For film fans
Another must-see exhibition this autumn is dedicated to director Stanley Kubrick at the Design Museum. This is your chance to see how he created genre-defining worlds for his films and to relive some of his most iconic scenes. The museum invites you to, “Step inside the world of Stanley Kubrick, one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century.”

Street art
For delicious dining and to witness a fantastic piece of street art, head to the Scarlett Green café on Soho’s Noel Street. On arrival you can’t miss the striking art-covered façade, which is the work of artist Bonnie and Clyde, who held her first solo exhibition at 45 Park Lane back in 2017.
