Seoul-music at the Southbank Centre and Sigourney Weaver in ShakespeareAnyone for experimental jazz?
A bridge too far? Never!In our opinion, you can never go a bridge too far. Hence why we've got a LOT of articles and videos on bridges. We've delved into the secrets of many of London's best-known crossings, including Blackfriars Bridge (ever spotted it has pulpits on it?), Millennium Bridge (will it one day go INSIDE Tate Modern?), Waterloo Bridge (a Brixton schoolboy was the first person to officially cross it) and Southwark Bridge (including the time part of it exploded). As for Tower Bridge: boy, have some pretty outrageous stunts been performed there over the years... We've also taken a walk through (yes, through!) London Bridge. We raised Tower Bridge for a huge cruise ship. And we've gone in search of London's oldest surviving bridge (clue: it's not on the Thames). Speaking of non-Thames bridges, this curious collection of crossings are worth walking over, too. We're always keeping an eye out for new bridges. Like this twisty beaut of a bridge due to open soon. And the one that arrived at Canada Water in November 2024, immediately stoking a backlash. Take our advice: don't get cross, get crossing. Bathe in an experimental jazz epicStretch your interpretation of what music can be, with a live rendition of Gwang Gwang, Geong Geong. Performed by SMTO No-Noise — an innovative jazz ensemble helmed by post-rock visionary Lee Il-woo, and powered by the stellar musicians of the Seoul Metropolitan Traditional Orchestra (SMTO) — this is a spellbinding cacophony that combines unmatched talent with fearless musical exploration. Sigourney Weaver’s West End debutWell, isn’t this such stuff as dreams are made on… The legendary Sigourney Weaver stars as Prospero in The Tempest at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, 7 December-1 February. It’s the action heroine extraordinaire’s West End debut, and we’ve got tickets up for grabs from £35.
