To pay tribute: Dead Poets Society Secret Cinema
 
Secret Cinema’s organisers have had their hands full with the Back to the Future event, but they’ve found time to honour Robin Williams with a screening of Dead Poets Society this Friday.
£25, visit eventbrite.co.uk 
 
To dance: Jazz Festival Canary Wharf
 
Some soul is to be injected into those shiny, impersonal skyscrapers. Well, strictly speaking it isn’t soul but jazz. Canary Wharf Jazz Festival is the largest free jazz festival in London and always attracts the biggest contemporary names in the genre.
Free, visit canarywharf.com
 
To drink: London Craft Beer Festival
 
Wax that moustache, strap on those braces and hop (geddit?) on down to this weekend’s London Craft Beer Festival at venue du jour Oval Space off the Hackney Road. One ticket entitles you to unlimited small measures.
All-inclusive tickets £35, visit londoncraftbeerfestival.co.uk 
 
To watch: pop-up cinema at the National Theatre
 
Watching a movie on top of a building is one of the trendiest things you can possibly do in London. Now the National Theatre are getting in on the act with rooftop screenings of some of their biggest hits of recent years.
Adults, £25.00, Children, £20.00, visit nationaltheatre.org.uk
