Things to do in London this weekend, from the Fat Badger to a Cartier show

The Bacon Factory, until April 25

In a bid to challenge issues of sustainability and the “politics of consumption”, Russian artist Petr Davydtchenko is offering up a menu of roadkill at The Bacon Factory art space in Kennington as part of an exhibition. Tonight (April 17), he is to join forces with Japanese chef Masayoshi Haraguchi (former executive chef at the Michelin-starred Dominique Bouchet in Paris) to serve fox head soup and donkey prosciutto, among other morsels.

Camden Art Centre, until June 22

A “monumental” show of the Turner Prize-winning artist Richard Wright’s work, his largest UK exhibition in more than 20 years. Known for his ceiling and wall-based paintings, Wright has painted directly onto the interior of the building, while works in glass, on paper and on 3D objects will provide a keen insight into his practices. There will be more than 50 creations to see in a Victorian space blooming in natural light.

Notting Hill

Londoners go mad for “hidden gems”, despite the fact there’s arguably no such thing. In a city fuelled by social media and vapes it is tantalising for New Balance wearers to hear of restaurants uncharted by hyperbolic Instagram posters. The Fat Badger (from the guys behind the Pelican, the Hero, Canteen, et al) has played a blinder to that end: it opened quietly, by invitation only. Bookings are now open to the public. Be quick. Hype happens for a reason and this is somewhere you absolutely want to be. thefatbadgerw10.com

Disney+, out now

Disney’s new show follows Elisa Blix (Denise Gough), an air hostess on private jets who allows her daughter Lucia to go on a playdate with her new best friend Josephine at her family home. Josephine’s mother, Rebecca (Holliday Grainger), seems friendly, but when Elisa returns to collect Lucia, the family and her daughter are gone. An international manhunt follows, as journalist Selma (Ambika Mod) investigates.

In cinemas from April 18

In the latest war movie promising to tantalise those with a love of action and drama, Warfare arrives with an ensemble cast of young talent, including Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. Directed by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, it follows a platoon of Navy SEALs as they embark on a dangerous mission in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006, deep in the throes of bloodshed and despair. The film captures the chaos and brotherhood of war as a docudrama retold through soldiers’ memories of real events.

Out April 22

The aesthetic woman of the 1880s had no truck with corsets; she’d pose languidly in green velvets and draped silks from Liberty’s dress department. Liberty is 150 years old and this book reminds us of its part in the artistic movements of the time and the revolution in women’s dress. Lovely pictures. Obviously.

Out April 18

The American musician Zach Condon returns as his orchestral pop project Beirut with an epic album more than an hour long, featuring 18 tracks and inspired by Judith Schalansky’s German novel Verzeichnis einiger Verluste. This is Condon’s first album as Beirut since 2023 and was commissioned by the Swedish circus troupe Kompani Giraff. It is to be played during the group’s acrobatic stage show. Tracks include the single Guericke’s Unicorn.

Battersea Power Station, April 18-21

Just in time for an Easter-based extravaganza, Battersea Power Station is to host its inaugural chocolate market, showcasing some of the UK and Europe’s most beloved chocolatiers. On the bill are the likes of Belgium’s oldest manufacturer, Meurisse; vegan firm Diana’s Chocolates; and Cornwall’s Chocolarder. As well as classic chocolates, there’ll be cakes, cookies, truffles and more, as well as eggs to take home for loved ones.

Guildhall, June 4

A fabulous night hosted by the Lady Mayoress of London, Florence King, is to take place at the historic Guildhall, with Lord Mayor Alastair King in situ (though sadly not in drag himself). Co-hosted by drag queen Dolly Trolley, the night is in aid of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. “It’s going to be such a fun night, full of irreverence and a real carnival feel,” the Mayoress told The London Standard. All proceeds will go to help the homeless. thelordmayorsappeal.org
