If you only do one thing this weekend, be sure it includes a trip to The International Horse Show at Olympia, which is running right through until Monday 21st December 2015.

Christmas is a great time to have a good glass of fizz or flat to accompany your meal, greet your guests with or relax into the night after a truly festive day. And this year your table can be pretty in pink with the wonderful selection of rosé wines that are now readily available.

The Metro Restaurant and Bar, on Basil Street in Knightsbridge, is tucked away below pavement level, just a stone's throw from Harrods department store and offers the dining experience you would expect, to the Knightsbridge 'standard' - both in terms of the level of quality in the food and drink served and the stylish decor.

It is an exceptionally popular show for visitors, and the range of stands on offer is as varied as it is in volume but what really stands out, for us, at the BBC Good Food Show London is the chance to discover emerging companies and products, and revisit old favourites too.

Sexpo™, the world's largest sexual health and lifestyle exhibition will be landing in the UK for the very first time ever from the 13th to 15th November 2015 at London Olympia. This adult only show (persons under the age of 18 will not be permitted entry) is more than just a good excuse to talk sex and enjoy some entertainment, there is a whole show of education involved too!

Every year we hope to find something new at The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show; a stand-out-from-the crowd tipple that will hold us deep in conversation, something to convert a brandy drinker into a possible enthusiast. And this year that title fell to the Bruichladdich Octomore.
