Just like that, October is here – and we’re officially three quarters of the way through 2019. A time characterised by bronze leaves, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and the long build up to Halloween, the tenth month of the year is unsurprisingly a favourite amongst many – so we’re never short of ways to stay entertained. From rounding off an awesome summer with lagers and tapas on Somerset House Terrace, to getting your flow on to an awesome R&B playlist, these five events are definitely worth marking in your calendar.

1) LAST CHANCE FOR LAGER: Somerset House Terrace w/ San Miguel

There’s a lot of partnerships that we’re really into – Ben and Jerry, Wallace and Gromit, and Thelma and Louise, to name a few – but the one that’s taken the trophy for us this year has definitely been the beautiful summer romance between scenic Somerset House Terrace, and the kings of lager, San Miguel. Going out from the terrace with a bang this weekend, head along for your last chance to enjoying the lively, Mediterranean atmosphere, and sip on San Miguel’s famous Bilbao beer, which has been expertly paired with a tapas menu by executive head chef, Angel Zapata Martin from Barrafina.

When? ***Closing this week*** Open Monday to Saturday, 12:00pm – Late

Where? Somerset House Terrace, Strand, London WC2R 1LA
