The annual Totally Thames festival (1-30 Sep) brings more than 150 events to the capital, from underground concerts to illuminated art. Totally Thames’ director Adrian Evans says: ‘For our 20th birthday, we are exploring the working river and the history of the Thames’ boatyards through spoken word and oral history, film and photography. We’re also celebrating our 8 beautiful river with boat races, barge pulls, rallies, paddleboarding – even a river swim!’ Taking the 300th anniversary of Handel’s Water Music as inspiration, composer Iain Chambers is hosting Bascule Chamber Concerts inside Tower Bridge (22-24 Sep). The concerts feature live recordings of river sounds and performances from clarinettist Kate Romano and spoken word Boat Poets artist Kayo Chingonyi, while the Franco-Cameroonian singer Coco Mbassi performs a piece inspired by boats carrying immigrants. | LON DON PLAN N E R LP SEP RIVER FEATURE.indd 8 08/08/2017 10:06 TOWER BRIDGE BASCULE © DAVID LEVENE; CLASSIC BOAT SHOW AND RIVERS OF THE WORLD COURTESY OF TOTALLY THAMES; COCO MBASSI © SAMUEL NJA KWA TOTALLY THAMES FESTIVAL MAIN IMAGE OF GREAT RIVER RACE © WWW.RICKSORENY.CO.UK; BOAT POETS © ANDREAS BROOKS; GRAPHICS © ISTOCK As the Totally Thames festival returns with a splash, Sarah Riches sets sail along London’s waterways to discover how you can make the most of it Bascule Chamber Concerts inside Tower Bridge The St Katharine Docks Classic Boat Festival TOWER BRIDGE BASCULE © DAVID LEVENE; CLASSIC BOAT SHOW AND RIVERS OF THE WORLD COURTESY OF TOTALLY THAMES; COCO MBASSI © SAMUEL NJA KWA MAIN IMAGE OF GREAT RIVER RACE © WWW.RICKSORENY.CO.UK; BOAT POETS © ANDREAS BROOKS; GRAPHICS © ISTOCK Rivers of the World exhibition at City Hall In keeping with the theme of river stories, Working River: London’s Boatyards (1-30 Sep) brings to life the history of the river’s boatyards through oral history, film and photography, while spoken word artists spend time on boats before performing Boat Poets at the Royal Festival Hall (6, 25 & 28 Sep).

Emma Levine interviews the artist who is redrawing London t sounded complete nonsense to me at the time,’ remarked Gerald Scarfe, when the band Pink Floyd asked him to create an animation to accompany the album, film and tour for The Wall in the late 1970s. It’s not surprising that this seemed like an out-of-the-blue request. The London-born Scarfe has been best known for his sharp political cartoons for more than half a century now. In the true tradition of a caricature artist, his work has been a constant commentary on public figures, ever since his first cartoons for the satirical magazines Private Eye and Punch in the 1960s. ‘When I first came to prominence, they said I was the new Hogarth. I could see what they meant,’ he comments, referring to the English 18th-century satirical artist. ‘I believe it is important for satirical art to be with us always. To be able to question our leaders is a very healthy state. I always think rather like the old court jester, who was able to poke fun at the king and was able to make comments on behalf of the common people. We have a great tradition of satirical art in this country – examples being Hogarth, Gillray, Cruikshank and Rowlandson.’ “TO QUESTION OUR LEADERS IS HEALTHY” 14 LONDON CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF HIM London is celebrating Scarfe. The House of Illustration hosts Gerald Scarfe: Stage and Screen (from 22 Sep). It turns the spotlight on the theatrical side of this artist, exploring lesser-known designs, from Hercules to The Nutcracker. The Victoria and Albert Museum’s Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains (to 1 Oct) includes exhibits and interviews about the album and film The Wall. ‘Mostly I’m known for my political cartoons, but as people will see I have entered many other worlds: rock and roll, opera, ballet, animation and theatre. This explores those areas – bringing my drawings to life, bringing them off the page and breathing life into them through theatre and animation,’ he says. SCARFE DOES MORE THAN JUST POLITICAL DRAWING Scarfe is something of a Renaissance man, as demonstrated by his diverse career. Not only his collaboration with Pink Floyd – ‘They might be rock gods, but to me they were just regular guys’ – but in 1994 Disney approached him to design the characters and sets for the animated film Hercules. Later, Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker courted controversy before it was staged at the London Coliseum, when Scarfe designed killer mice with gas masks, brandishing Kalashnikovs. ‘It is a great escape from drawing the same wretched politicians over and over,’ he comments. | LON DON PLAN N E R LP SEP GERALD SCARFE FEATURE.indd 14 08/08/2017 11:13 LP SEP GERALD SCARFE FEATURE.indd 15 08/08/2017 11:15 HE’S NICE TO HIS FANS! As a precocious art student in 1987, I had the pleasure of meeting my hero, Scarfe. While studying his work, alongside other British caricature art, I made an unannounced visit to his west London home. He and his wife, actress Jane Asher, welcomed me graciously and showed me around his upstairs studio where I was able to see his pieces. The ever-imaginative Scarfe went 3D to create one of my favourite pieces, Chairman Mao: a sturdy, red leather armchair designed in the form of the late Chinese leader, Chairman Mao. It has overtones of Salvador Dali’s sofa shaped like the mouth of Mae West – although this has real bite to it. HE HAS DRAWN THE POLITICAL GREATS He has attacked leaders with his razor-sharp pen, mainly for The Sunday Times for 44 years, from where he recently retired. Nothing escapes his scrutiny: one of his earliest pieces was of Sir Winston Churchill looking frail in the House of Commons in 1964. It was deemed too controversial to publish in The Times, but Private Eye put it on the front cover when he died. ‘At the time I drew Churchill we, the public, only knew his iconic image: the bulldog with the cigar clenched within his teeth facing the Hun from the white cliffs of Dover. When I went to draw him in 16 Murals in Scarfe’s Bar the House of Commons, it was the first time I’d seen him, the icon, as now a shambling, senile wreck helped into the chamber of the House of Commons by young MPs. It was a shock to see what he’d become.’ Margaret Thatcher was often portrayed ‘with a stabbing, aquiline nose, drooping eyes and a small mouth, full of bloody incisors,’ he describes in an interview. Tony Blair was portrayed as an evil-looking Ronald McDonald. Scarfe’s work is often grotesque, and sometimes even obscene. NOT EVERYONE LIKES HIS WORK ‘The cartoonist’s job is to be as truthful as possible. In Private Eye they encouraged me to attack. I’m happy to draw some of these characters as pigs, or demons, or whatever – that’s my job,’ Scarfe says. ‘I should be able to attack anybody – although that can be difficult at the moment,’ he added, making a sombre reference to the attacks on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in 2015. But do his cartoons always meet with approval? Some people balk at his creations, including readers, publishers and the subjects themselves. In 2013, The Sunday Times publisher Rupert Murdoch was forced to apologise when Scarfe’s blood-splattered cartoon of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was deemed by many to have crossed the line.

Most prominent figures do not react to their caricature, but perhaps they feel it is beneath their dignity.’ But will there always be politicians who inspire Scarfe to satirise? ‘The most memorable are usually the wickedest – people like Richard Nixon, Idi Amin, Enoch Powell, Tony Blair and George Bush. And now there’s the frightful Donald Trump.’ | LON DON PLAN N E R LP SEP GERALD SCARFE FEATURE.indd 18 08/08/2017 11:18 Really great days out that make a real difference close encounters @zsllondonzoo #ZooLife Experience it for yourself at zsl.org/london Camden Town | Regent’s Park LZ_LondonPlanner_Sept_210x137_AW1.indd 1 LP ZSL LONDON ZOO.indd 1 31/07/2017 03/08/2017 13:09 10:12 DISCOVER SW2 Brixton The Mayor of London’s #SeeMoreLondon campaign encourages you to visit neighbourhoods.

The independent architecture education organisation, OpenCity, has hosted the festival since 1992, granting visitors access to places that are not usually open to the public. Rory Olcayto, Open-City’s director, says: ‘Open House gives you the chance to explore the city’s great buildings and places that are usually off-limits. From contemporary private homes to super-tall skyscrapers as well as hidden gems, nothing is off-limits.’ In recent years, Crossrail construction sites, embassies and zero-carbon buildings have taken part, as well as the ArcelorMittal Orbit and archive buildings in Kew Gardens. More than 800 buildings are taking part this year. The iconic Tower 42 and 30 St Mary Axe – better known as the Gherkin (above) – are included again, and you can also explore the BT Tower and The Shard. New for 2017 is a remodelled Victorian railway cottage in Wood Green, north London, which has a moveable kitchen to give residents’ flexibility and a larger living area when required.

This happened during the London Design Festival (16-24 Sep) in 2006, when Tom Dixon gave away 500 of his polystyrene chairs to the public. The event celebrates its 15th birthday this year in eight design districts across the city, including Mayfair and Chelsea. Since 2007, the festival has commissioned designers to construct a temporary structure. This year, Villa Walala is a huge, colourful installation in Broadgate by textile designer Camille Walala, with stress squeeze balls (www.londondesignfestival.com). Designjunction (21-24 Sep) brings cutting-edge exhibits to the King’s Cross area. There’s plenty for everyone to enjoy, such as canalside Granary Square’s installation of Turkish ceramic pieces, in the central fountain space, by more than 30 ceramic designers (www.thedesignjunction.co.uk). Over in east London, The Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane hosts another part of the festival: London Design Fair (21-24 Sep). Bringing together 500 exhibitors from 28 countries, it’s a vast array of established brands, independent designers and exhibitions. On display are contemporary examples of lighting, furniture and conceptual installations, leaving you wondering if you can find space in your home for a chic Nordic lampshade or whimsical sculpture from Italy (www.londondesignfair.co.uk). Look out for more displays, events, tours, talks and specially commissioned installations across London’s museums and galleries. – Emma Levine LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL IMAGES COURTESY OF LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL; BASSACS BY BRIDGET RILEY COURTESY OF 20/21 BRITISH ART FAIR Clockwise from left: Textile Field by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec; Perspectives by John Pawson; The Tournament in Trafalgar Square by Jaime Hayón | LON DON PLAN N E R LP SEP M&G.indd 54 09/08/2017 16:37 Fall in love with Wimbledon Want to feel the weight of the Championships trophies?

The Brooklyn-born graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who died aged 27 in 1988, thrived in Manhattan’s post-punk art scene when he was a teenager. His vibrant, raw imagery – from drawing with his own blood to collaging old baseball cards – won the admiration of fellow artists and led to a collaboration with Andy Warhol. Basquiat even created murals for New York’s nightclubs. This rare exhibition brings together 100 of his works and is long overdue.

Les Enfants Terribles – the team behind the renowned Dinner with the Twits and Alice’s Adventures Underground – now presents the award-winning, comical musical at the world’s oldest music hall, Wilton’s Music Hall, to mark the show’s 10-year anniversary. The Grade II-listed venue, with its floorboards, arches and original features, is a suitable backdrop for this Vaudeville-style show. It’s co-directed by Oliver Lansley and James Seager. Seagar says: ‘We have wanted to do a show at Wilton’s for some time as it’s a magnificent, beautiful building that suits the company’s aesthetic wonderfully. We’ve never done the show in London – it’s been to Australia, Singapore, Poland, Norway, Germany, Scotland and Malaysia.’ The Terrible Infants is a collection of five interconnected short stories by Lansley and Sam Wyer. Dark, twisted and surreal, the show blends physical theatre with mime, song and dance, alliteration and rhyme. The production has been likened to the style of Roald Dahl, Tim Burton and the Brothers Grimm stories, and is reminiscent of a carnival or Gothic fairytale. Dame Judi Dench provides a recorded narration, as the cast regales silly stories about cruel children let loose from nursery. This timeless show for kids and adults is not to be missed. – Sarah Riches 1 Graces Alley, E1 8JB.

The British actress teams up with director Natalie Abrahami once again after they previously worked together on Happy Days, also at the Young Vic. Originally a radio play by Arthur Kopit, Wings premiered on stage in the US in 1978, after which it received Tony and Pulitzer nominations. Stevenson plays a former pilot and wingwalker, who has a stroke and struggles to cope with the loss of her speech and memory. Kopit based the character on patients he met in a rehabilitation centre after his father had a stroke, and captures her sense of frustration and disorientation in this moving monologue.

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park welcomes people of all abilities to Parallel London (3 Sep; p. 83), a series of runs, walks and races for all. It’s a fun, mass participation event where you can push your pals in wheelchairs or kids in buggies, with five courses, from 100m to 10km. It’s all about the taking part! www.parallellondon.com THE LIONS ROAR It’s been a year since England faced Slovakia in the World Cup Qualifiers, and now it’s time for the reverse match at Wembley Stadium (4 Sep; p. 83). Both teams stand a good chance of making next year’s finals in Russia – but as all pundits would say, nothing is guaranteed in football. www.wembleystadium.com LP SEP SPORT.indd 82 S ince American football sprung on to the London sporting stage in 2007, the annual NFL (National Football League) matches, held at Wembley and Twickenham, have gone from strength to strength. All the tickets for the matches in the International Season here sell out, such is the passion for the sport held by US expats and ‘converts’. London welcomes gridiron teams from over the pond to play four matches. At Wembley Stadium (24 Sep), the Baltimore Ravens make their debut in the city facing Jacksonville Jaguars – a team that has played here every year since 2013. Three further matches see New Orleans Saints against Miami Dolphins at Wembley (1 Oct), and at Twickenham, the home of English rugby, Arizona Cardinals vs LA Rams (22 Oct) and Minnesota Vikings vs Cleveland Browns (29 Oct). TV audiences for the Super Bowl have increased by more than 75 per cent, and the UK now has an NFL fan base of more than 13 million. American football is on our radar, now an officially recognised sport in UK universities and schools. Super Bowl-winning quarterback Kurt Warner, says: ‘We’ve seen an unbelievable fan base here. Every time we have a game here we are amazed at the support in London. Everyone would be excited to see a possible franchise – and a permanent home here for the game.’ – Emma Levine NFL © SEAN RYAN/NFL THENFLTOUCHDOWN INLONDON 08/08/2017 12:19 INFO To dial the UK, remove the first 0 and add 44.

It’s the venue for Kinetica Art fair (to 9 Sep), showcasing electronic and new media art. 9 Conduit St, W1S 2XG RAISING THE STEAKS True carnivores will love Meatopia (1-3 Sep) in Tobacco Dock, to watch top chefs and butchers at work, and sample meat cooked over logs or charcoal. Meat also gets theatrical here, with shows and demonstrations. www.meatopia.co.uk 90 T reat yourself to contemporary British cuisine at two new London venues that show off some of our creative young chefs. Ollie Dabbous opened his first restaurant, Dabbous, in 2012 on Charlotte Street, which quickly earned him a Michelin star. His latest venture is Henrietta in Covent Garden’s boutique hotel of the same name. Here, Dabbous uses leaves, sprigs of fresh herbs and rainbow-hued flowers in his seasonal dishes: starters include a rich beef tartare with nasturtium, and grilled flatbread with sesame labneh and spring blossoms. Should you eat it or Instagram it? Choose a main, perhaps seven-year grass-fed Simmental sirloin with crushed green herbs, or charred salmon with cockles, cucumber and lovage. A flaky custard tart packed with raspberries and pickled rose petals keeps the floral theme going – and is divine (14-15 Henrietta St, WC2E 8QH). Another new opening is Magpie, from Sam Herlihy and James Ramsden. These thirty-something chefs founded Pidgin, a Michelinstarred supper club-turnedrestaurant in Hackney. Their new place serves a modern interpretation of dim sum, with trolleys laden with small plates wheeled around to tables. Pick dishes to share, such as grilled celeriac with a watermelon barbecue sauce. Save space for dessert – the strawberry panzanella with olive oil ice cream is amazing. And to prove that the duo have retained their fun side, there’s a drinks trolley with cocktails (10 Heddon St, W1B 4BX). British chefs will always make their mark on the city, whatever their age. – Emma Levine | LON DON PLAN N E R LP SEP EATING OUT.indd 90 08/08/2017 12:32 THE STOKE HOUSE © PAUL WINCH-FURNESS THE ART OF DINING MAGPIE IMAGE COURTESY OF MAGPIE; HENRIETTA IMAGES COURTESY OF HENRIETTA; MEATOPIA COURTESY OF MEATOPIA Clockwise from left: Magpie; Henrietta; cocktails at Henrietta INFO To dial the UK, remove the first 0 and add 44.

The Refectory is a café by day, but after hours it transforms into an informal wine bar (Thur-Sat 6pm-11pm), serving rare bottles of wine from private cellars and auctions. There are also tutored wine tastings on alternate Friday evenings – you can also tuck into small plates while you’re there. L ondon is a world player on the jazz scene with 50-year-old established venues and many more young, pioneering ones. As the capital loses many of its music venues, it has become a priority for the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to promote smaller ones. Step back in time at famous jazz club Ronnie Scott’s (p. 102). Going strong since 1959, it has welcomed all the greats over the years, including Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. The informal Upstairs@ Ronnie’s bar and club is open until 3am, with events from jive nights to poetry slams. Reminiscent of an old-school speakeasy, you’ll want to wear your dancing shoes at Nightjar. Soak in the 1920s ambience sitting at a tiny candlelit table where your orders for food and drinks are taken– no queuing up at a busy bar. Jazz or swing bands play nightly, and there are sets after midnight at the weekend (129 City Rd, EC1V 1JB). Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston has won over jazz fans with its high-quality live shows in an informal setting. The volunteerrun venue keeps costs low, aiming to bring jazz to the masses and nurture new talent (11 Gillett Square, N16 8AZ). The Jazz Café in Camden has more of a nightclub feel, especially its DJ club nights Night Thing (Fri) and Soul City (Sat). You can dance in the standing area, or take a seat in the restaurant that overlooks the stage (5 Parkway, NW1 7PG). – Emma Levine www.visitlondon.com/music NIGHTJAR © REBECCA LITTLE; THE JAZZ CAFÉ COURTESY OF THE JAZZ CAFÉ; RONNIE SCOTT’S COURTESY OF RONNIE SCOTT’S; WINE IMAGE COURTESY OF WHITECHAPEL GALLERY THE ART OF WINE ALLTHATJAZZ Hackney Empire, London, England. visitbritain.com LP SEP NIGHTLIFE.indd 100 08/08/2017 12:46 ©VisitBritain/Rod Edwards Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Bristol, England. visitbritain.com LP VISIT BRITAIN.indd 1 03/08/2017 10:39 INFO Most bars are open 11am-11pm, most nightclubs are open 10pm-3am.

This image: Cumberland Lodge Below: Abbot’s Hospital BUILDING Enjoy Heritage Open Days festival with a visit to a building steeped in history – and rarely open to the public, says Alex Wellington I f you travel outside London on the weekend of 7-10 September you’ll find an extra-warm welcome. As part of the annual Heritage Open Days festival, 5,000 special events across the country see the doors opened to fascinating buildings that are usually closed, from artists’ studios to nuclear bunkers. Annie Reilly, an American, went to her first Heritage Open Days weekend 10 years ago and was immediately hooked. A decade later, she is now the manager of Heritage Open Days, bringing to it her immense personal enthusiasm as well as professional skills. ‘I came to the UK to get a master’s degree in Guildford, landed at the house I was living at, terribly jet-lagged, and had this real “what have I done with my life?” moment. I just had to go out for a walk. So I went to the city centre, where I found all this pink bunting strung up, ‘Open’ signs everywhere and people saying ‘Come in, it’s free’. 104 ‘I went into Abbot’s Hospital, a Jacobean almshouse founded in 1619 – amazingly, it is still being used as social housing. Then I crossed the street to the Royal Grammar School, which has one of the few chained libraries left in Britain, where the books are physically chained to the wall. It was wonderful to wander through the town, seeing these amazing sights. I have this slight American thing of being shocked just to find anything that is more than 300 years old, but I was also so impressed by the enthusiasm of the volunteers opening up their doors and giving up their time to talk about what Guildford has that is special. I became an avid fan, and went every year.’ VISIT HISTORIC BUILDINGS, FROM ARTISTS’ STUDIOS TO NUCLEAR BUNKERS CUMBERLAND LODGE © GRAHAM HOLBON/CUMBERLAND LODGE; ABBOT’S HOSPITAL © CHRIS LACEY SIGHTS | LON DON PLAN N E R LP SEP BEYOND LONDON.indd 104 08/08/2017 13:01 LP PG TEMPLATE.indd 1 03/08/2017 10:41 BEYOND LONDON EASTBOURNE OPENING THIS YEAR New to the packed programme this year, and accessible only during Heritage Open Days, is England’s first mosque, in Liverpool.

You can also visit a Roman burial barrow, excavated just before World War I. Voyaging through the ages, visit St John’s Abbey Gate, built in the early 15th century.
