It's an age old debate - what part of London is the best? The North of the Thames or the South?
Well, it looks like the South dwellers come out on top this week. If you happen to live in Streatham you're in luck... the Streatham Festival kicks off on Thursday the 6th of June and carries on until Sunday the 16th.
If Big Brother and noshing on Pot Noodles is all you've got planned for the weekend then shame on you. Get off the sofa, get out of the house and get your butt down to Streatham. There's something for everyone. Last year, thousands of people took up the opportunity to participate in a huge variety of events including music, dance, art, poetry, film, theatre, walks, talks, open days, sports and comedy. This year there'll be more culture than you'll know what to do with - the hardest part is deciding what you want to see.
There's a BBQ garden party for the over 50's, parades, jazz extravaganzas, Brazilian festivities, inspirational talks, street dance, soulful summer grooves, heritage walks Shakespeare and even a film festival. Phew - I need a lie down just talking about it all.
Our little lastminute.com air-wave addict Katie, will even host a radio show highlighting the events. Post your song requests and shout outs in the comments section at the bottom of this post.
