  • Hot Tub Cinema – we dive into London’s soggiest screening

    In a bid to jump on the festive bandwagon, outré film fans Hot Tub Cinema have begun a week of extra-special Christmas movies in their ultra-luxurious settings. We sent along seasoned BFFer and bubble fan Kayleigh to see if the place really lived up to the hype.

Or was this going to be more no no no than ho ho ho…?
