Watch A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder

Half term is in full swing, and if you have a teenage daughter to entertain, the BBC has you covered: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is back for series two. Based on Holly Jackson's trilogy of novels, Wednesday star Emma Myers leads as Pip, a precocious teen in the leafy, close-knit village of Little Kilton who refuses to accept the answers of the adults around her when they just don’t seem quite right. In series one, that meant launching her own investigation into the murder of a girl at her school five years ago (under the guise of a school project), while in series 2 Pip launches an investigative podcast when another local teenager goes missing. It's a wonderful teen drama for the modern age – and you'll probably end up being gripped by the action, too. All episodes streaming now on BBC iPlayer.

Going Out

Go To Mount Street Neighbourhood Summer Festival

C&TH Partnership

Mount Street is one of Mayfair’s most unique streets: archetypal red-brick townhouses; a world-class collective of galleries, restaurants and retail; and a long history of cultural occupancy. Sir Winston Churchill lived at no. 105 for half a decade, and the street has been home to Britain’s leading art dealers, writers and gentry for generations. An event to book ahead for June is the Mount Street Neighbourhood Summer Festival (encompassing South Audley Street, Carlos Place and neighbouring destinations) which returns for its second edition. Timed to coincide with London Gallery Weekend, the programme has a particular emphasis on art while also drawing on the neighbourhood’s deep foothold in publishing, fashion and food. A cultural hub at 62 South Audley Street will anchor the programme, with contributions from Thames & Hudson, Kathryn Maple, By Walid and Le Monde Béryl, among others. Find the full guide and our pick of highlights here. 4 – 20 June, book at mountstreetneighbourhood.com

Psssst…

Fans will know him as toxic finance bro Cameron Sullivan in The White Lotus, but the real Theo James is more of an East London foodie type. The actor made his first foray into hospitality last year with Lupa, a neighbourhood Italian in Highbury, launched alongside restaurateur Ed Templeton (co-founder of Carousel and Cometa) and chef Naz Hassan. And now the trio are trying their luck in Hackney with a second restaurant, Ornella, inspired by the cuisine of Milan where Hassan grew up. We gave it a test drive. 

Whatever You Do, Don’t

Assume you need to spend hours in the gym to reap the benefits of exercise. Nutritionist Kim Pearson attended the recent Smart Ageing Summit, where personal trainer Lavina Mehta MBE shared the concept of ‘exercise snacks’: short bursts of movement woven into daily life to help counteract the very real issue of modern sedentary living. ‘The beauty of exercise snacks is their simplicity,’ writes Kim. ‘Balancing on one leg while brushing your teeth, squats while the kettle boils, taking the stairs or fitting in a brisk walk between meetings may sound small, but these moments of movement can quickly add up.’
