Beat The Heat

Beat the Heat: Your Guide to Staying Cool This Summer

2025 has certainly kept us on our toes with the weather – but one thing’s for sure, it’s been gloriously sunny. With one of the warmest and driest springs on record, it’s safe to say we’re in for a sizzling summer. Not to worry, though – we’ve rounded up some of our favourite ways to keep cool, stay stylish, and enjoy the sunshine to the fullest.

Sip, Sip, Hooray!

If there’s one golden rule this summer, it’s hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Make drinking on the go chic with the endlessly popular Stanley Cups from Oliver Bonas. They are not only one of the top trending products, but they also keep your drinks cold for up to 12 hours, or even two whole days if you’ve got ice in the mix. A summer essential? Absolutely.

Lunch with a Side of Sunshine

What’s better than lunch? Lunch with a view of St. Pancras International. Head over to The Betjeman Arms for the perfect spot to soak up the sun with a refreshing drink and a bite to eat. And when the breeze picks up? No worries – just pop back inside and carry on the good vibes.

We All Scream for Ice Cream!
Spring in the UK has brought soaring temperatures, reaching highs of 30°C. And what better way to cool down than with bingsu at Sushinoya?

Bingsu is a beloved Korean dessert made with finely shaved ice, flavoured with soft, creamy ice cream, and topped with an array of sweet treats like fresh fruit and biscuits. It’s the perfect way to beat the heat – and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time.

Throw Some Shade 

When the sun’s out, your sunnies should be too. Treat yourself to a new pair from Accessorize – offering full UV protection without skimping on style. Whether you’re into classic aviators, vintage frames, or sporty designs, they’ve got just the pair to keep your eyes safe and your look on point.

Cool Down with a Matcha Moment

Fancy something a bit different? Try an iced matcha from Benugo.  Their cherry matcha is the ultimate summer sip – a creamy blend with a fruity twist that’ll have you walking on sunshine (even if you’ve had a long day).

Don’t Skip the SPF

Forgot your sunscreen? No problem – Boots at St. Pancras has you covered. From travel-sized SPFs and kids’ essentials to health must-haves and more, it’s the perfect place to stock up and stay safe under the sun.

So whether you’re basking in the sun or chasing the shade, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this beautiful weather in style. Stay cool, stay safe – and don’t forget your sunnies!
