| Coinciding with Savage Beauty at the V&A, SHOWstudio presents Nick Knight’s print re-imaginings of McQueen's collections.

One for photographers and fashion folk alike. |

For those working in EC2 (bankers, lawyers, creatives…), have breakfast or lunch at this new LA-inspired health café. From the open breakfast sandwiches and shots to the hot dishes such as crab cakes packed with fresh ginger, chilli and coriander and roasted ancho chilli braised beef, it all looks good. |

You Have Been Upgraded at the Science Museum |
|
| SPONSORED LISTING |
|
|
|
|
|
| Would you upgrade your body? What enhancements would you choose to make you faster, smarter or more attractive? These are the questions posed by a new festival, You Have Been Upgraded, which opens next week at the Science Museum. The festival will transport visitors to a future where an ambitious new mega-company, Unlimited Enhancement Technologies (UNET), has elevated biotechnologists to star status. In collaboration with Unlimited Theatre, visitors can meet experts, try demonstrations and see the latest technologies across four key areas: high-tech prosthetics, neural implants, brain enhancers and sense augmentation devices. |
|
|
| You Have Been Upgraded, Wednesday 25 March – Lates (adults only), 6:45-10pm, Friday 27 March (schools): 11am-3pm, 28-29 March (Saturday and Sunday): 11pm-5pm. Admission is free. |

PARTY:
STEVE LAWLER AT STUDIO 338
|
|
|
| If you haven't been to Blixen, east London’s European brasserie, there's now another reason check it out. Their sultry cocktail bar has finally opened – think dark wood, dimmed lighting and small marble tables. Try the Hedgeland, a gin-spiked spiced apple cordial, or go hard with the tequila and absinthe-based Mariachi Manhattan. |
|
As an Ibiza mainstay, Steve Lawler knows a thing or two about acid house dynamics. And this party at Studio 338 will be the closest thing you get to Ibiza without being there. The line up also includes techno maverick Mathew Jonson and underground house DJs Livio & Roby. Tickets are already on fourth release, so get in quick. |

DRINK:
VINOTECA KING’S CROSS

|
SHOP:
BALMAIN
|
|
|
| Mix up your usual Sunday breakfast at Vinoteca King’s Cross. Their USP? Breakfast wines. We suggest ordering the coddled eggs with marmite soldiers with half a bottle of Champagne NV. Not sure what wine goes with your buttermilk pancakes? The staff will help you match your breakfast. Eggs, pancakes, porridge… bubbles. Lovely. |
|
Joining the other new arrivals (Christopher Kane, Roksanda and Céline) on Mount Street, Balmain has set up its first London flagship. The store is as expected: slick, with marble tables, muted grey tones and stainless steel offsetting the ultra-glam wares. Our eyes are already on this.
