What's hot in London this weekend?
With the summer coming up, many may be considering sprucing up their homes and a few items from the Art Deco Fair at Eltham Palace could be just the ticket.
Immensely popular with London's art lovers, the fair is a chance to purchase original 1930s objects in the wonderful surroundings of Eltham Palace, which is a striking example of Art Deco itself.
From furniture to jewellery, the event has everything one could wish for and may have that special something which will bring one's living room to life.
A trip to the capital must include a visit to the theatre and this weekend there is plenty going on.
One of the standout shows is A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky at the Lyric Hammersmith.
This collaboration between David Eldridge, Robert Holman and Simon Stephens sees a mother gather her sons on their family farm while the universe begins to crumble around them.
The question for each of them is whether a lifetime's worth of secrets will finally be revealed and whether a love that was once lost will ever be found again.
Music is another important part of the capital's cultural offerings and the Foundling Museum is holding a very special event this weekend.
Handel Among His Rivals will see the Janiculum ensemble present a programme of music comprising works from Ariosti, Castrucci, Corelli and Lanzetti and explore how each of them threatened Handel's supremacy in England.
For history lovers, this is a great weekend to visit the capital as the Guildhall Gallery will be hosting a special exhibition exploring the growth of global communications during the reign of King George V.
Empire Mail: George V and the GPO will see various posters, pillar boxes and philatelic rarities go on display to the public to document how Britain led the way in terms of global communications during this period.
When stomachs begin to rumble, visitors can enjoy all the food they need at the Real Food Fair at Earls Court.
Celebrity chefs will be on hand rustling up some culinary delights, while there will also be several cookery workshops, foodstuffs on sale from more than 400 producers and tips on how to grow one's own fruit and vegetables.
Visitors will not want to tuck in to too much food at the show, as the dishes available at the luxury London hotel the Egerton House hotel are even better.
With the 3 Nights for the Price of 2 promotion, guests can enjoy the chef's wonderful creations for an extra evening, with the deal giving residents a third night's stay absolutely free.
