Today's Story

Today's Top Priority

With clear skies and temperatures reaching 25°C on Friday 7 August 2026, today is made for spending time outdoors. Walk down Ramillies Street in Soho on Saturday 8 August between 1pm and 5pm for Inside Out: Echoes. The Photographers' Gallery is taking over the pedestrianised alleyway with a free open-air stage featuring live music, DJ sets, and film projections.

Weather-Aware Pick

Make the most of today's warm sunshine with a visit to Serpentine North Gallery in Kensington Gardens. David Hockney's free exhibition, featuring colourful iPad paintings and his celebrated Moon Room light installation, closes on 23 August 2026. Walk through the park, enjoy the sunshine, and step into the gallery with no advance booking required.

Food Picks

Breakfast pick: Terry's Cafe (158 Great Suffolk Street, Southwark, SE1 1PE). Open daily from 7:30am to 3:00pm, this family-run spot has been serving classic British fry-ups since 1982. Order The Works for Cumberland sausage, smoked bacon, eggs, and bubble and squeak.
Indian pick: Ganapati (38 Holly Grove, Peckham, SE15 4TE). This independent neighbourhood restaurant focuses on home-style South Indian cooking. Try the Keralan thali plates, crab thoran, or fresh parottas in the bright dining room or quiet courtyard.

Worth Booking Soon

The Royal Academy's annual Summer Exhibition in Burlington House on Piccadilly closes on 23 August 2026. Tickets cost £22 and give access to over 1,800 contemporary artworks selected by coordinator Ryan Gander. Book an afternoon slot before remaining weekend tickets sell out.
