Huckster will convey the feel of a bustling, urban market where diners will be able to dine on a selection of New York street food and get merry on a selection of exceptional cocktails and American craft beer.

BLOK Rooftop Boxing

BLOK has teamed up with Mondrian London and Innermost for a summer fitness series that is perfect now that the sun firmly has his hat on. The chosen space for the Summer Sweat Series is the vibrant rooftop lounge, Rumpus Rooms. Why? Because the space lends itself perfectly to summer morning workouts thanks to its panoramic views of the London skyline. BLOK is kicking things off this Saturday 23 with a 60-minute high-energy boxing class, choreographed to a live DJ set and followed by brunch and an Innermost smoothie.

Tickets from £29, available here.

Each Toki Highball will be crafted by Suntory brand ambassador, Zoran Peric and will feature hand-carved ice in keeping with the true Japanese bartending tradition.

The bar will be open on a first-come, first-served basis on Thursday 21, Friday 22 and Saturday 23 between 16:00 and 22:00 in Shoryu, Soho. Shoryu is also offering a 15% discount on noodles and Toki Highballs, allowing guests to further immerse themselves in all things Japanese.
