Five things to do in London this week

With thanks to Country and Townhouse:

 

CULTURE    FOOD & DRINK    TRAVEL    STYLE    INTERIORS    PROPERTY                 Am I a good citizen? I buy my loo roll from Who Gives A Crap; I don’t leave the tap running while brushing my teeth; I make sure my 100-year-old neighbour has enough shopping; I don’t kick the dog. But I know there’s a lot more to it than that, which is why I’m bowled away by Jon Alexander and his book Citizen. His life-affirming narrative encourages us to stop thinking of ourselves as consumers but as citizens, collaborative, caring and creatives ones at that. He’s on a mission to change the world. I’m going to join him.  Photo: 'Grandiflora Rose' wallpaper design by Designers Guild                   WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK       TRANSFORMATION TRIPS I’m a spa addict and I love a transformational experience, but I don’t think I’ve been anywhere as close to a profound shift as Clover Stroud underwent at Broughton Hall in Yorkshire. What do you think?         INTERIORS IN AN AGE OF ECO ANXIETY You may wear Stella McCartney, but what does your home look like when it comes to being climate conscious? Charlotte Rickards gives us a sneak peek inside the house of Alice Aedy and Jack Harries, the founders of Earthrise who’ve got climate chic nailed.         EMILY BRONTË Wuthering Heights is one of those books that I can remember where I read it and how it made me feel. I was 17 on a Spanish exchange with Mormons, if you’re asking. I devoured it so I’m super keen to see Frances O’Connor’s new film about its author, Emily.         FIVE THINGS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS       Embark on an immersive journey at Grantley Hall, which has partnered with Krug Champagne on a new experience which sees music paired with fizz.         As part of the Manchester Pride celebrations, a new audio visual exhibition will showcase the stories of LGBTQIA+ people who live or work in the city.       Recently opened in London’s Broadgate Circle is Revolve, a restaurant inspired by the grand dining institutions found in Paris and New York.         Don’t miss Goldie performing with producer James Davison at Ronnie Scott’s – plus on 31 August Annie Mac will be there to host a special ‘In Conversation With’ event.       This Bank Holiday weekend members’ club Kindred is throwing an open house party complete with live music and BBQ food from chef Andrew Clarke.         WHAT'S TRENDING ON C&TH       Taking a trip to the Lake District?
