Five things to do in London this week

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

CULTURE    FOOD & DRINK    TRAVEL    STYLE    INTERIORS    PROPERTY                 I’ve never been sure how I feel about the royals, but over the years, like so many others, I’ve developed a deep affection for the Queen herself. Her dedication to duty; her dignity; her comportment in the face of multiple family traumas played out on the international stage have particularly elevated her above our wriggling, wrangling politicians, debating the meaning of ‘party’ in the mosh pit of the House of Commons. Which is why I think as a country we should go all out in celebration of her 70th Jubilee this year. I’ll get the trestle tables, you bring the bunting… it may be the last big royal jamboree for some time. Have a great week.  Photo: 'Grandiflora Rose' wallpaper design by Designers Guild                   WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK       AN AL-FRESCO AFTER WORK DRINK The rosé is on ice, the heaters have been packed away, the vaccinations are (mostly) doing their job. That means a return to sun-drenched evenings, gossiping with friends, with a glass of something chilled in hand. But where to go? We’ll tell you here…         NO-DIG GARDENING What a revelation this is! I’ve just started to plan with this technique and I’m so excited about a future of less soil disruption and less backbreaking spade work. This is all part of the permaculture technique that teaches us to work more in harmony with nature –and I’m fully subscribed.          REMODEL YOUR RING If you have jewellery sitting in boxes that you’ll never wear because it’s just not ‘you’ even though the stone is really gorgeous, you might want to consider having it remodelled. With the move to reuse and repurpose what we’ve already got, this very much ticks our box. Find out more here.         FIVE THINGS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS       Glamping, tree climbing, live music and yoga await at Home Farm, a rural hideaway on the outskirts of north London.         Bookworms, catch one of The Beaumont’s literary evenings – the first event on 27 April features author and journalist Catherine Ostler.       Soak up views of the city skyline while watching a movie at Rooftop Film Club, which returns to Peckham’s Bussey Building on 29 April.         Get ready to have the time of your life: Secret Cinema is back, and this summer it’s all about Dirty Dancing – tickets are on sale now.       International artists working with audio-visual technology are coming together for 180 Studios’ latest major exhibition, Future Shock.
