    London Weekend Guide: Solomun, Wes Anderson, and Samurai Exhibitions
    2026/02/07
    Welcome to your London weekend guide. Whether you're looking to kick off Saturday morning or plan ahead for the coming days, we've got some fantastic events happening across the capital right now.

    If you're an early riser, Alexandra Palace is hosting Solomun, the legendary house music icon, tonight. According to Alexandra Palace's event listing, doors open at half past five this evening with the performance running until quarter to eleven. Solomun is fresh from a sold-out five-hour set on the Thames and is making his Alexandra Palace debut. There's no opening act, so you'll want to arrive early. The venue notes this is an eighteen-plus event, and be prepared for an immersive experience from one of electronic music's most iconic figures.

    For something completely different, head to the Design Museum where you can step into the extraordinary world of filmmaker Wes Anderson. The Design Museum reports that over seven hundred items from his archives are on display for the first time ever in the UK. You'll see everything from costumes and set replicas to props from classics like The Grand Budapest Hotel. This retrospective runs through July, so you've got plenty of time, but it's absolutely worth prioritizing.

    If you're hungry for culture, the British Museum's Samurai exhibition is drawing massive crowds. According to the British Museum, this exhibition explores the reality and myths of Japan's warrior class, featuring everything from battle gear to paintings showing how samurai lived during times of peace as poets and painters. It's a fascinating look at a thousand-year-old culture that runs through May.

    For something more indulgent, Café Royal is offering a David Bowie-inspired afternoon tea in their legendary gold-leaf dining room, the same space where Bowie held his famous Ziggy Stardust farewell party. You can enjoy Bowie-themed sandwiches and cakes while a pianist plays his greatest hits.

    Music lovers might also check out Dark Clouds Over Camden Four happening this evening at the Black Heart in Camden, featuring alternative and metal performances.

    The Lee Miller retrospective at Tate Britain is one of the UK's largest ever collections of work from the remarkable fashion model turned war photographer. According to Tate Britain, over two hundred fifty of her prints are on display, with many never shown before. However, this closes February fifteenth, so if you're interested, this weekend is your last chance.

    There's truly something for everyone this weekend in London. Thank you for tuning in and make sure to subscribe. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease dot ai.
