Things to do in... March

Kew Gardens
Teaming up with the Royal College of Music, Sounds of Blossom is set to animate the Spring blossoms. Music students from the college have crafted original compositions, specially commissioned by Kew Gardens and inspired by the glory of spring. These fresh musical pieces will be played in Kew's blossom hotspots.
 
Allow your senses to awaken as you stroll, witnessing the pastel hues, savour the gentle melodies and inhale the sweet fragrances carried by the breeze. Sounds of Blossom offers a chance to rejuvenate, uplift your spirits and reestablish a connection with nature.

414-416 Roman Road, London, E5 5LU
A staple for Roman Road and the local coffee shop for our founder. Mae + Harvey is the perfect spot for a latte on the weekend, full of fresh pastries and a handwritten menu for great dinners in the week, alongside perfectly minimal interiors and that 'I'm home' vibe that every coffee shop longs to achieve. Their sandwiches are to die for and you can always have a chat with the staff, which is great if you're feeling lonely in a busy city. 
 
March 1st - June 30th 2024

Perfect Days, a film by Wim Wenders
In cinema's now
Nominated for Best International Film, Wim Wenders's "Perfect Days" follows Hirayama, played by Koji Yakusho, through his meticulously routine life maintaining Tokyo's public toilets. Despite minimal dialogue, Yakusho's performance resonates deeply, compensating for any perceived shortcomings. Wenders's apt song choices elevate scenes, leading to a finale that highlights the actor's brilliance.
