What's hot in London this weekend?
The sun has been shining in London and maybe we can thank Sara Barras for bringing it with her from Andalucia for her visit to the capital.
One of Europe's most celebrated Flamenco dancers, Ms Barras will be strutting her stuff on one of the grandest stages of all this weekend.
The Royal Albert Hall will be her residence, with the Spaniard performing a repertoire drawn from the nine shows she has toured with her company over the last decade.
What makes London such an exciting place is the sheer diversity of its people and events.
In no time at all, visitors can switch from hot Latin rhythms to traditional Irish song and dance.
Sunday March 14th is the day London will celebrate St Patrick's Day, meaning large parts of the capital will come to a standstill with more than 100,000 revellers joining the celebrations.
A parade of colourful floats will pass through from Green Park to Trafalgar Square, accompanied by marching bands and groups representing the Irish Counties.
When the procession arrives in WC2, there will be live music and dance showcasing the very best of Ireland's cultural scene and promising a great day out for all.
The Irish celebrations do not end there however, as Irish History Month runs this weekend as well, providing an extensive insight into the country's rich and varied history.
For theatre fans, there is the chance to see the lyrical masterpiece Katya Kabanova, one of the latter works from Czech composer Leos Janacek.
A tale of sexual morality within a tight-knit community, the play was inspired by Janacek's love for a younger, married woman and promises a thrilling night's entertainment.
From the work of a Czech master to that of a legendary Russian author and Mikhail Bulgakov's gripping piece The White Guard.
Set in Kiev during the Russian Civil War, the Turbin household is home to a rag-tag bunch, cared for by the beautiful Lena.
As her brothers ready themselves for war, the house is invaded by drunkards and chancers looking to take advantage of Lena's good heart.
He siblings get ready to face the new regime unaware of the brutality those in power are prepared to employ to get what they want and the devastating consequences that will have on the Turbins.
Visitors to the capital can enjoy Spanish flamenco, Irish song and dance, Czech opera and Russian theatre, highlighting the capital's rich multicultural arts calendar.
However, they will at some stage want a taste of Blighty and there is no better place to get this than at the luxury London hotel the Egerton House hotel, which adopts a very British approach to hospitality, comfort and class.
With the Get More From Your Stay package, guests are offered a choice from a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, traditional afternoon tea for two, a romantic turndown on one evening, £50 worth of Harrods shopping vouchers and a late checkout until 18:00 GMT on the final day.
