Sunday Pub Quiz

Orbit Beers runs a weekly quiz where the prize, £50 in bar credit, actually matters enough that people come to win. It's not serious enough to be unfun, but serious enough that a good question lands hard. The room fills with regulars and teams of friends, which is what makes it work.

Grab food from Dragon Flame BBQ, who run roast dinners from midday. That window works if you want to land here early and stretch the afternoon into the evening. It's the kind of thing London still does well: a room, a quiz, people who showed up to think a bit.
