What's on?
Every year the average age of the audience in London's theatres plummets during Kids Week. Children from five up to 16 years old flock to an unrivalled selection of plays and musicals - either at greatly reduced prices or absolutely free!
On the first Thursday of every month, more than 80 of East London's art galleries stay open until 9pm. Heavyweight galleries such as the White Cube and the Barbican participate alongside smaller independent exhibition spaces, and many stage special events.
Held at London's Clapham Grand by the charitable organisation WEZIMBABWE, the annual Zimfest celebrates all things Zimbabwean. Expats and those just up for a good party come and enjoy the braai, sports, cold beer and excellent live music.
In addition to hosting the BBC Proms Monday lunchtime chamber concerts, in 2010 the Cadogan Hall hosts five Saturday Prom matinées. Starting with Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, they include a nod to birthday-boy Schumann and contemporary music.
Great orchestras from Prague and Berlin - both conducted by British Knights - top and tail the Proms' penultimate week. Two opera companies are also bound for the Royal Albert Hall: Glyndebourne in its annual visit and the Early Opera Company.
