble Tea; the new, exciting, innovative spin on a timeless classic. It's hardly surprising that such an avant-garde discovery is utterly mundane in its homeland of Taiwan, having been invented early in the eighties. I'm positive our Eastern cousins view us all as some sort of international village idiot. 

However common it is over in that futuristic landscape, it does seem rather a jump from the very British subject of my last little excursion at Fortnum & Mason (forgetting the Indian and Chinese tea, the French pastries and the 90% foreign waiting staff). As they say, variety is the spice of life... although having said that, I can never really manage much more than a korma.

Now, the tea I sampled was from "Wasabi", but it is available in many other places, including shops in Notting Hill and Soho, which are dedicated to this slightly odd beverage. I do feel an explanation may be required on what Bubble Tea actually is, as it's a rather strange concept. The fact that it is not sparkling, as the name implies, may come as a shock to such westernised brains as ours. The wonderfully poetic languages of the East demand  a little more imagination in order to fully comprehend and appreciate their names. Coming in a range of black, green with milk teas or iced fruit tea flavours, there is huge choice depending on personal preference. The one uniting factor across this multitude of options are the bubbles themselves, or "Pearls". Once again, not real pearls you understand? Good, just checking.  These tiny tapioca balls floating in the tea really add something special, providing of course you don't choke to death on the little things, and once you've mastered the wielding of the positively colossal straws, the sweet chewy treats become most enjoyable.

Having said that, one shouldn't expect an explosion of chemical taste such as can be found in the various frappachinos offered on the high street. The taste of Bubble Tea is much more subtle, with light scents and hints of flavour discernible in each refreshing sip. However, I would definitely recommend this as a summer drink, perhaps as an alternative to the your preferred mix of crushed ice and flavouring, which is only really used as an internal ice pack. It is most certainly less likely to freeze your brain with agony. As for these days of knitwear and near frostbite, I think I'll stick with my thermos. But when our prayers are answered, and summer comes, I'm sure I'll practically swim in the stuff.

QualiTea:  8/10
Made fresh and rather healthy, but perhaps an acquired taste after years of bubble-less tea.

HospitaliTea: Not applicable
It's a take-away drink really, although the lady at the counter was very friendly.

OriginaliTea: 9/10 
Delightfully different, a must-try for any tea enthusiast.

So, according to the Mayan prophecy, the end is nigh. As people across the world return home from the strenuous task of Christmas shopping, they’ll be loudly cursing as they realise that their beloved friends and relatives won’t even receive their recent purchases. The thought will also cross their mind as to how they should prepare themselves for when the world reaches its dramatic end. 

One option is hiding in a stairwell, with a tin of Heinz baked beans, rocking backwards and forwards franticly. The other option, to quote the highly-regarded lyricist and philosopher, Jay Sean, is to “party like it’s the end of the world”. 

So, what are your options?

It’s the time of year when your svelte summer body becomes a distant memory. With every turkey sandwich you consume, your ‘festively plump’ physique begins to reveal itself more and more. Even the woolly jumper that your nan bought you last Christmas cannot mask the mince pie inflicted reality.

Every Wednesday at 7pm, starting from 9th January 2013, Maggie’s and Lomax Bespoke Fitness will provide a weekly 80s Dance Fitness Class, with choreographer, Chloe Tangney, who has danced for the likes of Jessie J, Lilly Allen and Whitney Houston. ‘The Lomax Way’, the fitness company’s ideological pièce de résistance, helps people follow a healthy diet, exercise and relax as an easy part of their daily routine.

Whilst it is the season to be jolly, it’s never too early to be deciding on your new year’s resolution. 

The classes are £15 and will take place at Maggie's, the Thatcher inspired nightclub, on 329 Fulham Road, 
London, SW10 9QL.

"It is a hobby of mine to have an exact knowledge of London" said our greatest detective,  Sherlock Holmes. An exact knowledge of London is hard to come by but one can definitely pursue the hobby. I think that almost every Londoner is intrigued by London's secret side. After all, it is a hot bed of secrets. They are all badly kept, but when we come across them, we will never forget them. I have always preferred to take a word-of-mouth approach; you never know what you will find. I have some recommendations that I think you may like, and here are my top seven:

NOPI
21-22 Warwick Street, W1
One of Ottolenghi's restaurant, tucked away on Warwick Street just behind the bustling Piccadilly Circus. It is tapas-tastic - a marvellous date venue. Sharing food is always a good conversation topic, especially when you've landed a boring date with a guy who thought he was Dorothy, complete with his red slippers. His droll conversation caused me to drink excessively and when I stumbled downstairs to the toilet, I found myself staring at my own face, from every angle. The toilet is made of mirrors and thus, it is quite a struggle to find the exit - unfortunately, the date was still there when I returned to the table - all the same, the food was ace. Thank you, Mr. Ottolenghi.

The Horseshoe
28 Heath Street, NW3
The best Gastro in North West London and a great pub too. I have fond memories of living in Hampstead with its country-bumpkin atmosphere and this, my friends, was always my choice of pub. A quiet pint or a slap-up Sunday lunch - this place had it all. It's wooden benches and tables give it a natural, vintage chic which is comforting and homely - it feels like a local. I've definitely spent many a Sunday writing a word or two in this Hampstead Hub.

Barts
Chelsea Cloisters, Sloane Avenue, SW7
Heart-stopping performances at the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall tend to leave your throat dry, so I always liked to take my friends to this friendly speakeasy at the back of Chelsea Cloisters. It's secret and attracts a neighbourly crowd.  It is simply the best secret bar in London (keep this one to yourself though). They have an extensive dressing up box and there is an outfit for everyone. Every month or so they host a Cabaret, one with the talented Fifi Green. I highly recommend it. A bottle of champagne and a Viking hat awaits you behind the hidden doors in the heart of Chelsea, but you might need a password to get in.

Nightjar
129 City Road, EC1
Just off Old Street, this is also a secret basement bar which presents some awesome jazz and a cocktail menu of class, sophistication and plenty of unlikely ingredients. I have spent many a night in here with a musician or too after concerts at nearby venues. One hopped onto the piano once or twice. It's East, it’s cool and it’s classy.

Whites
113 Whitecross Street, EC1
The best haircut in London. I fear people touching my hair and I hate changing my hair stylist. I was recommended this place by an old friend and I never regretted it. Every haircut I ever had there was neatly done and exactly how I had asked. The staff are friendly and talkative and destroy the common hairdressers idle chatter that one always loathes. Walking into any other barber, when asked "How would you like your hair cut, sir?" I would reply "in silence". No longer. Traditional, bespoke and utterly brilliant.

The Elk in the Woods
37-39 Camden Passage, N1
My favourite pub in the North (London, that is). Every meeting I have ever had here has gone swimmingly - I think it’s their chips. Potatoes are a winner and these guys know how to cook them. In a great back passage, near Angel tube station in Islington, this is another wooden-benched vintage-chic pub. Nearly always busy but great for a bite to eat or a quiet drink.

The Vintage Showroom
14 Earlham Street, WC2
I have always been a fan of paisley scarves and this is the best place to buy a proper, vintage one and consequently be the trendiest gentleman in the garden. The place screams gentleman and has an impressive collection of clothes for all sorts of men.

Sorry, but some secrets are too delicious not to share. Perhaps if we all pitched together we could all assume an exact knowledge of London that we all so much desire. Jet-Setting is all very well but nothing beats a holiday in your own city. The pleasure, sir, is yours.

For all London’s American expats, foodies and yankophiles, the recent arrival of this rock ‘n’ roll spot has been exciting news. Honky Tonk, Chelsea’s new edgy, fun and New York inspired restaurant, is already an up and coming South West London hotspot.

The discreet entrance on Hollywood Road welcomes diners into a baby boom American time warp, where the interior is vintage-inspired, yet has a modern feel to it; the hand-drawn black and white polka dot walls are covered by album covers from the Rolling Stones, reclaimed Japanese ship lights and other accessories which would one would expect to see in the room of an Elvis Presley super fan, and where the food can only be described as authentically all-American.

Classic dishes includes Ribs, Quesadillas and mini Slider Burgers, which can be accompanied by the Honky Tonk signature drinks, including the diverse range of bourbons, beers and the signature Pickleback drink, which is bourbon chased by a shot of homemade pickle juice.

The most exciting feature of the new bar and restaurant is that each week it will throw open its doors to a weekly party brunch which will have you listening to good ol’ 50s blues, rather than experienced the winter variety.  The new brunch menu features delicious classic such as French toast with Maple Syrup and Vanilla Cream, Eggs Benedict and a Full House Plate of Bacon, Bubble & Squeak, Tomatoes, Homemade Baked Beans, Eggs and Toasted Brioche. Alongside the brunch, live music will be played and Honky Tonk’s special morning cocktails will be served.  

Who said alcohol, music and good grub was reserved for the evenings? When in New York, do as the New Yorkers do.

As I stepped out of the train station, into the busy high street, and into a young lady asking “Tickets! Tickets, Anyone? Tickets for Passion Pit tonight”, I knew that it would be an eventful night. Whilst the bustling streets of Kentish Town may be overshadowed by its neighbour, Camden Town; the selection of well established restaurants on offer may top the kebab stands and the iffy Chinese food in the nearby ‘market-town’. Not to say that you can’t grab a kebab on Kentish Town Road, there is no shortage of meat-on-sticks on the high street. Kentish Town has seen a real rise in popularity recently, due to the arrival of Soho House’s restaurant empire. Hipster hotspots, such as; Pizza East and Chicken Shop, have allowed this North London ugly duckling to grow into its young, hip and highly confident swan.  After popping into Nando’s and crossing the bridge, I arrived at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town.

London was truly graced to have the likes of the indie-electronic group, Passion Pit, perform in the Forum. The surprisingly large space in the old stage-theatre was full of the band’s committed fans who were humming tunes and wearing the merchandise on sale outside the auditorium. The dim-lighting and theatre-styled architecture created an intimate feeling in the venue and added a sense of warmth to the hall that was well received as the crowd came in from the winter-chill.

The Massachusetts five-piece are no strangers to the British stage, performing at the Leeds/Reading Festival earlier this year that earned them the reputation of having brilliant visual shows and an impressive front-man whose energy can match the bounciness of their music. And yes, the band, once again, outdid themselves with a dazzling performance of electronic tunes at their best.

Following from the band’s recently released new album “Gossamer” that followed their 2009 debut, “Manners”, Passion Pit dived straight in with their latest single, ‘Take A Walk’, that had the entire crowd bouncing and singing along to it. The speed and charisma didn’t end there, as they continued with recent tracks, ‘Carried Away’, ‘It’s Not My Fault, I’m Happy’ and ‘I’ll Be Alright’. A lot of Passion Pit’s brilliance of the night was revealed when they played their slower-jams like ‘Constant Conversations’ and ‘ Live To Tell The Tale’, shown by the crowd as they stood with wide-eyes and reverence. The light show at the venue aided this also with quick beams spinning around the hall during the fast paced tracks and dark, slow lighting that showered the crowd during the more leisured songs.

Instruments played by the band varied from bass guitars to synthesizers to a booming drum kit which each gave something special to every song but never got muffled during the performance. Instead the sound was clear and sharp with the band really getting into the music as they flung themselves backwards and forwards in a tribal manner. It is unfortunate, however, that the microphone for lead singer Michael Angelakos was quite indistinct and so was drowned out by the heavy sounds from the instruments, as his voice is one of the defining features of the band. Although this was saved, in some ways, by the fact that the crowd knew most of the lyrics to the songs and the singer’s performance was dynamic, with him at one point kicking over a chair , sending two of the legs spinning into the crowd.

The show concluded with the band’s past hits that first brought them onto the scene ‘Little Secrets’, ‘Moth’s Wings’ and ‘Sleepyhead’. These tracks were by far the best moments of the show, as the familiar riffs were electric in the air and gold confetti exploded into the audience. Perhaps at the wrong, as the confetti settled into the mouths of the audience, as they were singing along. But despite the choking hazard, the crowd at the Forum were completely enthralled by Passion Pit’s show and the power of their songs which left everyone certain that there were better things to come from this group.

Loïc Desplanques's SpecialiTea:

Whether you're a true connoisseur, just in it for the caffeine or, dare I say it, a 'hipster', chances are you probably drink a lot of our national beverage.  Now, that muddy mess you slosh around a bit in the morning is all well and good, but if you want something a little more luxurious you may be interested in this humble column of mine. Off the bat I think a disclaimer may be necessary, I'm most certainly not the self-proclaimed Jean-Baptiste Grenouille of blends and infusions (the sensory genius and main character of Süskind’s ‘Perfume’, as I’m SURE you all already know), so taking all of what I write to heart may be ill advised.  I hope you'll forgive me this, but I had hoped we could go on this little adventure of discovery together. 

Not being a so-called 'risk taker', I thought I would open with something familiar, something comforting, something which I had already planned before I had even heard about The Gazette. I am, of course, speaking of the tea-pilgrim's Mecca for nearly 300 years, and indeed one of my favourite London haunts, Fortnum and Mason. More specifically, The Diamond Jubilee Tea salon on the top floor which, as you can probably guess, is a rather recent addition to the store. So, before I get on to the tea, I'd just like to say a few words about the tearoom itself. It is charming. With wonderful duck egg and cream décor and beautiful silverware, (available to buy downstairs, providing, of course, that you don't really want to go on holiday this year anyway...) it is indeed almost charming enough to compensate for the fact that most of the clientele seemed compelled to scream their small talk across the tables (“DARLING, I DO WISH YOU’D KEEP THAT TEA AWAY FROM MY PASHMINA”). I am also at a loss as to how one could extract such a din from a simple set of cutlery, no matter. Surprisingly, these oblivious percussionists were far more diverse than I could have ever anticipated, which was pleasantly refreshing, and I’m sure that some of the tourists present must have arrived on the same plane as the tea that they were now drinking.  Quick, let’s get to the tea before I find something else to exaggerate!

I'm going to have to use the excuse of 'when in Rome...' to justify my rather unoriginal choice of tea, Fortmason, the house blend. Although, if I'm honest, it needs no real justification at all! A black tea, half India half China, it has a gorgeous aromatic taste and scent provided by an orange blossom perfume, making it ideal for a light afternoon pick-me-up. I would always take it brewed lightly, without milk or sugar (although to be fair I consider milk in any sort of tea sacrilege of the highest form) but if you are that way inclined, a drop of milk, but only a drop mind you, is permissible. Keep in mind this isn't the punch to your palate that, for example, a dark smoked tea such as Lapsang Souchong would be, but if you're looking for a delicate start to the day, or a companion to your elevenses, or in my case the wonderful selection of endless finger sandwiches, scones and enticing miniature cakes that made up the set meal, I can't recommend it highly enough!

Continuing along the theme of horrific puns, I felt as though a gimmicky rating system would only be appropriate. 

HospitaliTea: 8/10
The service was punctual and the waiters were courteous, although somewhat robotic.
QualiTea:  10/10
As you would expect, it can not be faulted. Absolutely delicious!
OriginaliTea: 7/10 
One would not expect originality from such a traditional institution, however, some of the flavour combinations took a creative spin without detracting too far from proven classics.

Diamonds are a girls best friend - Monroe, Kidman et al can’t be wrong, surely? Any jet-setter knows that the best place to find your ideal gems is the worldwide jewellery mecca, Tiffany and Co. During this jolly season, what do you get when you combine Tiffany with everyone’s favourite winter pastime: ice skating.

Now that the lights are well an truly lit - thank you Rihanna and Robbie - and Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges have unveiled spectacular Christmas displays, it is the perfect time to get into the Christmas spirit. Especially anyone who has already had their first turkey day of the year for Thanksgiving! Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is always a good idea at Christmas, but the best place for a jet-setter to be seen this Christmas is Somerset House.

The annual ice rink is back, sponsored by Tiffany and Co., no less, and it doesn’t disappoint. There are plenty of opportunities to make the perfect Christmas memories on and off the ice, in style, of course. One that will appeal to most is the Club Night Skate, which lines up the hottest DJs from your favourite London clubs and the UK’s best music festivals. This open air skate party is good enough to rival even the best club nights as not only are you partying to some exclusive remixes, it’s all on the ice, which only adds to the fun. Don a cosy cossack hat and your warmest winter coat and take to the ice, as true Londoners do. But don’t worry if it’s not your thing, you can always hang out rink side in Tom’s Skate Lounge with a cocktail, a heart warming mulled wine or even a hot chocolate (in a Tiffany cup - the only thing to rival Starbucks red cups, I’m sure you’ll agree). After a not so graceful skate, this is where I plan to spend my time at the rink, admittedly people-watching and style-snapping. There’s also Fernandez and Wells, whose hot pudding counter is enough to satisfy a perennial sweet tooth, alongside a stellar sandwich selection, so you’re not short of hot hangouts safe from the cold ice.

If you’re still not sold, there’s always a spot of Christmas shopping to be done at the pop-up Christmas Arcade. Don’t be fooled, it’s not a traditional Christmas market, but instead a shopping mall featuring luxury favourites including Christy’s London, Tatty Devine, Handmade in Britain and more. There are plenty of fantastic interior places, so you can make your home feel as festive as you will after being at Somerset house for a few hours.

Alternatively, if you’re not really a ice skater but you’d like to be, there’s the Skate School where you can learn to dance on the ice as well as Torvill and Dean. The best thing about the Somerset House ice rink is that it’s open to all ages and abilities making it the perfect place to either gawp at the Michelle Kwan-esque skaters, chuckle at the Blades of Glory pairings and get on the ice yourself. It really is as fun as it sounds and it does not disappoint.

One of the most romantic spots at the rink is the Tiffany and Co tree, where I’m sure numerous first dates, wedding proposals and more take place every year. My two favourite things: Tiffany and Co and Christmas, coming together in festive marital bliss and making everyone that heads up to Somerset House this Christmas feel exactly the kind of jovial spirit that we only feel at this time of year.

Day skating is best done on a Sunday followed by a divine roast dinner in Chelsea - just a suggestion for those who can’t resist a good Sunday dinner. Club Night Skates are every night from 22 December from 8-11:30pm but are a great alternative to your usual nights out in the city.

Tickets for the ice rink start at £7.50 and the rink is open from 10am every day. Limited tickets can be bought from the rink at 9:30 but to avoid disappointment book online from Ticketmaster.

Happy skating - I’ll see you on the ice!
