What: Secret Cinema
When: Monday, time TBC
Where: TBC
Get one of the last few tickets for London’s most unique cinema experience. For two weeks, film lovers need to dress up, and put their faith in the SC crew as what you’ll see and how you’ll see it is a complete, er, secret. Rest assured, you’ll experience a film like never before.
£22.75, register at secretcinema.org
What: Women’s Institute Craft Day
When: Saturday, 11am-4pm
Where: The Women’s Library, 25 Old Castle Street, E1 7NT
With the Women’s Institute coming back into vogue, learn from the masters at this daylong celebration of the W.I. From patchwork quilting to lacework, they might even persuade you to join up.

What: Wives and Sweethearts
When: Friday-Sunday, 10am-5.30pm
Where: National Army Museum, Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea, SW3 4HT
Don’t be put off by the name of the museum. This is a touching new exhibition about 200 years of relationships between soldiers and the wives and girlfriends they’ve left behind told via letters, photos and tokens of love.

What: Experimental Cocktail Club
When: Friday and Saturday, 6pm-late
Where: 13a Gerrard Street, Chinatown, W1D 5PS
It’s London’s sexiest new cocktail bar – part brothel chic, part French speakeasy – and if you can find it (look for a shabby old door, next to a brass plaque saying ECC) toast yourself with a very old-school Martini. Half of all tables are for walk in customers, so walk in early.
What: Story Studio
When: Sunday, 7.30pm
Where: Komedia, 44 - 47 Gardner Street, Brighton, BN1 1UN
This quirky new night promises an evening full of playlets, monologues, short films, and ‘vaudeville flash fiction’ to explore the spoken word, all on the theme, Hearth and Home.

London’s streets may not be paved with gold, but as far as I’m concerned they might as well be. I love this city I live in. It’s crazy, hectic, beautiful, cool. There’s something to do every hour of every day. Things you didn’t even know existed. Places I certainly never imagined did. And I’m a lucky girl because in my job as a writer for some of the country’s biggest magazines I get to do them before anyone else. A lucky girl who also rubbish at playing netball, in a book group that mainly talks about men, a Japanophile and scared of parrots.
