What's hot in London this weekend?

There's an eclectic mix of events taking place in London this weekend, with sports fans getting the opportunity to see some of the world's finest male tennis players compete in the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club.

The tournament began on Monday (June 7th), but those in the capital on the 12th and 13th will have a chance to see the climax of the action, when stars such as Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal will take to the court, providing they make it through the earlier rounds.

Held every year as a warm-up event ahead of Wimbledon, the Aegon Championships is an ideal way to see some of the world's best tennis players in an intimate setting.

Alternatively, if you would rather spend time indulging in some retail therapy, why not pay a visit to London Jewellery Week, which runs from June 7th to 13th?

Taking place at various venues around the capital in areas such as Covent Garden, Sloane Street and Hatton Garden, the event sees some of the biggest names in the Jewellery world converge to show off their latest products.

Visitors will be able to attend auctions to try and pick up some sought-after pieces, as well as see catwalk shows and enjoy cocktail receptions, while various actives will also be held in order to keep children entertained.

Also taking place this weekend is the Coin Street Festival, where cultures from far and wide come together in Bernie Spain Gardens to showcase the best live music, food and drink and street theatre from various countries around the world.

There is never a shortage of opera and theatre in London and this coming weekend is no exception, with Michael Clark's modern dance show Come, Been and Gone showing at the Barbican after receiving acclaim at the Edinburgh International Festival.

The show features a soundtrack from artists such as Lou Reed and David Bowie and has been credited for pushing the envelope of modern dance.

All these events can be enjoyed by those staying at the luxury London hotel the Egerton House, where the Get More From Your Stay package gives guests the chance to choose from a variety of complementary gifts, including a £50 Harrods shopping voucher.
