Book your visit →More hands-on ideas around the city
A pottery or ceramics class
Throw your own bowl or paint a piece to take home — several studios across London run beginner-friendly sessions, no experience needed.
A chocolate-making workshop
Hands-on chocolate studios around the city teach tempering and truffle-making — a sweet, sociable way to spend an afternoon.
A cocktail masterclass
Learn to shake, stir and garnish like a bartender at one of London’s many mixology schools — a popular pick for groups and hen/stag dos.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter
Just outside London, walk the real sets and props from the films. Book well ahead — it sells out weeks in advance.
Sky Garden
Free, glass-domed garden 155 metres above the City with some of the best London skyline views around — advance (free) booking required.
An escape room
London has one of the world’s densest escape-room scenes — a fun, hands-on way to spend an hour with friends or colleagues.
While you're near our studio
Our studio sits at 23 Arlington Way, London, EC1R 1UR, in Clerkenwell/Islington — worth combining your visit with a walk around Myddelton Square Garden, a catch at Sadler's Wells Theatre (a short walk away), or a browse of the independent shops along Amwell Street.
