An East London must-see — this is the last weekend to check out “I Am Who I Am Now: Selections from the Bengali Photo Archive,” a free exhibition at The Four Corners Gallery. This exhibition offers a unique insight into the everyday life of the Bengali East End of London. With images drawn from the Bengali Photo Archive, the exhibition focuses on vernacular photographs taken of and by Bengali people over the past 50 years, illuminating the intricate interplay between individual experiences and the broader socio-political landscape in the East End.

Packing your bags for your summer holidays but still looking for the right book to accompany your hours in the lounge chair with a mojito in hand? Look no further. Dolly Alderton’s second novel, Good Material, is exactly what you’re looking for. Unless you’re one of those people who love true crime. To be fair, it feels criminal at times how Alderton manages to create characters with such relatable storylines, struggles, and familiar commitment-and-communication issues. It’s as if she lived rent-free in our brains. Narrated from a male perspective, it’s the author’s biggest step towards the fiction realm, a deliciously funny and heartfelt take on the journey that follows a devastating heartbreak, and what it means to be a young adult in the world we live in. Thank us later!

If you’ve ever spent a morning walking around Columbia Road Flower Market, chances are you noticed that amidst the fashion-forward crowd, one accessory reigns supreme: a supersized scrunchie. The trend has been going on for a while now, but one label seems to stand out as the East London girlies’ top choice to elevate the classic sleek bun look, and that’s Hackney-based accessories brand Good Squish. Curious to try out the look and see if you’d fit in with the crowd? Until the 4th of August, you can check out all their pieces in person, including the first drop of their new collection, “No Clothes,” at their pop-up in Bethnal Green.

Good Squish Pop-Up, 159 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 7DG.

Strolling around Central London this weekend? Make sure to stop by Harrods to check out the new Miss Dior pop-up, a marvellous space celebrating Christian Dior’s love affair with England and the Maison’s long-term ties with the iconic department store.

Window shopping at its finest!

Chances are you too fell in love with Remi Wolf’s “Cinderella” this summer. Since its release back in March, the track took over our social media feeds, and fans couldn’t help but create high expectations for what was coming next from the California-based alt-pop star — and she definitely didn’t disappoint. Her new album, Big Ideas, out on July 12th, is sun-infused, funky, witty, and vibrant, and will get you feeling all groovy — a perfect match for the forecasted sunny weekend in London.

Earlier this summer, Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers touched down in the West End for Jayme Lloid’s highly-anticipated fresh take on Shakespeare’s classic Romeo & Juliet. And the internet was set in hysterics mode. The production is supposed to be unsettling, tragic, out-of-the-box, and, of course, love-drenched — and this weekend is your last chance to watch the iconic duo performing. Tickets were sold out in minutes, but rumour has it you might be lucky enough to get your hands on the sparse last-minute options available on resale. May the Shakespearean odds be with you!
