That's right, Mean Girls is coming to London in the form of North Shore High School's prom; get ready for a screening of the movie, themed drinks and food, alongside lots of pink props.

Mexican wrestlers and batting cages. You can find both at London's coolest rooftops but we're not here to tell you about them. We're here to tell you about Flight Club. This Victoria gem opened late last year and they have a rooftop terrace to write home about. It's got roaring fire pits, it's got bookable huts and it's got a jukebox telephone box that belts out cracking tunes (we're a massive fan of Adele's Someone Like You).
