Mondays aren’t typically a popular day to head into the office, especially for those facing the post-weekend blues. But I’d think twice about writing office Mondays off! Not only are you much more likely to enjoy quieter trains (and get a seat!), but a myriad of bars, pubs and restaurants across the city offer appetising money-saving deals that would be a shame to miss!

Intrigued? We’ve compiled the top deals in London to help make your Monday’s brighter and your social-time money go further. Let’s dive in!
