GIVE BLOOD: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to head to the Hop Exchange on Southwark Street or the Royal Free hospital in Hampstead and donate some blood. Free, just turn up, times vary
BUY AN AWESOME FLAT: Fancy living in the soon-to-be-redeveloped Battersea Power Station? You won't be able to pick up the keys until 2017, but you can buy off-plan from today. £6,000,000, just turn up, 10am

MUSIC: The Stranger The Better mini-festival starts tonight at Kings Place, showcasing bands and artists who dabble in the philosophical, bleak and existential. Tonight's event involves a string-quarteted Teitur (check out Josephine for a tear-jerker) plus guests (including Steven Adams from the sadly defunct Broken Family Band). Our pick comes tomorrow, though, with the understated power-misery of Gravenhurst. £12.50-£19.50, prebook, 7.30pm

HILARIOUS POLITICS: Question Time comes from Lewisham this week, but more fun will be had in Hackney Picturehouse with BBCQT Watchalong. Helen Arney, Nish Kumar and Radcliffe Royds join Nat Guest for drinking, shouting, tweeting and Dimbledancing. £5, prebook, 8pm
FILM: Kensington Roof Gardens' marquis cinema is screening Back to the Future...unarguably one of the best films ever made, yet now something of a predictable cliche for pop-up cinemas. Still, if you haven't seen it for a while, there aren't many sweeter venues in this or any other decade. £20, prebook, 8pm
