RELAX: AQUA KYOTO

CINEMA: ROOF TOP FILM CLUB, QUEEN OF HOXTON

FILM: LUCY
There’s a lot of talk about the myth that humans can only access 10% of the brain, which is where Lucy comes in. After inadvertently becoming a drugs mule for CPH4, which then leaks into her blood stream, she accidentally gains heightened brain potential and superhero powers.
Rather than trying to explain the sciencey bit lets just let the fact it stars the gorgeous Scarlett Johanson do the persuading for you. In cinemas now
