We're here to help. That's why we have efficient suggestions for simultaneous art and food, burning twice the calories, celebrating Carnival without the chaos, and yes, the Shit Box.
Eat AND See

Until the end of the month, you can see amazing scrap metal sculpture by Samuel Spenser at The Wapping Project (where the food, drink and ambiance is always sublime). Most of the works have already been bought, but most of them wouldn't fit in your flat anyway. Nick Cave bought one that will make you jump.

Go

We know you know, but could we not mention it? The Notting Hill Carnival, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Go, or stay far away.

Drink

Can't quite face the Carnival? Until the end of the month, pick your poison and stop by Santo for a Notting Hill Chilli Thrill (tequila, pineapple and mango), or Paradise by Way of Kensal Green for a Carnival Nonsense (rum and coconut).

Burn

We thought altitude training was only for people, you know, climbing corporate ladders. Or mountains. But apparently, you burn twice as many calories through a Hypoxic workout (and for those who prefer the couch, there's also a variety that involves no exercise, only breathing oxygen). On offer at The Altitude Centre in Covent Garden.

Buy

If you've got any reason to be outdoors for an extended period of time, make sure you have a Shit Box with you. It comes with biodegradable bags, and can also be used as a stool. No, not that kind of stool!
