FRIDAY FEATURE: THIS SUMMER'S HOTTEST EVENTS

If you're planning to visit London this summer, these are the hottest tickets in town. Whatever the weather London is a hive of activity, in the summer it is even more spectacular (if that's possible!) with countless things and places to see - tourist or age old inhabitant. This week we've decided to focus on our favourite time of the year and put together the events we'll most definitely be attending.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Since its recent opening Savage Beauty has been the hot topic on everyone's lips. More than two hundred of the late designer's original works will be on show, laid out in the style and structure of his world renown catwalk shows. A similar exhibition in New York presented one hundred of the British designer's works and was phenomenally successful, becoming one of New York's most visited exhibitions.
