Top things to see and do

- There’s free family fun at the Elephant and the Nun Festival today and Sunday with music, street performance, sports, food and rapping pensioner Ida Barr.
Transport hotspots
With the weekend, and less work-day footfall, transport should be quieter in central London, but expect crowded carriages and roads in stations to the east, and along the Jubilee Line. Football matches at West Ham, Millwall, Tottenham and Crystal Palace will add to the load across east London. Here’s your daily heat map.
