The Art of 2020

Rest

If you are entering 2020 feeling more than a little worn out, The Art of Rest, available from our InSpitalfields store, is the book for you.

Based on ground-breaking global research, this book challenges the fact that busyness has become a badge of honour, looking at how we should start taking rest seriously as a method of self-care and helping us to discover how.

Pamper

Going for a fresher-faced look post-party season? Let our Bourgie London salon (found in Duck & Dry) help you look good with minimal makeup. They are one of the few places in East London offering innovative Eyebrow Lamination treatments. Taking just 45 minutes and lasting 8 weeks, their Brow Lamination cultivates tames and enhances natural brows – it’s the 2020 beauty trend not to miss.

Top off your look with a simple updo or braids that will survive the gym from Duck & Dry.

Eat

If you can’t think of anything worse than sitting down for another three-course meal, let 2020 be the year you embrace informal street food dining. Eat as little (or as much) as you like in our street food destination The Kitchens, where you will find 10 of East London’s most exciting food traders.

Train

Specialists in a cross-training method based in the principles of Hot Yoga and extended to Strength, Cycle, Barre and Ballet, their intro offer allows you to experience unlimited classes for 7 days for just £34.
