| | | We put your questions to the mayor | | One of the good things about being The Famous London Magazine Time Out is our direct line to the city’s mayor. Sometimes we call Sadiq up just to idly chit chat about nothing for hours. Often, he’ll complain about being ‘busy’ or ‘in a meeting with 15 world leaders’, but he knows the score. We used this power most recently by putting to him questions sourced from some of our favourite London businesses, makers and creators. The Big Man addressed their concerns about our fine city’s post-Covid future. |

| Incoming: streaming stuff for your diary | | | | Thursday, 7pm Watch the final National Theatre at Home | | The National Theatre’s weekly free-to-stream plays have been a shining cultural beacon in the dark depths of lockdown – so much so, they were voted the cultural initiative that made life worth living in our Time In Awards. Alas, 15 productions and tens of millions of views later, the series is coming to an end, but going out with bang. The final play is ‘Amadeus’ starring brilliant National Theatre regular Lucian Msamati with a live orchestra playing Mozart’s greatest hits. Basically, an epic double whammy of highbrow culture to see us off. | | The best of the rest: | Saturday and Sunday Lambeth Country Show’s sheep-shearing, wood-whittling, potent local cider and live music is going online. There’ll even be a virtual Vegetable Sculpture Competition, so you can still see the great and good of popular culture, recreated out of turnips and swedes.
Thursday, 7.30pm We’ll all be getting down, dirty and digital in the future, according to the Science Museum. They’ve gathered a panel of experts to discuss the role science and tech is set to play in our sex lives.
Friday, 6.30pm Join Charmaine Brown, senior lecturer at the University of Greenwich, who’ll be giving a Zoom talk that has the lowdown on Peckham’s history and how African-Caribbean people revitalised SE15 long before ‘regeneration’ hit.
