Gather all your Apple Watches and vintage timepieces, this weekend, the clocks go back an hour, meaning we gain an hour of sleep, but it gets miserable and dark an hour earlier. Or, just leave your clocks as they are and live out of step with reality.

The Boss
In 1982, Bruce Springsteen released Nebraska, a raw and intimate album that, for many, is considered to be one of Springsteen’s most defining bodies of work. It is the record that lies at the centre of Scott Cooper’s upcoming biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, which sees Jeremy Allen White transform into Springsteen, adopting the musician’s instantly recognisable rasp and captivating stage presence in one of the most anticipated performances of his career. Starring opposite White as Faye Romano is Odessa Young, taking on the straight-talking love interest of Springsteen’s early years. Before heading to the cinema, check our interview with Odessa here.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is out in cinemas now. 

Futurespective
Taking over the Saatchi Gallery until the end of November, Futurespective is a photography exhibit pioneered by Vogue Ukraine, showcasing the work of 34 emerging Ukrainian photographers. Found by an open call earlier this year, the works on display range widely in form and subject matter, meditating on themes of hope, adolescence, memory and love in the face of war and a continually changing political landscape.

Futurespective runs at the Saatchi Gallery until 16th November, more info here. 

Indie OG
Peter Perrett remains one of British music’s most fascinating figures, from his days as the frontman of The Only Ones (big hit: Another Girl, Another Planet), to his more recent solo records, his voice carries the same louche romance and bruised glamour that made him a cult icon. At Scala this weekend, Perrett returns to London and returns to the stage, his words still cutting through the crap. If you’re in the throes of the current indie revival, this is your chance to see an original at work.

Peter Perrett plays at Scala on Friday 24th October. Buy tickets here.

80s London
Alan Hollinghurst’s Booker Prize-winning novel The Line of Beauty is being brought to life on stage at London’s Almeida Theatre, adapted by Jack Holden and directed by Tony Award-winning Michael Grandage. Set over a sweltering summer in 1983, Hollinghurst’s story follows Nick Guest as he finds himself embroiled in a world of power and privilege. Navigating class, sexuality and public image in tandem with the trappings of prohibited sexual desire, Hollinghurst’s protagonist is an allegorical figure of Thatcherite Britain.

The Line of Beauty runs at Almeida Theatre until 21st November, more info here. 

Art heist
Kelly Reichardt’s latest cinematic offering is a 1970s period drama starring Josh O’Connor and Alana Haim. At first glance, The Mastermind appears to be a study of suburban familial existence, but as family life ensues around him, it becomes clear that O’Connor’s character is plotting something much bigger. Living a double life as a small-time art thief, his next heist at a local gallery in Massachusetts takes a turn for the worse. Recent events in Paris only heighten the excitement for this one.

The Mastermind is out in cinemas now. 

Rhythm & Roots
The first major solo exhibition from pioneering Black British photographer Jennie Baptiste is currently on show at Somerset House. Three decades’ worth of work has been curated into a comprehensive portrait of one of the country’s most defining photographers. Famous for her captivating portraits of youth culture across the 90s, Baptiste documented London’s dancehall scene and the rise of hip hop and R&B that followed, photographing some of music’s most recognisable faces along the way.

Rhythm & Roots runs at Somerset House until 4th January 2026, more info here.

New pub on the block
Taking over the Grade II listed home of one of the East End’s oldest pie and mash shops, The Black Eel is the newest addition to Kingsland High Street. A pub with a 150-seat beer garden, darts boards and a private karaoke room, The Black Eel really is a Saturday night one-stop shop. Riley’s is taking over the kitchen, a project from chef Billy Fisher, who has built a menu of comforting small plates featuring pork ribs, pickles and hot honey, steamed mussels with red onion, and marinated chestnut mushrooms with garlic, parsley and lemon. On a Sunday, dig into traditional roast dinners of roast pork belly, beef sirloin or celeriac with hazelnut crumb, accompanied by organic British veg and fresh gravy.

The Black Eel is located at 41 Kingsland High Street, E8 2JS, more info here.
