As if we needed an excuse to head over to Broadgate (hey there, City boys!), this Wednesday and Thursday will see a plethora of treatments and activities on offer at the Broadgate Welcome Centre, including facials, manicures and yoga and Pilates sessions. The best part? It’s all free – just book your place here.

Thought Easter egg hunts were just for kids? So wrong. Baileys Chocolat Luxe and Harvey Nichols have joined forces to reclaim Easter for grown-ups, with an immersive experience taking cues from the Rococo era culminating in a six course feast prepared by the Chiappa Sisters, and all for just £25. Book here – but be quick.

Surely marking the official start of summer, this Easter weekend sees one of London’s first festivals of the year as Yard Life takes over Islington Metal Works for two days of fantastic new music. Snap up a weekend ticket now for just £35, and feel all warm and fuzzy knowing all profits go to MS Research in memory of the organiser’s dad.

There’s no-one that does glamour quite like the Italians, which is why the V&A has dedicated a whole exhibition to them, opening this Saturday. The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945 – 2014 features items from historic fashion houses including Valentino, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni and Pucci: basically, it’s a must-see.

Just in time for the long, hot summer we’re all praying for, Vista has reopened with a new cocktail menu designed in collaboration with Peckham Rye and inspired by classic British tailoring. Take in the open-air views over Trafalgar Square with friends, but be sure to book (020 7870 2900) – when the sun’s out it fills up fast.
