Bassoon

New Orleans heads across the pond at Bassoon. Located in London's newly revamped Corinthia Hotel, the bar mixes moody caramel hues with jazz-inspired paintings and art deco styling to create a 1920s-inspired lounge in the UK capital. But the Big Easy isn't just in the aesthetics. The cocktail list pays homage to the southern city with clever twists on local classics like the Julep, Sazerac, and the Ramos Gin Fizz, which are all served across a 7-foot piano bar. Since it wouldn't be New Orleans without live music, the venue regularly pairs their drinks with the soulful sounds of local blues and jazz performers.

Banksy's Greatest Hits: 2002-2008

With most of Banksy's artwork being limited to alleyways and bridges, gallery exhibits are a rare event. Until now. Dubbed Banksy's Greatest Hits: 2002-2008, the show is featuring some of the notoriously anonymous artist's most iconic works ranging from stenciled canvases to limited edition prints. Although Banksy himself isn't behind the exhibition, it's being curated by dealer Steve Lazarides who served as the graffitist's official photographer and gallerist during the time the pieces were created. The installation is being held at London's Lazinc and will run until August 15, 2018.

Pollution Pods

Get acquainted with pollution from around the world in the latest installation from Michael Pinksy. Located at London's Somerset House, the artist recreated environments from some of the most contaminated cities on the globe throughout five geodesic domes. The first pod simulates the pure, crisp air of Tautra island in Norway. As guests travel through the exhibit, the atmospheres change, replicating the tainted conditions found in London, New Delhi, Beijing, and São Paulo. He even went as far as to duplicate hazy smogs and the scent of Living Diesel. The Pollution Pods were commissioned by Norwegian University of Science and Technology in an effort to raise awareness about climate change.

Bubbledogs

Located in the Bloomsbury area of London, Bubbledogs is proving that opposites attract. The 35-seat restaurant is coupling exclusive grower Champagnes with American-style dogs. But these aren't your average franks. They're dressing up the ballpark staple with toppings worthy of its high-end pairing. Starting with a pork, beef, or veggie sausages that are crafted by their on-site butcher, each dish is served on a fresh-baked bun and smothered with made-from-scratch condiments like truffle mayo, whipped feta, and fresh tomato salsa. Items of the non-hot dog variety include sloppy tots, Thai sticky and maple chipotle wings, and Frickles with ranch sauce.
