What's On in South London

Taking place at The Avenue Cookery School on South West London this October, this fun and informative experience will have you whipping up tasty Thai food. Budding chefs will get to have a crack at creating two authentic dishes, with bottomless drinks thrown in for good measure. 

Clapham is holding a Tiki secret: this amazing slice of South Pacific is waiting for you. Expect a big party and carefree spirit, and when it comes to the cocktails, you'll be treated to a wonderful range of mixed drinks made from premium spirits.

If food, drinks, art and music are your kind of vibe, this unique Peckham courtyard is the place to head. Offering a tasty selection of craft beer and cocktails, they're also known for their live events, exhibitions and street eats.

The Grand is a top choice for a night out in South London; join them for silent discos, balls, orchestras and all the pop fun you could dream of.

Head to the South London venue Rivoli Ballroom for a night with their spectacular live bands, the best jive, swing, and RnB, inexpensive drink and a true authentic 40s and 50s atmosphere.

Switch off from the chaos of London whilst getting creative at this guided art class. You'll be invited to pick up a paintbrush and get to work crafting your very own masterpiece, with a trained artist on hand to give hints and advice.

Head to Peckham Levels and into Near & Far, the import/export bar that's all about cocktails and bar snacks fusing locally sourced ingredients with imports from around the world. Outside of their offering, you can enjoy kitsch, retro interiors and panoramic views of London.

Laugh Train Home is one of the city's most popular comedy nights, and for good reason too. Always showcasing a prime selection of rising UK talent as well as favourites from the comedy circuit, you can head to Four Thieves in Battersea or The Honour Oak in Forrest Hill and enjoy a spread of incredible stand-up.

Head south of the river this month, where the beautiful Vauxhall Food & Beer Garden is tempting you to kickstart your weekend off with 90 min of free-flowing booze and entertainment from some of the finest TV and circuit comics that the UK has to offer.

There are some holes that can only be filled with an epic roast, and that's exactly what The Honor Oak in Forest Hill are doing come Sundays. The traditional and cosy pub will be serving their legendary carvery along with a hopping atmosphere of live music and a jam session in the evening.

The Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club does many things, and it does them with the charm of a Parisian jazz bar of a bygone era. The place oozes cool, which suits its line up of fantastic acts perfectly. Nearly every day they have something great on, from established jazz, soul or funk singers to open mic nights celebrating the best in up-and-coming talent – all while you sip on one of their fantastic French and New World wines.

Creative Who are taking over Streatham Wine House for a series of art workshops and masterclasses this spring. Tutored by local artists, the classes will give guests the chance to unwind and let their creative juices flow - with a glass of wine in hand, naturally.

Forbidden Nights brings London's hotest male variety show to the majestic surroundings of The Clapham Grand. Perfect for hen parties or a lively girls night out, this is an event guaranteed to get you a little hot under the collar, as a stellar line-up of performers (including a Channing Tatum lookalike and an X-Factor finalist) put on a sexy yet fun show without the need for nudity.

Thought The Prince of Wales couldn't get any better? Well, there may be a stunning rooftop, banging dancefloor and epic sound system, but now you can get a taste of Musical Bingo too. Get down to the Brixton hangout for a night of prizes, music and twists along the way.

Go south of the river this month with a trip to COLAB Theatre's latest pop-up. Taking to a mysterious location near Elephant and Castle, the immersive show promises secrets, seance, murder and betrayal.

Thursdays just got a whole lot more fun in Clapham as Lotus bar put on their huge Thirsty Thursdays. Head down for drinks after work or go for the party atmosphere with mates as the bar and club invites in DJs to play the hottest tunes until 2am - well worth the Friday hangover.
