Attempted power grabs, negotiations that yield little results, and a whole lot of division, no, we’re not talking about Brexit, but the final season of Game of Thrones. From the queen of sass himself, The Hound, through to ultimate snake Littlefinger, the show has brought us an eight-year roller coaster of scheming baddies, deceptive goodies, and a whole lot of dead horses. Strap in and sit tight as the final series is due to air this April, and rather than sit in a darkened room watching episode after episode, get out there and make the most of the final fling, with our pick of London’s best Game of Thrones events.
For the foodie fan: A’ Feast of Thrones’
Admittedly, sitting down for dinner has never had a happy ending in the hit HBO show (Robb Stark and co, looking at you), but smart City-based The Jugged Hare is here to change that. The renowned pub is cooking up a feast with five GoT-inspired courses, from the boar that allegedly killed Robert Baratheon through to Dornish wine to accompany each plate. To finish it off, there’ll be a nip of Johnny Walker’s White Walker whisky to wash it down; sounds positively charming...
City pub Jugged Hare is putting on a feast fit for any self-professed king.

Along with Hodor’s posthumous appearance as a DJ, the immersive event will feature a sword-swinging Jon Snow, a replica Iron Throne, and a few stray White Walkers might even turn up for the 1800-strong party.

The sexy take: Dragons & T*tt*es: Seven Kingdom Challenge
