This week is an overall celebration and exploration of the everyday. From food to feet, this weeks exhibitions and workshops look at the way in which we relate to the familiar things around us. The RIBA and UCL bring events which look at the development of areas, whether that is the introduction of a new civic building, or a look at how the Olympics changed our urban environment.
Don't miss out on California which closes soon, and check back regularly to keep up to date with London's latest happenings and our weekly recommendations!
Dulwich Picture Gallery Late: Feast | 6 October
Continuing the Dulwich Picture Gallery's series of art lates, this Friday evening will be focused on the essential rituals and history surrounding one of the most important parts of the every day; food. There will be alchemist workshops, edible installations, talks on the symbology of food in art, and the 'modern-day answer to still life painting'; a guide to instagramming your food.
Great British Buildings - The Bartlett School of Architecture | 4 October
AND
Great British Buildings: Civic | 11 October
This autumn, RIBA's Great British Buildings series focuses on RIBA award-winning buildings and architects. As part of this, tomorrow's tour of the new Bartlett School of Architecture celebrates the Hawkins Brown design, which provides a varied and celebrated building in which to create the leading architects of tomorrow.
Book yourself onto next week's talk on civic architecture to hear a discussion of three of 2017's best examples: New Scotland Yard, West Croydon Bus Station, and The Green, Nunhead.
Wade Guyton: Das New Yorker Atelier, Abridged | Until 4 February

Torbjørn Rødland: The Touch That Made You | Until 19 November
This exhibition celebrates the work of Wade Guyton, which explores the through paintings dragged through the idiosyncrasies of modern day printers.
Also on at the Serpentine Gallery is "The Touch That Made You", a showcase of Tobjørn Rødland's photography. Rødland works with the familiar, and twists perception with viscous substances to distort the viewer.
