What's hot in London this weekend?
Music will be heard right across the capital this weekend with the London Mandolin Festival just one event taking place.
London's position on the musical map is well established, yet few will know that the there used to exist a mandolin and guitar group in every borough across the city.
The capital has a long and rich tradition of mandolin orchestras and this history will be celebrated in a dedicated festival taking place this weekend.
Bringing voluntary players from across the city together, the London Mandolin Festival will celebrate the instrument's unique place in British history and will centre on the theme 'Rumba: Rhythm + Dance'.
If that is not enough to whet the appetite of music lovers then the Festive Orchestra of London's rendition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons most certainly will.
Taking place at St Martin-in-the-Fields, the event will see the famous ensemble woo audiences with some of the most famous pieces of classical music ever written, including Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, Mozart's Divertimento No 3 in F and Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
