With the prospect of a 4-day weekend ahead, London's residents and businesses are making plans to make the most of what should be a sunny and busy break. While London has some incredible green parks to enjoy, make sure not to miss out on special exhibitions and events over the break. 

Why no fill a free day over the long weekend with visiting closing exhibitions, including The Fantastic Barbican World and Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932? 

Check back regularly to keep up to date with London's latest happenings and our weekly recommendations!

Fujiko Nakaya: London Fog | Until 18th April

Extended due to high demand, this installation by Fujiko Nakaya was part of the 10 days 6 nights series at the Tate. The immersive fog sculpture has delighted the public this month; children and adults alike take delight in loosing each other (and their surroundings) in the cloud. An accompanying atmospheric soundscape transports users away from their south London surrounds, at least temporarily.

The 8-14s Studio Visiting Artist: Freddie Opoku-Addaie  | 15th April

This studio for 8-14 year olds allows them to explore  movement-based artistic expression with visiting artist Freddie Opoku-Addaie. This open, drop-in studio is naturally collaborative and welcoming, meaning that those who don't consider themselves a young artist, should nevertheless come along to explore expression.
