Five things to do in London this week

 With thanks to Country and Townhouse, here are five ideas of things to do in London this week:

CULTURE    FOOD & DRINK    TRAVEL    STYLE    INTERIORS    PROPERTY                 Do you have friends with whom you can only do certain things? However much I love my oldest, dearest pals (and I really do), it’s not always with them that I can just as easily chat Me + Em trousers and Shrimps coats (we love both) as I can full-on emotional dramas (currently hers) and working mother pressures (both) with a newer friend. She lives in the country; I live in the town; she’s currently single; I’m married. Whenever we see each other, we have what I call a nourishingly creative and emotional download, plus a jolly good laugh to boot. The perfect balance, you might say, and for that I’ll be forever grateful. Have a great week.   Photo: 'Grandiflora Rose' wallpaper design by Designers Guild                   WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK       LONDON FASHION WEEK It’s back and IRL again – even Ozwald Boateng is showing (after 12 years’ absence). Feel London pulsing to fashion’s beat and rejoice that we are still the world’s most creative capital. Find out who to watch here.         RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS It was, apparently, Random Acts of Kindness Day this week. Sounds a bit like guerrilla gardening when green-fingered enthusiasts pledge to ‘fight the filth with forks and flowers’ and plantbomb your concrete patio. Surely if we were all a little nicer to each other, these days (which are usually hideously commercial) do not need to exist. Cup of tea, anyone?         LUSTWORTHY LADIES ROOMS You’ve reapplied your lipstick in the loos at Annabel’s; you’ve abluted in the ladies at Sketch; you’ve even danced in the lavs at The Ned. Restaurant bathrooms are having their moment in the spotlight. Where will you next spend a penny?         FIVE THINGS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS       Join chef Anna Jones and yoga guru Naomi Annand for three days of nourishing food and zen at Hampton Manor.         The first UK solo exhibition from Texas-based artist Dawn Okoro is coming to Maddox Gallery this month, exploring identity, representation and self-reflexivity.
