Plus, give your lockdown bike some TLC and a directory for great local gifts |
| How to do Christmas via your computer (and enjoy it) | Maybe, just maybe, you still don’t feel great about getting back out there and mixing it up with London’s great unwashed. But also, maybe you want to get your Christmas stuff sorted now. Worry no more. We did a dry-run virtual Chrimbo so you don’t have to. Bring on the streaming panto and ready-to-roast turkey in the post. |

Three pubs I’ll be drinking in immediately | | Laura Richards Time Out digital director and booze expert @lala_richards |
|
Southampton Arms | Bucket list north London pub the Southampton Arms has stepped up to the Tier 2 plate, temporarily rebranding as The Noodles Arms. It’s yet to confirm if that just means a Pot Noodle with your pint. Pub purists, we’re told pork baps will still be available. |
| The Ivy House | We’re all craving community feels right now. That’s why I’ll be seeking out a round of south London beers at The Ivy House – Nunhead’s co-op pub is run by its locals. Sunday is the day to visit for a slap-up roast. |
| The High Cross | Although all this scotch-egg chat is starting to wear a bit thin, I’m still obsessed with the egg-inside-meat-inside-bread behemoth served at Tottenham pub and former public toilet The High Cross. Book a table and show it some love. |
