What's hot in London this weekend
Whether it is top-class football, striking photography, musical magic or Christmas cheer people want, they will find it in London this weekend.
Beginning this Friday is the Southbank Centre's World Press Photo 2009 exhibition, featuring some incredibly creative and powerful images which have wowed those in the industry over the last year.
Launched in 1955, the event has become one of the most important dates in the calendar of photographers across Europe.
More than 196 powerful, award-winning images will be on display, giving photography fans plenty to admire and consider.
Those looking for a mesmerising musical performance while in the capital should make their way to the Royal Albert Hall, where they will find Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra bringing the house down with their smooth sounds.
The ensemble will be joined by special guest star Dave Edmunds and vocalists Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall to give visitors to the capital a night to remember.
If the weekend jaunt to the capital is a family trip, then mum, dad and the kids may want to make their way to the Hackney Empire and see the all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza that is Aladdin.
The classic tale is brought to life in the theatre's own, unique style, thrilling audiences with singing camels, tap-dancing pandas and much more.
To round off a wonderful Saturday, visitors to the capital can make their way to the luxury London hotel Egerton House Hotel and enjoy the delights of the Get More From Your Stay package.
Guests are offered a choice from a late checkout, traditional afternoon tea for two, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot on arrival, a romantic turndown or £50 worth of shopping vouchers for Harrods.
After a good night's sleep, visitors can make their way to the Emirates Stadium to watch two of the best football teams in the world go head-to-head.
Arsenal vs Chelsea is one of the fiercest derbies in world football and, with so many top-quality players on show, the clash is sure to be one of the highlights of the Premier League season.
Those who want to enjoy a more relaxing Sunday afternoon will find all the peace and tranquillity they need at the Chelsea Physic Garden.
After taking in the beautiful grounds, couples can head to the Christmas Fair and pick up various festive goodies for friends and family.
