Don’t get us wrong. We think it’s great that so many hyper-specific boutique fitness studios have sprung up everywhere, but sometimes, it’s nice to have a place you can go that does it all. Or nearly all, anyway. 1 Rebel is one of our favourite fitness studios in London. Come here for spinning, boxing, HIIT, Pilates and more. 

Inside a former Victorian warehouse in Bloomsbury is a non-profit gallery from young art lover Alex Petalas, which aims to showcase contemporary artists at pivotal moments in their career. Previous solo exhibitors have included Carmen Herrera and Sarah Lucas. A little less known and all the better for it, this is one of the few galleries on our list you need to book.
