The imminent heatwave makes you doubtful you’ll get a booking? Fear not. We have a fairly exhaustive list of excellent rooftop bars in London. You shall go to the Negroni-sipping, sunset ball, Cinderella.

All day ‘Twelve Thousand Years in Fragments’
Nice and light for Tuesday: this is an audiovisual experience that reflects 12 millennia of human influence on earth as a ‘40-minute symphony of sound and image’. It costs eight quid but this might very well end up changing your life and totally blowing your mind, so fair dos. It’s part of the very cool Electric Dreams online festival.
The best of the rest:
Tuesday noon Plastic in the Thames, hey? What are we going to do about that? Let’s join the folks at the Natural History Museum as they chew it over.

Tuesday 7pm The Royal Institution get to grips with cancer. Scientist Kat Arney explores the dawn of life on planet earth in an attempt to get to the heart of what the Big C really is.

Wednesday 7pm The Old Vics reimagines ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ as a contemporary dance thriller, directed and choreographed by Olivier Award-winner Drew McOnie.
