November invites us to slow down, layer up and share moments together so embrace our enfants hotlist before December mania begins.
SIGN YOUR TEENS UP HERE The Outpost
Teens are often ignored when it comes to kids’ clubs (when travelling or on home turf) and members’ clubs — but that changes now. A fresh chapter begins for junior members at NEXUS Club London with the launch of The Outpost. Developed in partnership with sister club Purple Dragon, The Outpost provides a vibrant programme and dedicated spaces that celebrate the growing independence of members aged 8 – 17, as part of the newly opened family members Nexus Club London. Right opposite the main building you’ll find this ideal space for pre-teens and teens. As soon as you enter, kids’ phones are locked into mini glass lockers, so the emphasis is on socialising – on their own terms. The Outpost provides a lively social hub offering everything from pool, table tennis, dart showdowns and iWall challenges (ideal as a conversation ice-breaker) to an Art Bar, classic games, a music and a podcast studio. Plus, there’s an entire programme of activities to book from golf academy to mini jam sessions to e-gaming, to teen gym sessions. Think of it like their own little den, to hang out and be their friends. Plus, with Nexus Club locations opening up globally, its an investment you’ll want to make as your kids grow and expand their minds, friend circles and experiences.
LOUNGE IN THIS Desmond & Dempsey Kids
Once upon a time, Desmond & Dempsey made pyjamas for kids. But (as all good bedtime stories go) the kids’ collection was tucked in for a little nap. After a long and cosy rest, D&D kids is back. Mini-me versions of some of their most iconic styles and prints are available online now, all unisex and perfectly soft against sensitive skin for a perfect night’s sleep. From sleepsuits to matching flannel sets, classic jimjams have been shrunk down, tailored for little bodies and made with the same attention to detail as the grown-ups range. Soft cotton, gentle elastic, corozo buttons and 100% cotton brand labels for all the kids. From babies, to kids, to adults, the whole family can match this festive season and beyond.
COSY UP HERE The Film House, art’otel London Hoxton
As days get darker and London gets colder, art’otel London Hoxton has launched the perfect indoor escape: the Film House, a hidden cinema with a curated programme of cult classics and family favourites. With popcorn, snacks and drinks from the Gallery Bar, it’s an easy, cosy way to spend a winter weekend, whether it’s a relaxed date night or a family afternoon away from the cold. November programme highlights include family favourites like Encanto, The Grinch, Coco, Tangled and Home Alone, and they have Saturday and Sunday morning screenings. Book a relaxed weekend brunch at The Brush Grand Café on the ground floor for a warm, relaxed stop after the screening. Plus, if its date night you’re looking for, enjoy cult classics like Dirty Dancing, The Godfather, La La Land and Love Actually.
