More things to do in London this week

With thanks to Country and Town House: 

June 26, 2026   |        Dear Reader, I'm hunkered down in my local Odeon cinema catching the latest Spielberg film with my son whose school has been closed for the past two days. We're both bunking off, finding some aircon and entertainment but the feeling isn't good (I wonder how much lower UK productivity can go!). The UK on red weather alert is distressing to say the least. The social media spats around sun killjoys perplexing and aggravating. The irony of London Climate Action Week falling on our hottest ever days shouldn't be lost (in fact, some climate events had to be cancelled – because of, er, the climate). How we act now and into the future will determine how we reconcile ourselves to this new reality. While we may feel disempowered and believe our individual choices have no impact, it's simply not true. Our money, how we spend it, where we invest it, the products and services we buy – there are brilliant choices out there. We just need to swing the balance in their favour. In the meantime, I can recommend Disclosure Day, although even sci-fi films are rather too close to reality nowadays. Perhaps we need a new escapist genre. All ideas welcome.  Lucy Cleland Editorial Director   Staying In WATCH: The Bear FX’s frenetic kitchen dramedy The Bear is back for its fifth and final season, with eight new episodes all available to binge on Disney+ this weekend. If you’ve never tuned in, here’s the lowdown: when the older brother of talented haute cuisine chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) takes his own life, he inherits his family's Italian beef sandwich shop in Chicago and leaves behind his world of Michelin-starred restaurants to run it. His brother has left a mountain of unresolved debts, a rundown kitchen and an unruly staff – but Carmy has his own pain and trauma to confront, too. Though we have been waiting a whole year for our return to Chicago’s fine dining scene, The Bear season 5 picks up the morning after season 4’s finale. Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Sugar (Abby Elliott) discover Head Chef Carmy has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them. With no money, a looming sale and a torrential storm on its way, the trio must grapple through one final service, hoping to finally earn that coveted Michelin star. Watch on Disney+   MAKE: Lemon & Gin Semifreddo Semifreddo, the Italian dessert whose name translates as ‘half frozen,’ is in the realm of mousse-meets-ice cream, using whipped cream, eggs and sugar to create a softer texture than traditional frozen puds. Unlike ice cream, it doesn’t need any churning (hooray!) making it ideal for summer days – especially for get-togethers as it can be made in advance.   Serves 6-8 Ingredients: 4 large eggs, separated  100g caster sugar  300ml double cream  200g lemon curd  Finely grated zest of 2 lemons  2 tbsp fresh lemon juice  50ml gin  Pinch of sea salt  Crushed amaretti biscuits, to serve  Thin strips of lemon zest, to garnish Method: Line a 1kg loaf tin with cling film, leaving enough overhang to cover the top.  Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar together until pale and thick.  In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks, then fold into the yolk mixture along with the lemon curd, lemon zest, lemon juice and gin.  In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of sea salt until stiff peaks form. Fold gently into the lemon mixture until fully combined.  Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Cover with the overhanging cling film and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight ideally.  Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving and turn out onto a serving plate, finish with lemon zest.  Slice thickly and serve immediately. Recipe from Waitrose   READ: This Story About The Ultimate Spice Girls Collection C&TH Partnership The latest campaign from British brand Banham aims to highlight the wonderfully British, eccentric collections we keep under lock and key. Take Liz West, for instance: owner of a World Record-holding collection of more than 5,000 pieces of Spice Girls memorabilia. ‘I grew up in a house with bookshelves full of books, records, CDs, and objects en masse. It was in my psyche and instinct to be a collector’ Liz explains. ‘And when I fell in love with the Spice Girls in the late nineties, I was at a really impressionable age. For me, building a collection brought me closer to my idols.’ Now a practising artist, Liz traces her obsession with colour and light directly back to the bright sequins and spectacle of nineties pop. ‘As a child, I was captivated by the colourful kitsch, bright sequins, sparkle of the merchandise and the memorabilia,’ she reflects. ‘Now, as an artist, I’ve realised that my aesthetic is completely the colours of the nineties’. With this summer marking the 30-year anniversary of the chart-topping Wannabe, and whispers of a Spice Girls reunion circulating, there’s never been a better time to read Liz’s story. Going Out SWIM: At Canary Wharf’s New Lido When London gets toasty, the best way to cool down is by heading to one of the city’s lidos. New for 2026 is Canary Wharf’s Sea Lanes, a natural, Olympic-sized pool located in the north-west corner of Eden Dock. Filled with filtered dock water – which will be continually tested to meet ‘Excellent’ EU Bathing Standards – it was built in response to increased demand for outdoor swimming in the city. After a dip, enjoy some R&R in one of the wood-fired saunas before grabbing a bite to eat in the on-site cafe. sealanescanarywharf.co.uk SHOP: Festival Fashion At Reloved Market Summer calendar filling up with festivals and concerts?

This weekend, scope out some inspiration at Westfield Stratford City, which has partnered with Shelter to launch festival fashion pop-up Reloved Market. Curated by stylists to some of the biggest stars in music – including Lorenzo Posocco, the man behind Dua Lipa’s wardrobe – the pop-up will host second-hand fashion picks, vintage edits and a huge preloved marketplace. Throughout the weekend, shoppers can browse the rails to the sounds of a rotating lineup of DJ sets and performances from emerging UK talent, including Nadia Rose, Aaron Rowe, Cody Frost and Kyra, bringing all the festival vibes needed ahead of the season. And best of all? Every purchase will go directly toward Shelter’s mission to defend the right to a safe home. Free to attend, 25-28 June. westfield.com  BOOK: A Weekender At Teffont House For your next staycation, we’d suggest the sprawling countryside of Wiltshire.

June 25, 2026   |        Staying In How To Host In The Heat If you’re hosting a garden party during the heatwave and are panicking about melting during prep, fear not. We asked expert events planner Matthew Shaw to share some top tips for keeping your cool when hosting a scorching al fresco dinner. ‘When temperatures in the UK are soaring above 25°C in the evenings, now is not the time for a multi-course hot roasted dish affair,’ Matthew says. ‘Cold, seasonal and fresh dishes should be your go-to. Think colourful salads, mezze platters, or grilled skewers. If serving dessert, consider sorbets, fruits or tarts.’ He adds, ‘if you are serving some form of cooked food, the main thing to remember is that a lot of food does not need to be piping hot,’ Matthew adds. ‘It’s OK if your food has sat and cooled a little.’ Ensure your guests are comfortable, too, by positioning seating under trees, or using parasols or gazebos. ‘You can also add a few strategically placed fans at key positions, or place handheld ones in a basket, which can make all the difference. Depending on the theme of your event or dinner, you could also consider custom fans, which adds a little extra element and can make your event all the more special.’ Find Matthew’s full guide here. Going Out See The Tate’s Frida Kahlo Exhibition Frida Kahlo, Untitled [Self-portrait with thorn necklace and hummingbird], 1940. (Nickolas Muray Collection of Mexican Art) What turns an artist into an icon? This summer, the Tate Modern answers that question through 30 of Frida Kahlo’s works and more than 200 objects that trace how her image, legacy and persona have been appropriated, reinterpreted and celebrated across generations. Opening today, Frida: The Making of an Icon is already the highest pre-selling exhibition in the Tate’s history. As assistant curator Beatriz García-Velasco tells C&TH: ‘Frida: The Making of an Icon looks at how Frida Kahlo became one of the most recognisable artists of the 20th century. It is not a traditional retrospective, but a contextual, historical investigation into the phenomenon of Fridamania: how her work, image and persona have been appropriated, reinterpreted and celebrated across generations, and the extraordinary hold she has had on successive artists, activists and communities around the world. The show traces that posthumous journey from a relatively little-known Mexican painter during her lifetime to a global cultural icon.’ Read the full interview here. Until 3 January 2027 at the Tate Modern, general admission £25pp. tate.org.uk Property Of The Day Formal out front, party out back, this Chichester townhouse is the perfect blend of old and new.

Intrigued? Here’s a look inside. Whatever You Do, Don’t Skip protein during a heatwave. ‘Many people naturally gravitate towards lighter meals in hot weather, which is completely normal,’ says nutritionist Kim Pearson. ‘The problem is that some end up eating little more than fruit, ice cream and snacks, leaving them feeling hungry and lacking energy later in the day. Protein remains important year round for maintaining muscle mass, supporting satiety and helping stabilise blood sugar.’   Subscription Offer Sign up for 12 print issues and instant access to every digital edition for only £39

June 23, 2026   |        Staying In Eat These Hydrating Foods Melting? Swerve cooking in the oven and prioritise hydrating, fresh foods instead. During a heatwave, your body must work harder to regulate temperature so heavy meals and dehydrating drinks hit harder than usual, private chef Barry D’Arcy (founder of Ocean Earth Chefs) tells us. ‘A lot of people mistake sluggishness or headaches as purely heat-related when, in reality, what they are eating and drinking throughout the day is playing a major role as well.’ He adds, ‘you generally feel better eating foods that feel lighter and fresher rather than overly rich or dense. People also forget that the body naturally loses around 300 to 500ml of water vapour a day through breathing alone, before you even factor in sweating during hot weather.’ Some of the most hydrating foods out there are cucumber, tomatoes, watermelon, courgettes, celery and mushrooms. Going Out Watch The Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic Tennis season is well and truly upon us – but before you get excited for Wimbledon, set your sights instead on The Hurlingham Club, which is set to host the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic for its 32nd edition. And there’s a serious lineup of tennis stars returning to the club’s courts: alongside British No. 1 Cameron Norrie and three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, the bill includes the likes of Casper Ruud, Flavio Cobolli, Karen Khachanov and Luciano Darderi. While the players will be drumming up plenty of excitement, off the court visitors can also enjoy fine dining experiences (with a menu curated by Michelin-starred chef Paul Ainsworth), champagne receptions and even intimate Q&A sessions with event athletes. 23-27 June, tickets available now. giorgioarmanitennisclassic.com  Property Of The Day Jane Austen’s favourite brother Henry lived at 24 Upper Berkeley Street in Marylebone from 1801 to 1804 – with the plaque out front commemorating its connection to the Austen family. A familiar address for fans of Sense & Sensibility, it’s said that Jane’s visits to the street inspired the novel’s setting. Now transformed into a short-let residence, this is the perfect base to explore Austen’s favourite London haunts. Available to rent for £28,000 per week, sothebysrealty.co.uk Little Luxury Rosé season has well and truly arrived, and this summer we’ll be sipping Madame ‘B’: the new launch from Damien Hirst and Château La Coste.

One way is by donning Whoop bands: screen-free trackers which FIFA has approved to be worn during matches.

June 23, 2026   |      For over 30 years the Bamford family’s coastal wine estate in Provence, Château Léoube, has been flying the flag for organic, eco-minded viticulture. And now, this commitment has been recognised with B Corp certification – a prestigious accolade granted to businesses with high standards of social and environmental performance. As founder Carole Bamford says, the achievement ‘recognises the integrity of our organic practices, as guided by our winemaker, Romain Ott, and reinforces our longstanding commitment to sustainable viticulture: nurturing the soil, preserving artisan traditions, protecting our terroir and above all, working in harmony with nature.’ The certification was marked with a special lunch event held at Hide in Mayfair. And, as a B Corp ourselves, C&TH is always keen to celebrate brands who are making impressive headway in the sustainability space, so we’ve partnered with Château Léoube on a Staying In / Going Out special. Read on for ideas of how and where to drink its organic wine – just in time for summer. Staying In Host An Al Fresco Dinner There are few things in life more glorious than sipping crisp wine and eating delicious food with friends in the garden at golden hour. So why not make the most of this warm weather by hosting a summer shindig, whether that’s an intimate dinner with your nearest and dearest or a bigger drinks gathering. Treat your guests to Château Léoube wine – rosé is the obvious choice for summer, with both still and sparkling available (the Sparkling Love is a winner for special celebrations). But Léoube’s Blanc wine is also lovely for this time of year, with its fresh taste and floral aromas. Pair with a seasonal spread of salads and pastas, or fire up the BBQ. Going pink? Here are some ideas for pairing dishes. Going Out Try Léoube At One Of These Hotspots Prefer to leave the hosting and cooking to the professionals? Léoube is also sold in a number of bars, restaurants and hotels around the UK. Head to five-star London hotel The Lanesborough for a glass of Léoube Rosé on its sunny terrace just off Hyde Park Corner, paired with a lobster roll and French fries – the ultimate treat. Or you could book a table at French brasserie Café Francois in Borough Market: stop by for L’apero hour to enjoy Mediterranean-inspired sharing plates with a carafe of rosé. Craving Japanese food? Léoube’s Love & Secret rosés are also on offer at Sticks ‘n’ Sushi restaurants nationwide. All these spots will transport you to the idyllic shores of Provence… but if you’ve got a few days to spare, nothing beats lunch at the actual Léoube HQ. Cafe Léoube is the estate’s chic beachside restaurant serving dishes made using organic ingredients grown at the on-site market garden (plus plenty of wine, naturally). Little Luxury Secret de Léoube Rosé should be your drink of choice this summer. Created to elevate the rosé category, it’s popular with sommeliers and wine writers and is perfect for those aforementioned outdoor events – particularly when served in magnums. It pairs especially well with sushi, sashimi and smoked salmon. £33, daylesford.com Psssst… The process of becoming a B Corp is no mean feat. To apply for certification, a business must answer 300 questions that span labour, environmental impact, ethics and governance, their social initiatives and what their goalposts are for the next few years. Then, once a brand has completed the questions (plus backed it up with supporting evidence), B Lab (that’s B Corp’s non-profit offshoot) will scrutinise, assess and give the brand a score out of 200. If a brand reaches 80 or above then they’re B Corp Certified – but any lower and they miss the mark. With a score of 92.7, Léoube passed with flying colours. Whatever You Do, Don’t Serve your rosé too cold. Granted, no-one likes a lukewarm glass of wine, but according to experts many of us are drinking rosé up to seven degrees too cold – the optimum temperature is between 7 – 13°C. Serving wine too cold can mute its fruity flavours and hide some of the aromas, so it’s best to take it out of the fridge about 15 to 30 minutes before drinking to ensure it’s not overchilled. You can always have ice cubes on hand for guests who want it that little bit cooler.   Subscription Offer Sign up for 12 print issues and instant access to every digital edition for only £39

June 22, 2026   |        Staying In Read My Life With Wolves by Rick McIntyre Add My Life With Wolves to your summer reading list. Wolves generally get a bad rap – the villain at the door in fairy tales, the eyes in the dark in Jack London; metaphors for everything we fear. Rick McIntyre has spent 10,000 dawns watching wolves through a spotting scope at Yellowstone. His retirement since 2018 has consisted of taking afternoons off to rewrite the script and show us how similar they are to us. My Life With Wolves is sold as his memoir, but he can’t keep the scope on himself for long – within a few chapters he’s back to recounting their stories of love, jealousy, courage and revenge. He ends with the wolf-hunter who put down his rifle after reading McIntyre’s books. Do the same, and when your dog whimpers in the night, you’ll know what it's dreaming. My Life With Wolves is out now (Greystone Books), review by Peter Phelps. Going Out Book A Trip To Glebe House’s New Cabins Craving a foodie staycation? Book a stay at one of the new cabins at Devon’s Glebe House. Though Michelin recently announced that it would discontinue its Green Stars, few places felt more deserving of this accolade than this boutique hotel. Head chef and co-owner Hugo Guest’s restaurant uses produce, meats and fish from practically a grab away – including its own pork and beef reared on-site – in a superlative daily set menu. This uncompromising farm-to-fork ethos attracts weekend visitors from all over the country, put up in the main house’s cosy bedrooms. Its new cabins opened earlier this year and are total countryside idylls. They’re named the Crow’s Nests and situate you in privacy a moment from the house. The wooden cabins are charming: cheerfully-decorated with throws in sunny shades of orange and yellow, fresh-cut Sweet Williams vased on the table, and local art curated by its other owner, Olive Guest. Outside, bathtubs are sunken into the decking – you can watch the estate’s pheasants play from here – and the chatter of crows form your soundscape. glebehousedevon.co.uk  Property Of The Day The only person in history to win World Championships on both two and four wheels, John Surtees CBE is a legend of the motorsport world. And now his characterful Kent home is for sale.
