Late night REVLers will enjoy this 12.30am live jazz performance by London band, Kansas Smittys. Usually found in their Columbia Road basement bar, the jazz band are upping sticks and taking over the stage at Old Street speakeasy, Nightjar. Entry is a meagre £5 on the door, and the night promises the perfect after-hour start to a long weekend.
It’s that time of the year again. Six Nations are dominating our screens for the next six weeks. Kicking off this Saturday, there’s a handful of pubs and bars across the city hosting screenings of all the matches including The Star of Bethnal Green, The White Swan in Holborn, The Well in Clerkenwell and The London Beer Factory in South East London.
Ready to rummage? Then Hackney Flea Market is the best place to start. Head to Stoke Newington to shop an eclectic selection of vintage, second-hand, salvaged or one-of-a-kind gems. This monthly fair also includes homemade goods and sweet treats. You’re bound to pick up a bargain or two.
If you’re looking for cut-price comedy then Soho Theatre is usually the best place to start, especially in the lead up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. British comic, Stephen K Amos however, has opted to take his new material to North Finchley’s Arts Depot. And for £18, we reckon the laughs are worth a journey north.
Tuck into some of the finest street food London has to offer at Dinerama this weekend. Shoreditch’s saviour to rumbling tums after a few after-work pints is back and promising ‘toasty indoor vibes’ for those feeling the chill. They’re also hosting a Superbowl party on Sunday. The £10 ticket price also include two drinks. Winner.

Celebrate the Chinese Year of the Rooster at The Magical Lantern Festival at Chiswick House & Gardens. The trail will lead you on a journey through the Silk Road, fusing art, heritage and culture. The perfect date night outing, just make sure you wrap up warm!
Catch all of the Superbowl action live this Sunday at London’s newest music venue, Omeara. Owned by a member of The Mumford and Sons, this South London hot-spot is housed in a railway arch giving you the perfect hideaway to see all of the highlights as they happen.
Spend an evening in the company of the Philharmonia Orchestra to end your weekend on a cultured high. Celebrating Steven Spielberg’s 70th birthday, Royal Festival Hall will be overflowing with scores from his most prolific films including Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones.
