What To Do This Weekend 09.04.26

Roundhouse 360

After a standout debut, Roundhouse is once again leaning into its iconic circular design with the return of Roundhouse 360. Over the course of the month, the venue transforms into a rotating programme of live music, spoken word, theatre and late-night sets – all unfolding in an immersive, in-the-round format. Big names like Kae Tempest, Amaarae and Imogen Heap headline a roster that spans genres and disciplines, from dance performances to the Roundhouse Poetry Slam final. There’s even a low-cost ‘Good Vibes Day’.

Sunday Papers Live

If your ideal Sunday involves equal parts culture and comfort, you’ll be pleased to hear Sunday Papers Live is back with its signature blend of talks, workshops, comedy and food. Hosted at Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings, the day is designed to be dipped in and out of – think thoughtful panel discussions, creative sessions and a standout roast lunch, all enjoyed from the comfort of sofas and armchairs. Add in a well-made Bloody Mary and it's a perfect day.

Teal By Sally Abé

After years at the helm of some of London’s most respected kitchens – including The Harwood Arms and The Pem – Sally Abé has opened her first solo venture in Hackney. Set on Wilton Way, Teal by Sally Abé marks a confident return to the capital, with a menu rooted in modern British bistro cooking. Dishes lean seasonal and ingredient-led, from indulgent devils on horseback to Dorset crab royale and rich haunch of deer, alongside playful desserts like marmalade ice cream sandwiches and penny licks. It’s a thoughtful, polished space that still feels relaxed – exactly what you’d expect from one of London’s most exciting chefs.

Flea London At Hackney Bridge

For those who prefer one-off fashion finds, Flea London is popping up at Hackney Bridge for a single day this weekend. Expect a tightly curated edit of vintage clothing, statement jewellery and homeware, alongside art, books, vinyl and analogue cameras. There’s also a strong line-up of independent designers and emerging makers, making it as much about discovery as it is about shopping.

Sassy Squid Pop-Up

Emerging British label Sassy Squid is stepping into the physical retail space for the first time with a week-long pop-up just off Portobello Road. Launching its SS26 collection, the brand’s biggest drop to date includes 12 new designs crafted from limited deadstock fabrics, alongside its signature bestsellers. Expect feminine details – from bows to balloon sleeves – across easy summer skirts and relaxed co-ords, all made locally in collaboration with family-run manufacturers. Opening weekend includes the full works, with coffee, cocktails and limited goody bags, while a £1 coffee and cinnamon bun offering runs throughout the week.

Ministry Of Sound Games

In an unexpected but compelling twist, Ministry of Sound is swapping late-night raving for high-energy fitness. The Ministry Of Sound Games turns the club into an immersive workout arena, where teams compete across a series of physically demanding zones – all soundtracked by DJs and powered by the venue’s signature lighting and audio set-up. Equal parts gym session and night out, it ends with a social wind-down that feels more post-party than post-workout (even if your muscles say otherwise).
