Nice Things This Week

The last warm evenings of the year, and what to do with them. London in late August has a particular quality. The parks are worn thin from three months of use. The light turns amber around seven and the air cools by ten. Almost every outdoor programme in the city is now in its final fortnight, which lends the whole thing a useful urgency. You either go this week or you wait until next May.
Here are 9 ways to spend the evenings that are left, from a floating lido in the Docklands to a car park roof in Peckham.

9 Outdoor Dates for the End of Summer in London

With the heatwave in full swing, we want to be anywhere but inside - unless there's aircon, which, in British homes, doesn't exist. So: dinner on a paddleboard, a bottle of rosé in a Lime bike basket packed with ice, or the nearest patch of grass with a picnic. Meals don't need to be complicated. Wherever you end up, just not inside.

Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design returns with a jam-packed programme of exhibitions, installations and brand takeovers across the city. It’s a lot to soak up, with more than 50 brands taking part this year – but we’ve got you covered.
From interactive installations to first-time collaborations, anniversary milestones and an oyster and champagne bar, here’s what you need to know ahead of the viral design week.

3 Days of Design

Good renovation advice is almost always retrospective. You have to make the mistakes first. Room by Room is a new series from Glassette where we ask designers and homeowners to walk us through a single space: what wasn't working, what they spent too much on (and whether it was worth it), and what they'd tell you before you pick up a sledgehammer.
For the latest instalment of Room by Room, we spoke to Corey Hemingway, co-founder of design-led estate agency Hemingway+K, about the kitchen extension of her 1960s London townhouse. What started as a small, dingy space became a warm, light-filled room designed to do everything at once: cook, work, host, and connect seamlessly to the garden beyond.
Twelve months in the making, the project came with its share of surprises - deeper foundations, escalating construction costs, and the occasional challenge of being, in Corey's words, a "tyrannical perfectionist". Along the way, she learned the value of trusting contractors, following instinct when choosing materials, and investing in the elements that shape a room's atmosphere.
From Douglas fir walls and butter-yellow joinery to the Accoya sliding doors that frame the garden, Corey takes us through the decisions, splurges and lessons behind her favourite room in the house.

Spend five minutes with chef Santiago Lastra, the force behind London’s KOL, where Mexican cooking is filtered through a fiercely personal, produce-led lens. We catch him mid-service, deep in rhubarb season, talking flavour as the ultimate non-negotiable and food as an act of celebration. From spicy, fresh plates designed to make you order another round, to the quiet power of teamwork in the kitchen, Santiago reflects on patience, joy, and why the best meals are colourful, generous, and made to be shared.

Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration - handpicked by the Glassette team.

Lighting under £200, but far from ordinary. These are designs that do more than illuminate - they transform spaces with warmth, personality, and charm. The Portable  Pierre Charpin Lamp by HAY (£105.00) slips seamlessly from table to terrace, while Josh Page's Block Lamp Base (£180.00) lends sculptural presence to any corner. For earthy elegance, the Hiko Lamp by Amanita Labs (£85.00) balances form and function. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to cast gentle light and unmistakable character.

Join chef Rachel Khoo as she takes us on a journey through her life in food. From baking wonky gingerbread people with her mum to watching her grandma make flaky apple strudel with lashings of vanilla custard, the way Rachel talks about food is wonderfully sensory and comforting. She discusses the art of the gathering, food being a way of creating connection and reminds us that cooking isn’t always about getting it perfect. There’s pleasure to be found in the process, no matter how simple.
