    The Concorde Club

    Grab a drink and a bite at the Moldy Fig restaurant inside The Concorde Club. This historic jazz club is the oldest of its kind under one management in the UK. Arrive early to secure a seat and enjoy the atmosphere before the crowds settle in for the evening.

  2. 16:01

    Lakeside Country Park

    Walk to Lakeside Country Park. The three large flooded holes left by gravel extraction create a striking green belt. Find a spot near the water’s edge to watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW.

  3. 16:57

    The Cricketers Arms

    End the evening at The Cricketers Arms. This traditional British pub is just a short walk from the park. Order a starter and a main to warm up after the chill of the lakeside.
