Looking for exhibitions, events, new bars or restaurants. Anywhere really but things you'd say are amazing?

Outernet London by Tottenham Court Road tube station is free and very funky. Definitely worth a look if you are in the Oxford St / Tottenham Ct Rd area.

Coal Drop Yard by King's Cross is another great space to wander around. Always loads going on.

Battersea Powerstation is another great place to just have a look around. Again always loads going on. If you like a cocktail, this bar overlooks Battersea Power Station - https://www.joiabattersea.co.uk/perola-bar/

V&A has a free lunchtime lecture on Thursday about William Morris.

Perola Bar | JOIA Battersea

Perola is the new destination cocktail bar set on the 14th floor of art’otel London Battersea.

I did an architectural tour of the Barbican yesterday. It was so interesting.

My SIL saw a samurai exhibition at the British museum yesterday and said it was very good.

Yes, I was about to say that.

It has also been really nice in St James's Park in the spring sunshine in the last week or so.

Thoroughly recommend the Hunger Games stage show in Canary Wharf. It was brilliant.

ABBA voyage …absolutely mind blowing. It is by the Olympic Park so lots to explore.
