Five things to do in London this week

With thanks to Country and Town House, here are five things you won't want to miss and seven films to look out for at Sundance:

CULTURE    FOOD & DRINK    TRAVEL    STYLE    INTERIORS    PROPERTY                 What are your wellness goals looking like this year? At magazines we tend to trot out the tried and tested formula of ‘new year new you’ as a galvanising tool to make us get healthier, thinner, fitter, less stressed. And with the global wellness industry said to be worth $4.5 trillion and rising, the appetite is there to be sated. It’s up to the individual though to cut through the marketing hype to decide what really works for them. For me, wellness means walking, time with family and friends, a good book and a vigorous Peloton of a morning (Mr Big’s untimely demise notwithstanding). Our new issue out now is full of wellness suggestions – take from it what works for you.  Have a great week.   Photo: 'Grandiflora Rose' wallpaper design by Designers Guild                   WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK       OUR NEW ONLINE BOOK CLUB We love books at C&TH – from my rather twisted penchant for Val McDermid’s grizzly thrillers to our chief sub, Belinda’s more cerebral suggestions, we’ve launched the C&TH book club. First up is Osman Yousefzada’s mesmerising autobiography The Go-Between. Plus, don’t miss an unforgettable episode of Break Out Culture this week with guest author Bernadine Evaristo.         FILM SEASON With the gorgeous Hollywood actress Haley Bennett on our latest cover, taking the role of Roxanne in the new version of Cyrano out next month, we pick our highlights from this year’s Sundance Festival which is on now. I’ll be glued to Kwame Kwei-Armah’s co-written film 892, which stars John Boyega as an Iraq war veteran who robs a bank after his disability cheque fails to materialise.          RIXO'S DENIM LAUNCH Fan of Rixo’s bright print dresses? Me too, but now they’ve launched a brilliant denim range which uses less water and fewer chemicals to produce. Loving the embroidered detail and flattering cut of their Ellen dress.

Spend a night at Rosewood London, which has just launched a series of new ‘Alchemy of Sleep’ retreats.         Pastry chef and chocolatier Gianluca Fusto is kicking off a one-year residency at the recently refreshed Bvlgari Lounge.       An exhibition at Two Temple Place explores how ceramics have been disrupted and reimagined by Black women over the last 70 years.          Those doing Dry January can stock up on supplies for the final week at Anya’s Dry Drinker Off-Licence, a no and low alcohol shop opened in collaboration with Anya Hindmarch.       Celebrate Burns Night with live music, ceilidh dancing and a five-course banquet at Bourne & Hollingsworth.         WHAT'S TRENDING ON C&TH       As the Race To Zero campaign gathers speed, where do carbon offsetting schemes play a role?     Daniella Saunders chats to supermodel David Gandy about his 20-year career in the fashion industry           What is intuitive eating? Ellie Smith explores the anti-diet food movement      Five reasons to watch Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, Licorice Pizza                       Win a Two-Night Stay at room2 Chiswick  Looking to get away for a few days?
