The weather’s gone – well, classically British again! But worry not, London lovers – there’s still loads to do this weekend all over our great capital.

=======

Get close and personal to stunning birds of prey at the Royal Air Force Museum’s FREE Feathers and Flight weekend.

Guests at the newly revamped aviation centre will be able to learn all about the beautiful beasts’ favourite food and hunting techniques courtesy of their specialist handlers. There’ll even be regular special flying displays to enjoy for no extra charge.

Fun fact; Birds of prey are an important part of RAF’s image – an eagle has adorned the military branch’s badge since 1923!

Fri 10th & Sat 11th Aug, 12pm – 5pm: Feathers and Flight (flying displays at 1pm and 4pm both days)
Royal Air Force Museum London, Grahame Park Way, NW9 5LL

Vice City – Madonna Special at the Book Club  will feature a mountain of Madge’s top hits. DJs will also be putting on an assortment of other 80s classics from Duran Duran, Whitney, Lionel Richie et al so you’d best be rocking your best shoulder pads and perms.

Get creative with the kids and make your own Thomas Gainsborough-inspired miniature garden at a FREE drop-in workshop at the Royal Academy.

Little ones at Family studio: Gainsborough’s garden will be able to create model miniature natural scenes using mirrors for water and broccoli for trees. Apparently the celebrated portrait and landscape painter created models like that in his time. Fancy!
