FOOD: Try London Shell Co
A four course tasting menu with paired wines will be served aboard the My Fair Lady as she cruises from Camden Lock to Little Venice and back at this intriguingly-named floating supper club. Despite being on the Regent’s Canal, the focus is on the Basque country courtesy of new chef Oscar Humphreys, who’s spent the last six years at top Soho restaurants like Barrafina, Bocca di Lupo and Pollen Street Social. November dates are 12th, 13th, 19th & 20th. Tickets priced at £60 here. Doors at 7pm for a 7.30pm departure. Email: hello@londonshellco.com

Plus an “aftershow” drink-up at Malden Road’s elegant new boozer the Gipsy Queen. Saturday 14th November 130-430pm. Free entry. Mansfield Road NW3
