'High Rise' in a High Rise
That Rotunda's turning 53
The Rotunda is 53 years old, but it had a rather required face-lift ten years ago and it's that anniversary being celebrated by the serviced apartment team that tend the top five floors: Staying Cool. To mark a decade of watching over us, they're putting on a series of eventsy, screeningy, foody and arty hullabaloos that could see YOU penthouse-bound. Our highlight — although it's a close call — is a collab with The Electric Cinema in which a select few will get to watch Tom Hiddleston's 2015 dystopian drama High Rise, 81 metres up. If extraordinary food is more your thang then The Wilderness's chef patron Alex Claridge will be dancing the tango on the tongues of ten competition winners, with his wicked-good creations, while a weirdly wonderful Columbo-themed night ties the tower's original date of birth to proceedings. There's plenty more going on and for all the latest info, or to register interest, head here.
