Edvard Munch Portraits At The National Portrait Gallery
Fans of Edvard Munch – the artist behind ‘The Scream’ – won’t want to miss this landmark exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Bringing together more than 40 of his most striking portraits, it traces his evolution from early naturalistic works to the emotionally charged, expressive style he became famous for. Expect intimate depictions of friends, family and self-portraits that reveal the psychological depth at the heart of his work.

Story Cellar’s Signature Chicken Sandwich
London’s sandwich scene is having a moment, and Story Cellar is getting in on the action with a limited-edition Signature Chicken Sandwich, available at lunch only. Tom Sellers has taken the restaurant’s famed rotisserie chicken and reimagined it into a seriously indulgent dish – think tender confit chicken thighs, crisp chicken skin, homemade chicken fat mayo, plum chutney and pickled cucumber, all tucked between toasted brioche. Served with extra chicken jus for dipping and a choice of fries or salad, it’s the perfect pitstop while shopping in Covent Garden.
