Not ready to go home just yet? Head on<br />
over to Ballie Ballerson in trendy Shoreditch<br />
– a ball pit cocktail bar with one million<br />
balls – which is fast becoming one of the<br />
most entertaining restaurants in London.<br />
The ultimate adult playground this side of a<br />
theme park, there’s a ball waterfall and some<br />
fantastic retro sweet cocktails. Be sure to try<br />
the Bubble Gum Refresher made from tequila,<br />
elderflower, black cherry and Refreshers.<br />

If small yet perfectly formed dining is for you,<br />
our first restaurant could be right up your street.<br />
At HipChips in Soho the humble potato is the<br />
star of the show. Pick your seasoning – sweet<br />
or savoury – then choose from a glorious<br />
array of dips including baba ghanoush and<br />
katsu curry. There’s even pudding dips such<br />
as campfire s’mores and chocolate salted<br />
caramel for those with a sweet tooth.<br />
For the serious throw-yourself-in-head-first<br />
ballers, there’s even an extra deep VIP pit as<br />
well as a private pit which looks straight out<br />
onto the street on two sides. Kind of like an<br />
infinity pool for big kids. Book yourself in<br />
for a bottomless pizza adult playdate now.<br />

If you’re sticking around Soho a little longer,<br />
Asian fusion restaurant Inamo brings a<br />
pioneering, tech-savvy approach to dining with<br />
interactive projections on your table surface<br />
that allow you to set the mood with a choice<br />
of virtual tablecloths and discover the local<br />
neighbourhood. You can even play retro games<br />
and watch a live chef-cam feed. And at the end<br />
of the night you can order a taxi home from the<br />
comfort of your table top.<br />
Heading back over to central London and we<br />
find ourselves in Covent Garden and in a bit of<br />
a time warp as we enter Tropicana Beach Club<br />
– a flamboyant late-night bar and restaurant<br />
and certainly one of the capital’s more unusual<br />
clubs serving up beach-style grub and tropical<br />
cocktails. You’ll be transported to a tropical<br />
paradise as the kitchen prides itself on capturing<br />
the vibrant flavours of our favourite beach<br />
restaurants from across the globe. Why not<br />
partake in the five-course sharing menu and enjoy<br />
tortilla chips, sharing starters, tacos and churros<br />
washed down with frozen strawberry daiquiri?<br />
