Bombay Sapphire lights up Battersea Power Station

What’s not to like about an evening Infused With Imagination and plenty of gin? Join the lovely folk at Bombay Sapphire for a leisurely trip along the Thames, first-class entertainment and tip-top cocktails when the good ship Silver Sturgeon sets sail from the Savoy Pier to the iconic Battersea Power Station on 8th June.

Gin Genius

Those wonderful people at Beefeater sure know how to throw a party. We should know we’ve stayed up all night with them at two of their legendary 24 Hour gigs.
