Everyman

Those who have been yearning for the sumptuous sink-in sofas and having food and wine delivered to your seat – its ‘Spielburgers’ are a must-try – need not wait any longer as Everyman Canary Wharf is now open. Reimagining the cinema experience, watch the latest blockbusters at its Crossrail Place location. With long-anticipated releases including American drama Nomadland – a tale of a widow who leaves her Nevadan hometown and travels around America – to Minari, which follows a Korean-American family who move to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of the American Dream, there’s plenty to draw you back to the big screen this spring/summer. What’s more, with classics such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, there’s something to entice all the family.

Electric Shuffle

Try something a little bit different this spring by playing a game of Electric Shuffle. This old-time game has been firmly brought into the 21^st century with impressive technology that identifies the exact location of the pucks on the table, automatically tallies scores and guides players through three unique games via an interactive screen. Add delicious food such as its sharing pizzas and its frozen cocktails including Blue Electron and Pink Proton into the mix to make for an unforgettable social experience – just what we have all been craving.
