A short week means only one thing: it’s almost the weekend! So whether you’re coming to Cowley with us and taking (another) long weekend, or are here in London- either way, the weekend is on its way. And with options like disco dancing at the zoo, dinner with the Disappearing Dining Club or at Nuno’s new spot, as well as cultural picks like a little Sunday jazz at the Vortex– we think you’ll be entertained. Whatever you do, have a good one.

Andy Warhol for Rosenthal
So technically these are probably meant to be hung on your wall, but there’s something so perversely enticing about eating off Marilyn Monroe’s face that we just have to have these Andy Warhol Pop Art plates. Limited to just 500 pieces, whether you want them to lend their brightness (and cultural appreciation) to your wall or table, as a limited edition run of just 500 pieces you’re just going to have to race us to ’em.
£89 from Vessel Gallery. |

BOOK AHEAD
Summer Series at Somerset House
A few weeks ago, when the full-line up for this year’s Summer Series at Somerset House was announced, the gig menu seemed plentiful enough that we didn’t bother booking anything just yet. A buncr'h of this years dates have already sold out (you can kiss goodbye to Eels, Blondie and Ellie Goulding) but there are still tickets available for electronica legends Lamb – which makes us rather happy. Other remaining highlights include Professor Green and Imelda May, but whatever tickles your fancy, we suggest you move fast!
Somerset House, Strand, London, WC2R 1LA. Lamb play July 16, 8pm. £22.50-£35 |
