Five things to do in London this week

 With thanks to Country and Townhouse, here are five things you won't want to miss:

CULTURE    FOOD & DRINK    TRAVEL    STYLE    INTERIORS    PROPERTY                 To balance my nascent nuclear war fear (I found myself Googling ‘what happens in a nuclear war’ the other day), I’m taking a step back from the news cycle to bury my hands in the soil. Easter – and its four glorious work-free days – is a time for far more earthly pleasures: for mulching flower borders, for sowing seeds for summer salad crops and for foraging in garden centres. And for chocolate, of course. If I’m going down, I want a tummy full of Prestat’s champagne truffles. Happy Easter.  Photo: 'Grandiflora Rose' wallpaper design by Designers Guild                   WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK       CAFÉ CULTURE WITH A VIEW I love the new work versatility of being able to set up shop in a café with your laptop to work in a convivial atmosphere with great coffee on tap. But if your surroundings also offer something pleasing to the eye, it helps when your mind goes a-wandering…          BILL BROWDER If you’re a Radio 4 junkie like me, you’ll no doubt have heard ‘Putin’s number one enemy’ Bill Browder all over the airwaves, especially on the Today programme. We interviewed him a few years back and I was first in line to buy his new book Freezing Order.         HUNTER'S KILLING EVE BOOTS Confession time, I have six pairs of Wellingtons, ranging from my handcrafted Chameaus to my trusty Dubarrys. No one needs six pairs, but I might just be heading for a seventh. I love these limited-edition Hunters, especially when they’ve been worn by cult killer Villanelle.
