| | Saturday | |  | |  | | | SEE | | EAT | | Wayne Thiebaud at White Cube | | Kricket Brixton’s Last Supper | | | #UJloves the White Cube, and now we’ve got a new excuse to visit. This week marks the opening of their new exhibition, showcasing the work of American painter Wayne Thiebaud. Spanning from 1962 to the present day, the exhibition focuses on his simple subject matter and use of colour. Our tip: don’t turn up hungry.
| | Bye bye, Brixton! After two years in Pop Brixton and a successful Soho launch, Kricket say goodbye to their original shipping container home this Saturday. Wave goodbye with some Keralan fried chicken and a cocktail, and get ready to try their replacement Smoke & Salt, the pop-up hit that focuses on curing, fermenting and smoking.

St. James’s,

| | Sunday | |  | |  | | | TRY | | BOOK | | The Mondrian’s Summer Terrace | | Oxalis Residency, Platform 1 | | | It’s all about riverside views this summer, and the Mondrian’s new summer terrace is an ideal place to soak it all in Southside. Sip vodka cocktails and try fresh new dishes like giant ceviche tacos, grilled lobster with garlic butter and truffle flatbread. Don’t worry, there’s also heating in case it gets cold (and it probably will).
| | Carousel has got some south London competition as perma-pop-up Platform 1 launches their summer residency with Oxalis, a new venture from Nick Ross and Max de Nahlik (Merchants Tavern, Foleys, The Shed). British produce meets French finesse – think asparagus tortellini, onglet steak with beetroot miso and apple sorbet with poached rhubarb.
| | | | Open from 22nd May,
20 Upper Ground,
SE1 9PD
| | Until 30th September,
71 Lordship Ln,
East Dulwich,
SE22 8EP

| | BANK HOLIDAY | | | Dreamland Re-Launch | |  | | | If you feel like escaping the city altogether this bank holiday, take a trip to the seaside for the re-launch of Margate’s Dreamland. The UK’s oldest theme park has just had another overhaul and is now bigger and better than ever; think vintage rides, street food and free entry all weekend long.
