Things to do

The Cultural Salon, Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard, Tue, £20. A series of cultural talks with a view, these events (focusing on design, art, literature, fashion and music) take place high up The Shard. Guest speakers are chosen according to the 'East meets West' theme, and tickets include champagne and canapés.

RHS London Harvest Festival Show, RHS Lindley Hall, Tue-Wed, £5, £8 on the door, RHS members free. Some of the UK's finest nurseries, growers and independent producers will cart their harvest produce to the Royal Horticultural Society this October for their annual celebration of autumnal fruit and vegetables.

Christie’s Lates, Christie's South Kensington, Tue, free. This month's late event focuses on the art of collecting and restoration. Guests can win prizes if they're able to distinguish original antiques from exceptional copies, and you can explore objects destined for upcoming auctions.

Fungi Breakfast, The Holly Bush, Wed, £35. A two-hour walk offering an introduction to fungi found on Hampstead Heath and the places you'll find them flourishing. Your outing will be followed by a cooked breakfast of eggs, bacon and mushrooms (not the fruits of your morning's meander but supplied by 'official sources') at the Holly Bush in Hampstead.

Hello Love Festival, Paper Mill Studios, Thu, free. This four-day festival aims to provide a platform for people to talk, think and learn more about cancer through a series of events, activities and exhibitions promoting healthy and sustainable living.
