The powers that be aren’t giving away much about the plot, but there are a few things we can be sure of seeing – clothes, shoes, more clothes, cocktails, and of course, our four favourite Manhattanites!

And despite five long days of waiting ahead of us, there’s still plenty of SATC-inspired fun to be had in London in the meantime:

SATC Hits the Square Mile: Pop on your Manolos and had to City-bar Anise on Monday for a free fashion and beauty event. Pamper yourself with a range of treatments including free makeovers from Benefit Cosmetics, free mini manicures from Wah Nails, and £5 massages from Cucumba. There’ll also be fab product discounts, cocktails and canapés courtesy of the Cinnamon Kitchen. To register, send your name (and a friend’s) to events@cinnamon-kitchen.com

Sex and the City Monday at Prism: Can’t remember what happened in the last film? Head to Prism on Monday for a screening of the first Sex and the City movie. A £15 ticket also gets you a SATC-inspired cocktail and snacks. For tickets call +44 (0)20 7256 3876 or email prism.events@harveynichols.com

Sex and the City Par-Tea: After shopping like Carrie, refresh yourself with this Sex and the City afternoon tea. The tea includes sweet and savoury treats NYC-style and a selection of cocktails to choose from, including of course, Manhattans. Available from 28 May 2010 at Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill

The Hummingbird Bakery: Just as the girls love The Magnolia Bakery in New York, we can’t get enough of  The Hummingbird Bakery‘s scrumptious cupcakes here in London. Yes, you have to queue, but they’re worth waiting for!

The Village at Westfield: Sex and the City is all about love and labels! Let Prada, Dior, Jimmy Choo and Gucci take care of the latter at the West London shopping destination.

Sex and the City 2 opens 27 May. London cinema times
