If you’re feeling creative, Design Junction run pottery throwing workshops (you get your own wheel for the whole session and the couple who run it, like lots of Hambledoners, are Winchester School of Art graduates). If you’re more of an art watcher, check out the Summer exhibition at The Arc which focuses on the Scottish Colourists.

Grab a slice at 5 Boroughs Pizza (go for the homemade hot honey topping). They’ll be playing classic hip hop and showing old basketball games on the TV. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative Open House Deli do really good salads and plenty of vegan options. Ice cream for pud at Swoon (our Jodie says get the pistachio. She used positive expletives to describe its deliciousness which we won’t repeat).
