Thursday 2 June 2022 By Jess Aureli
1. Jubilee afternoon tea at Shoreditch House
This Saturday, we bring the Platinum Party to the Shoreditch House Sitting Room. Expect the epitome of Britishness, with an afternoon tea featuring an array of crustless sandwiches, scones and cakes – plus, our live jazz band will be on hand to provide the tunes.

3. Soho Presents: Self Esteem at Shoreditch House
Sit back and enjoy the sounds of Rebecca Taylor – aka Self Esteem – with her unique brand of truth-telling, life-changing lyrics.
Taylor’s album, Compliments Please, debuted in 2019, giving voice to feelings of insecurity and misogyny-induced frustration. Her second album, Prioritise Pleasure, released in 2021, was nothing short of a phenomenon, receiving countless five-star reviews.

4. House Party: DJ Semtex and friends at 180 House
We’re kicking off the bank holiday weekend with a Wednesday night special featuring the legendary author and radio presenter, DJ Semtex. Originally from Manchester, he cut his teeth in clubs like The Haçienda, before going on to host multiple radio shows, including Friday nights for BBC Radio 1Xtra. Over the years, Semtex has interviewed some of the industry’s biggest rappers including Kanye West, Drake, Jay-Z, and Skepta.
