### ADMIRE COOL-GUY STYLE HERE: GarçonJon Exhibition

To celebrate the publication of award-winning photographer Jonathan Daniel Pryce’s book *Garçon Style*, South Place Hotel is hosting an exhibition of his work. Over the last five years, Pryce (known as GarçonJon online) has become one of the world’s best-loved street-style photographers, working for *Vogue*, *GQ*, *Vanity Fair*, *Esquire* and Mr Porter. This is a rare chance to see his work up close in a gallery environment, with the South Place Hotel also giving exhibition guests the opportunity to buy a signed copy of *Garçon Style* as well as one of the ten A3 prints on show. Handily, the exhibition is next door to the hotel’s Secret Garden, which has just been transformed into a Gin Jungle for post-viewing G&amp;Ts.

This is not a shop. It’s an inspiration hub, a tech playground, a games arcade, a cookery school, a gallery, a work space and a music venue.

Many of the activities are free. Highlights include rum tasting with Laki Kane and Hotel Chocolat, a neon life-drawing class, a Guardian Live music night with Arlo Parks and an open-mic night.

Historic England is highlighting the wartime past of St Paul’s cathedral with a spectacular free light show.

### CARBO-LOAD HERE: Emilia’s Pasta

Finally, World Pasta Day is here. To celebrate, Emilia’s Crafted Pasta will be giving away free pasta at its Alie Street restaurant on Friday. Last year, more than 300 pasta lovers celebrated their favourite carb; this year, the restaurant is aiming even higher with its biggest giveaway yet of fresh pasta. At two sittings (12pm-4pm and 5.30pm-9.30pm) guests will choose from seven signature dishes including fresh pappardelle with a slow-cooked bolognese sauce. It’s walk-ins only, so best arrive early.

### GET YOUR KICKS HERE: Rugby X

If England’s Rugby World Cup semi-final with New Zealand isn’t enough oval-ball action for one weekend, get yourself down to the O2, where a new five-a-side game called Rugby X is taking place. This international tournament sees the game stripped back to basics, played on a smaller pitch with fewer players and simplified rules. The English men’s side will include some of our Olympic sevens silver medallists. Expect fast, intense matches with both male and female teams competing against a backdrop live and loud music.  
   
*The​ O2, Greenwich, SE10 0DX
