Applebee's Borough Market has launched a seasonal autumn tasting menu showcasing British seafood, paired with natural wines from Rye's Walgate Wines. From a standout hand-dived scallop to warm, generous service and impressive gluten-free options, here's why this £55 menu is one of London's best-value dining experiences.

A remarkable feat of theatre, CADEL: Lungs on Legs transforms the true story of Tour de France winner Cadel Evans into an exhilarating, immersive experience. Connor Delves delivers a phenomenal performance, cycling throughout while capturing every setback and triumph with humour and heart. Inventive staging, gripping storytelling and extraordinary physical endurance combine to create an inspiring, must-see production that transcends sport.

A talking fish, a frozen Alaskan gold-rush town and a notorious conman trying to save his dying son should make for gripping theatre. Goldfish certainly has ambition, aided by an impressively large cast of nine and wonderfully evocative period costumes. I was particularly taken with the mysterious goldfish itself, which became the most compelling character on stage. Yet despite some intriguing ideas and atmospheric staging, I never became fully invested in the story or its ch

Having recently swapped South London for Sussex, we knew about Lewes Bonfire Night, but we had no idea the entire county seemed to celebrate Bonfire Season. From torchlit processions and flaming barrels to centuries-old traditions, Sussex takes 5 November to another level. After getting our first taste in Eastbourne, we discovered that Lewes is just the beginning of one of Britain's most spectacular autumn traditions.

Despite having MacKenzies on my mother's side and family ties to Waternish on Skye, where winter ceilidhs remain a cherished tradition, my own dancing experience is limited to schooldays and a few riotous evenings at the Gay Gordons in Islington. Ceilidh at Shoreditch Town Hall is joyful, funny and unexpectedly moving, with superb musicians and a wonderfully inclusive spirit. I left wanting to sign up for dancing classes myself.

Memoriam explores a fascinating future where memories can be extracted, edited and sold, asking powerful questions about identity, grief and what happens when we soften painful experiences. Beverley Klein shines as the feisty Rivka, but while there are the bones of a cracking good story here, a tighter running time and less sibling bickering would allow its most compelling ideas to truly take centre stage.

An outstanding, deeply moving musical, The Pianist tells the extraordinary true story of Polish-Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman and his fight for survival during the Holocaust. With powerful performances, live music and intimate staging, this London world premiere celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of music to survive even the darkest of times.

An antique shop filled with forgotten objects and hidden stories provides an intriguing premise for psychological horror, but Uncle Monty's Antique Shop never quite realises its potential. Despite moments of atmosphere and a strong performance from Shanice Petilaire, the production's disjointed structure, unclear storytelling and uneven characterisation leave what could have been a chilling theatrical experience feeling frustratingly muddled.

What begins as a bizarre wartime rumour soon becomes something far darker. Inspired by the myth that Churchill's government commissioned pornographic films for British troops, Think of England swaps the quirky charm of Whisky Galore! for an unsettling tale of secrets, coercion and survival on a remote Orkney island. Strong performances from Natalie Quarry and Jack Bandeira keep you invested, but despite a fascinating premise, the film never quite fulfils its potential.

Laura Grillo’s What Would Jarvis Do? is a brave, unsettling black comedy that blends fandom, grief and lockdown-induced psychosis into a fever-dream journey through the human psyche. At its best, it offers moments of real emotional insight, particularly in its exploration of loss and isolation. While its surrealism and familiar horror tropes sometimes hinder audience engagement, the production’s ambition, dark humour and pulsing Pulp soundtrack leave a memorable impression.
