Or you can just visit the museum for free.Like many ancient buildings, St John’s Gate and the Norman crypt have had a tumultuous past. These extraordinary medieval structures have survived against the odds because of the varied uses they have served over the centuries.
Follow in the footsteps of knight-monks, printers, literati, publicans and philanthropists in a whistle-stop tour through 900 years of history. Learn about the characters who lived, worked and entertained here and how they adapted and re-imagined the buildings to meet their needs.
Tours will last 60 minutes and include the Priory Church, crypt and historic rooms in St John’s Gate.

- PWYC Mexican Landscape Painting + SocialThe National Gallery, London, WC2N 5DN
Follow 👉this link👈 to get your 18:30 ticket, you can choose how much to pay
The exhibition should take around 45min followed by socialising at a nearby watering hole.See the first UK exhibition of Mexico’s much-loved artist, José MarÃa Velasco.
Velasco, working in Mexico in the 19th century, was a man of many interests. He was fascinated by advances in geology, the archaeology of his home country, the study of local flora, and the increasing presence of industrialisation.
He painted the sweeping landscapes of the Valley of Mexico, the home of modern-day Mexico City, with exquisite detail. His impressive panoramic views of the valley reveal allusions to Mexico's historic past and its rapidly modernising present.

London in the Second World War - Exhibition
In this small but info-dense free exhibition at The London Archives you can explore stories of Londoners during the Second World War. What was it like to live through the Blitz, to see your neighbourhood change overnight, or to be a volunteer with one of the city’s emergency services?
Clerkenwell Queer History Walk
After the exhibition, we will explore Clerkenwell's queer history by walking around the neighbourhood for about 90 minutes finishing at Smithfield Market. From Molly houses to adult cinemas and cutting edge nightclubs, Clerkenwell had it all.
This is a self guided tour but I'm happy to be the narrator.See comments below for updates or use the meetup app for live notifications.

- Joe Orton's "Entertaining Mr Sloane" at the Young VicThe Young Vic , London
Come join us at the theatre for cult gay playwright Joe Orton's "Entertaining Mr Sloane" at the Young Vic in Waterloo. Ticket prices range from £12 to £57. You will need to purchase a ticket directly from the theatre which you can do here.
I will be at the theatre from 18.00, and will reserve a table in the bar nearer the time (as well as figure out how to make myself identifiable). Full casting not yet released, but Tamzin Outhwaite confirmed who put on a belting performance as the ghastly Beverley in Theatre Royal Stratford East's revival of "Abigail's Party" last year.
Blurb about the play from the Young Vic is as follows:
"'Tell him to put some trousers on. Cantering around the house with a bare bum… Can’t leave you alone for five minutes.'
When lonely Kath offers the mysterious Mr Sloane a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dada remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit.
Nadia Fall launches her first season as Young Vic Artistic Director with Joe Orton’s 1964 cult classic brimming with manipulation, seduction, and a devilish wit."
