Classics movies, picnics and surround sound make Somerset House’s outdoor cinema an unmissable event. The annual Film4 Summer Screen is back with an extended programme of films over fourteen nights. Along with the usual mix of cult hits, thrillers and comedies- including The Untouchables and Crazy Stupid Love- the event launches with the premier of Richard Curtis' new romcom, About Time. The films won’t be shown until August but tickets go on sale Friday May 24. Don’t wait- it's a certified sell out.
London’s festival season kicks off properly this weekend with the return of hipster favourite Field Day. An impressive line-up of new music is being packed into Victoria Park this Saturday for a one-day jamboree. Catch Bat for Lashes, boy-boy-girl trio Chvrches or DJ wonder Jacques Greene, along with the likes of Disclosure and Beyonce’s sister Solange. Tickets are still available via the website.
If you didn’t get enough of RiRi's designs first time round, you'll be pleased to hear this week sees the drop of Rihanna's second collection for River Island. Look out for floral jumpsuits, khaki jackets and crop tops inspired by the Bajan queen’s summer wardrobe.
Escape the gallery crowds and go on the hunt for the newly erected Antony Gormley sculpture standing in the Thames. The figure, which is part of Gormley’s Another Time series, was sold to actor Sir Ian McKellen and can be found near his home in Limehouse. If you want the best view, visit at low tide, when the figure is in full sight.
