| | | A future we want to live in | | Come with us now on a journey into London’s future. We consulted a load of wise (and a few not-so-wise) people to get a read on what might be in store for our great city. What we discovered wasn’t a techno-metropolis with lasers and robocops, but in fact, a capital built around the concepts of respect, community and neighbourly love. But way less boring than that sounds. |

| | Stuff for you to do this weekend | | | | Investigate the meanings of vision | | This year’s Bloomsbury Festival focuses on the theme of vision (both in a literal and metaphorical way). With more than 100 events over ten days (October 16 to 25), including VR walks, art exhibitions and music performances, there’s something for everyone. If you can’t make it to any of the socially distanced events, don’t fret, this year the festival will be hosting plenty online too! | | The best of the rest: | Welcome to hell Journey through the many levels of the underworld accompanied by a demonic guide in immersive theatre show ‘Dante’s in Furlough’. Make sure you avoid losing your soul on the way to the Devil’s wedding. (It’ll probably make more sense when you get there.)
Open wide Variety performer and expert sword swallower MisSa Blue is bringing her Black History Month show to the Phoenix Arts Club on Sunday. Do these words make you happy: burlesque, political poetry and sword swallowing? If yes, then go.
