Things to do:
LOVE NOT LANDFILL: Select a brand new outfit with the help of a professional stylist before a fashion photographer snaps you modelling your new look — all for free. Sound too good to be true? All you need to do is bring some unwanted clothes to swap and pay a £15 deposit (don't worry, you'll be reimbursed as long as you actually turn up) and you'll be free to rummage through a textile recycling factory's massive collection of clobber. L M Barry Textile Recyclers (Canning Town), £15 deposit, book ahead, 10am-12pm
BURIAL RITES: This immersive exhibition in the freshly restored Brompton Cemetery Chapel explores death and burial in a variety of cultures, the product of discussion with local communities in Earl's Court and Chelsea. Brompton Cemetery, free, just turn up, 10am-5pm, until 12 May
MILLICENT FAWCETT: See the unveiling of one of the most significant statues of our time — the very first statue of a woman to grace Parliament Square, and the first one there to be created by a woman.

CARYN AND CLAYTON: To mark Fashion Revolution Week, former i-D Magazine fashion editor, presenter and sustainable fashion advocate Caryn Franklin chats to womenswear designer Sadie Clayton about the latter's career highs and lows, and the challenges of being a mixed-race woman campaigning for diversity in the fashion industry. Kingston School of Art (Kingston upon Thames), £3, book ahead, 6pm-8pm
YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED: Portraiture used to be all about pomp and ceremony. But today's sitters and artists generally favour sincerity over swagger. At the Royal College of Physicians, one of the few institutions that still commissions portraits of its leaders, a trio of artists explore the commission process, the use of symbolism in contemporary portraits, and our enduring fascination with the medium. Royal College of Physicians (Regent's Park), £8, book ahead, 6pm-8pm

Good cause of the day
The Canvas Cafe in Shoreditch offers drool-worthy vegan food but as well as being kind to your belly (and to the animal kingdom), it's also a really worthwhile social enterprise that supports and enables the launch of new ideas that improve the lives of others. In the past, it has helped launch the world's first Museum of Happiness, a doggy daycare and refugee-supporting supper clubs to name but a few. Plus, you get to write on the walls.
