| | | This is not a drill: free beer is coming | | Did you spend your 2020 birthday shut indoors, sadly cheersing yourself in front of a webcam? We feel you, pal. The curse of Lockdown Birthday affected us too. On the upside, those heroes at Fourpure are offering free pints to you and anyone else unlucky enough to be born between March 14 and September 1. Get yourself down to their mahoosive taproom on Bermondsey Beer Mile (it reopens this Saturday) and bring some kind of proof showing your date of birth. |

| Keep eating out to help out | | | | Slap. That sound you can hear? It’s people all across the city slapping their foreheads in disbelief as they look at their bill at the end of dinner. That discount goes a long way doesn’t it? We, the city of London, have fallen in love with slightly cheaper restaurant food. The good news is, a bunch of Time Out-approved places have decided to keep the scheme going into September. 2020: maybe not so bad after all. |
