Babylon at Kensington Roof Gardens runs charity event allowing diners to pay what they want

Mondays are pretty depressing at the best of times but no more so than in January.

So it's good news that the Babylon Restaurant at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, is letting diners pay what they want for their lunch or dinner next Monday, 25 January.

Throughout the day, all dishes including starters, main courses and desserts, will be without their usual price tag, giving diners the chance to pay what they think their meal is worth.

The sad news is that alcoholic drinks aren't included in the deal and will remain at full price. But then again it is January - the month of the New Year, new you mantra - so staying off the booze is probably not a bad thing.

Babylon is donating all proceeds made from food, beverages and tips, to Mission:Possible - the group wide fundraising scheme for Virgin staff established in support of Virgin's sponsorship of the London Marathon.

The Virgin Limited Edition team is committed to raising a total £80,000 for its four runners, including Babylon's very own award winning restaurant manager, Peter Avis.
