Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.

We’re closing out our first season with a bang as we’re joined by Emma Sayle, founder of the iconic sex-positive community Killing Kittens. In this refreshingly unfiltered chat, Emma talks about sexual empowerment, the fine line between choice and performance in the age of social media, and how true confidence in the bedroom can translate to power in the boardroom. We unpack some of her wildest stories, including a particularly memorable London Fashion Week party involving a roomful of supermodels and how she ended up using a notorious venue run by a now-jailed socialite.

Emma also takes us through her London little black book. She shares her love for the South Bank’s riverside views and food stalls, the late-night chaos of Pagliaccio on Wandsworth Bridge Road, and her go-to date spot Gordon’s Wine Bar, where the candlelit cellar and overflowing charcuterie boards never miss. For something a little more under the radar, she recommends CellarDoor, a tiny cabaret club tucked beneath Aldwych that looks like a public toilet from the outside but hosts unforgettable drag and live shows inside. Her pet peeve? People spending their weekends doomscrolling, or worse, going to silent discos.

In this week’s Go-To Recs, Molly shouts out the Black Horse BMIs who are throwing a party to celebrate their third birthday with pop-up bars and music all weekend. We’ve also got a tip for your hungover Sunday: David Attenborough’s new ocean series, which is both soothing and staggering as he explores life beneath the surface. And Emma gives us a peek at the return of KK Cabaret, a decadent dinner and cabaret experience hosted in a country mansion near Bracknell - think three-course feasts, live performances, and a touch of erotic flair.

This is our final episode of the season, but we’ll be back in mid-June with more spicy summer hangouts and unbeatable London tips. Until then, thank you for coming along for the ride.
