Oliver! The Musical 33 Shaftesbury Avenue, W1D 6AR
Dickens’ most beloved stories – Oliver! The Musical
Cameron Mackintosh’s revival of Lionel Bart’s iconic musical is directed and choregraphed by the legendary Matthew Bourne, known for his audacious revival of Swan Lake. Many of the much loved songs, for which the original musical won a Tony Award for Best Original Score, make their return, including “Food, Glorious Food” and “I’d Do Anything”.

Rovi 55 Wells Street, London W1A 3AE
Yotam Ottolenghi’s restaurant in Fitzrovia is a bit of a departure for the chef and author. Veg is still at the heart, but this place with an ex-Grain Store chef sees them using fire and fermentation more.

Arcus 61-66 Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London, WC1B 5BB
The Imperial Hotel in Bloomsbury is getting a (much-needed) overhaul at the moment, and a large part of that is focused on the roof. Up there, they’re opening a brand new rooftop bar called Arcus.
It’s going to be pretty huge, as they’ll be able to fit over 300 people and, given that Bloomsbury isn’t quite as high-rise as other parts of town, you should be able to get some fantastic views. They’re promising views of St Paul’s, the London Eye and, much closer to them, a bird’s-eye view of the British Museum. There are a lot of tables open to the elements, but if the weather is more typical of London, there’s a large covered area too. There’s also a private dining room up here which should have a pretty great view.

Anish Kapoor Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX
Kapoor’s depthless voids – sculptures of black holes that use a shade that absorb 99.965 percent of visible light, holding the world record for the darkest manmade substance –
are Kapoor at his best; they make you think, they intrigue you, they encourage you to drag a friend over and test whether their eyes can be fooled too. More than simple optical tricks, these pieces expose how fragile perception really is.
