The founder of the Black Cyclists Network spoke to us about his plans for a professional team, being the only person of colour in a race and feeling like an X-Man. |

| | Stuff for you to do this weekend | | | | Take to the streets | | The first ever London Mural Festival was made for social distancing. Okay, it was actually planned before all of this happened, but it’s essentially an outdoor exhibition where 150 artists have used the city as their canvas. Go exploring this weekend and look out for murals on walls, under bridges and on a canal boat. | | The best of the rest: | Carnival continued Expect dancehall, reggae, soca and more at the The Prince of Wales’s Carnival Sound Rooftop Brunch. Book your own party booth and make the most of the September sun.
Dig deep Ever wondered what a London night out was like hundreds of years ago? Find out at this talk with mudlarker Nicola White, who’ll tell you all about eating and drinking in the (really) old days. Think: oyster shells, bones and wine bottles. Sounds like a great night out tbh.
Outside, now! Cinema on the Piazza is exactly what it sounds like. Classic films on a massive screen in Covent Garden’s square. Even better, it’s totally free, which is probably why the first batch of tickets sold out faster than you could say ‘social distancing’. Don’t panic, more are being released today.
