Three things you won’t want to miss in London this Thursday

1.  More than 50 dazzling light installations will be switched on across the city tonight for Lumiere London festival. See giant lamps at King's Cross, a floating light bubble above Oxford Street and a pedal-powered installation at Westminster Cathedral. 

2. Head to Oslo in Hackney where six indie gin distilleries will go head-to-head for the coveted title of the World’s Best Martini 2018. Shaken, stirred, as long as there's gin, we’re in.

3. Try a round of Bardeblah at Balham Bowls Club, an intellectual game of persuasion centred on political and social issues. The best part? It's free.
