Free summer fun awaits design lovers this week, from visiting art, to family-friendly activities within the new nine elms development. Since most people seem to be on holiday, making the tubes surprisingly spacious, make the most of the emptiness of the city by meandering around ongoing exhibitions.
Check back regularly to keep up to date with London's latest happenings and our weekly recommendations!
Exhibition: "NOT The Royal Academy" | Until 19 August
Each year, the RA curates their summer exhibition, a celebration of emerging artists. Of the 12000+ pieces submitted each year, only 800 are shown after a lengthy judging and curating process. Inspired by the 19th Century Parisian 'Salon des Refuses', the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery returns for another year to offer the opportunity to see and buy the alternative collection of works.

Power of Summer 2017 | Until 1 September
As part of the Nine Elms development, the iconic Battersea Power Station is being revived, and the area regenerated. As part of this, there has been a focus on creating a vibrant community in the shadows of the power station, including a summer-long programme of activities. From theatre and cinema, to fitness and workshops for all ages, organisers have worked to create something for everyone.
