Museum of London's latest's wheeze is to bring magic and mystery to their Late in the form of one Pete Hathway who will be performing street magic and cunning trickery to astound you a week today, whilst mystical tours of the galleries will be pointing out the more sinister objects, like witch balls and curses in Roman gall. Ew. To get the atmosphere just right, they need a suitable soundtrack and are stumped. We......

We gave you a heads up last week but here's a big reminder - the Museum in Docklands is having a 5th birthday party this weekend, flinging open its waterside doors and welcoming all, waiving its entrance fee. The Museum is lesser known than its big sister, the Museum of London with pride of place on London Wall since 1975, but the converted warehouse at West India Quay brings the importance of the river......

Fine whines: Boris says he’s found a Ken shaped stash of plonk, Ken says not. It may have been the least well kept surprise of the week, but rock fans had a treat at Wembley at the weekend when the Foo Fighters were joined by Led Zepp. East London’s City Pride has been sold for £32million making it the world’s most expensive pub. Staff at the Museum of London have gone on strike. It’s......

Rain, rain, go away…flirtatious spring-like temperatures and halcyon moments of direct sunlight belie this week’s forecast for April showers. At least that leaves plenty of time to soak up indoor activities on the cheap before we jet our wellies and get on with the picnic season. Monday: One of our favourite tucked-away speakeasy-esque bars is holding a book club tonight with the theme Dark Heroes. This ain’t no run-of-the-mill Richard & Judy-style book club:......

Lates are ace. That is a fact. So we were very excited to be invited to participate in the Museum of London Late last night as posers of a round of their pub quiz questions and dead keen quiz boffins. The spacious foyer was jammed full of eager teams on garden chairs, cushions and picnic rugs quaffing plenty from the makeshift bar (or was that just us?) Intervals between rounds allowed time for trips......

While we're probing your Londonist knowledge and preferences in the reader survey, we're also wanting to test your general London knowledge in a special pub quiz this Thursday. We will be the question setting team for one of the rounds in a jolly knees-up at the Museum of London that sounds like quite a night out. In The Ultimate London Pub Quiz, competition is high and positively encouraged: in traditional pub quiz structure there's......

As we mentioned briefly before, Thursday brings the East 2008 Festival. For six days, a cornucopia of performances, exhibitions, workshops, food and other events ensures entertainment with emphasis on promotion of the best of East London. Here’s our pick of the mix: 6th March: F-EAST - artists Wiebke and Nicholas Morgan cook a meal from 12 recipes from a Nigel Slater cookbook, and serve it for visitors as an exploration into ownership and the......

There's something of a Valentine's theme to the Arts of choice taking place in the capital this week. But Londonist knows for every young Juliet embracing the idea of timeless romantic love, there's a Bridget hugging her near-empty vodka bottle, crooning to Chaka Khan. So, in the name of balance, here's a varied, half 'rom', half 'com' round-up for you all. Shows for Swingin' Lovers: Photographer Gregg Stone, has been taking snaps of kissing......
