Free to enter and free to attend\, the festival is an annual reminder of a time when Ladbroke Grove was to London what San Francisco was to America. \nOne of this year’s highlights is a feature on Laura Del-Rivo\, Britain’s first female beatnik author whose debut novel provided the inspiration for Michael Winner’s West 11. Supplementing her income by trading on Portobello Road Market while continuing to write about the changing life of the neighbourhood\, she was affectionately known as “The Tights Lady”. \nA curated evening on 17 September is dedicated to Pink Floyd and to collective art-making. Original shorts from the late 60s are shown alongside a newly released documentary on The Exploding Galaxy\, a group of artists\, musicians\, poets and dancers with a shared creative spirit. \nOne Foot in the Grove revived the spirit of psychedelia\, punk and 80s graffiti with a spectacular display of murals\, giant sculptures and fire-breathing robots under the Westway in 2009. While most traces have long since disappeared\, a ceramic mural by Carrie Reichardt and the Treatment Rooms Collective remains as a permanent reminder. Members of the collective return with a group show at The Muse to run alongside Portobello Film Festival. The exhibition opening party on 10 September is accompanied by a screening of Vive Le Punk\, Danny Garcia’s documentary marking 50 years of punk by following four bands still active today. \nThe opening night at The Gate Picturehouse on 3 September is the only ticketed event. There is no need to book for more than 200 new films. Tomorrow’s cinema today – all free to attend!

Reached via QR codes\, the names and faces of the perpetrators are presented alongside extensive supporting material. \nThe exhibition is complemented by a map of more than five thousand points of damage to cultural sites recorded across Ukraine\, and a 40-minute documentary by Secunda’s long-term collaborator David Miller. \n  \nFor more details\, click HERE URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/nature-morte-the-extermination-of-ukraine/2026-08-13/ LOCATION:The Fitzrovia Gallery\, 139 Whitfield Street\, London\, W1T 5EN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Events in London,Exhibitions,Free Events,Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/general-banner-Piers-Secunda-NATURE-MORTE.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="factor-m":MAILTO:info@factor-m.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260807T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260807T170000 DTSTAMP:20260804T113736Z CREATED:20260804T113736Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260804T113736Z UID:30133660-1786104000-1786122000@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Rain or Shine\, It's Picnic Time: Sandwich Sandwich and Heinz bring the picnic indoors for new sandwich launch DESCRIPTION:500 FREE sandwiches.
