ART: Mapping the City
This exhibition, in conjunction with collaborative arts organisation A(by)P, features works from over 50 international street and graffiti artists including Shepard Fairey, Swoon and Aryz.
Creating maps of their home cities, some literal and some highly abstract, visitors are challenged to look at these places in a new light.
Johnny Depp heads an all-star cast in this comedy caper, which also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn.
Depp plays Charlie Mortdecai, an art dealer on the hunt for a stolen painting that is rumoured to lead to Nazi gold, so naturally there are plenty of others on his tail.

DAY OUT: TFL’s Winter Wanders Weekend
Dust off the cobwebs and take part in one of TFL’s guided walks around London this weekend.
There are over 40 to choose from, ranging from a 1.5-mile stroll through the city to a 10-mile hike on a rural trail, and people of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join in.
The BAFTA headquarters will be exhibiting photographs from its extensive archive this weekend, ahead of the awards show on 8 February.
There will be over 80 pictures of stars on the red carpet as well as backstage shots, including Emma Watson, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. The photographers themselves will be present for a Q&A on both days.
LOCO 2015 is here, not just to banish our blues during the bluest week of the year, but also to kick start a new generation of British comedy filmmakers.
The festival will premiere a variety of national and international comedy films, as well as hosting workshops and director Q&As. Cinemagoers can also catch classics such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Four Weddings And A Funeral.
Stop by The World’s End Market for some relatively guilt-free indulgence this weekend. Everything on the restaurant’s seasonal menu is market fresh and locally sourced; the meat and fish are openly displayed so guests can actively eye up what they like.
With Burns Night coming up this Sunday, folk club The Nest Collective have organised a weekend of festivities at a beautiful church in Hackney.
Start your evening with a traditional Burns Supper, stop by the whiskey bar and Burns poetry corner, then dance the night away with the raucous Ceilidh Liberation Front. Traditional Scottish attire is actively encouraged.
