Part of a co-dependant, emotionally stunted dysfunctional group dynamic? Get down to Central Perk for some coffee with its stupid big cups which may as well have nipples on them.

When I got sent a message about this today, I lol’ed it off, because I didn’t believe it or I was still half asleep. I go with the latter.

But it’s true, it’s really true. Capitalising on the growing pop-up culture of boutiques and shops, Central Perk has popped up in Berwick Street in Soho to celebrate Friends 15th Anniversary.

You can get a free coffee by downloading a voucher from here. But mind you, you probably won’t get a chance to sit on that famous orange sofa and enjoy it, since the place will be teeming with people and press. Famous props will also be display, including the turkey which took pride of place on both Joey and Monica’s heads.

Recreate your favourite scenes from the ‘Perk. My favourite, is the One with the Boobies if you can’t tell from the above quote is where Phoebe breaks up with Roger the psychiatrist in Central Perk.
