What's hot in London this weekend?
It's the bank holiday weekend meaning there is a lot to enjoy on an extended break in the capital, including the Vaisakhi celebrations in Trafalgar Square.
Vaisaki, also known as the Sikh New Year, is the holiest day of the year in the Sikh calendar and is celebrated with love and passion by more than 20 million Sikhs all over the world.
Usually held on April 13th, this year's festival will take place on May 2nd, giving visitors to the capital the chance to enjoy music, vegetarian food and religious readings absolutely free.
There will be more celebrations in the street across town in Notting Hill, when one of the swankiest areas in the city celebrates Mayfest.
Through a mixture of music, art and family activities the event galvanises this diverse community and brings everyone together to enjoy the richness of its culture.
Visitors can look forward to performances from jazz stars such as James Wolff, classical music delivered by Francesco Molmenti and sounds from across the world from the Mauricio VelaSierra Band.
A very different but no less exciting musical experience will be taking place at the Royal Albert Hall this weekend as well.
Since 1999, The Night of 1,000 Voices has thrilled capacity audiences at the Royal Albert Hall while raising money for charity.
This spring bank holiday Aled Jones will host the event which will see the likes of Stephen Disley and the City of London Philharmonic take to the stage.
There is a very special event going on for photography lovers as well this weekend.
Shoot Experience and the London International Documentary Festival have teamed up to offer a truly unique interactive experience.
Shoot Bloomsbury will see teams given transcripts of fragments of films shot in the area and each group must go out and find inspiration, taking a photo to represent what they discover.
At the end of the day all the photos will be stitched together to form a wonderful photographic storyboard which will bring film clips to life in a new way.
As always in London, there is a rich variety of things happening and this weekend is no exception.
Grand Designs Live is perfect for those looking for some inspiration for the house or garden.
The biggest and best home improvement expo, the event sees interior design experts and gardening gurus give hints and tips on how to transform one's house into something really special.
In addition, there will be a whole host of items visitors can pick up, including accessories and furniture.
Those keen on attending the show would do well to book a stay at the luxury London hotel the Egerton House hotel during their trip.
The hotel is offering a special Grand Designs promotion which gives guests two complimentary tickets to the show, as well as top-class accommodation throughout the stay.
