Get crafty
Originally built as a sewing school in the 1800s, St Alfege Church Hall is hosting needlework classes once more. The hall is the new venue for Sewing Time, where you can learn to sew, knit, crochet, embroider, make patchwork or quilting, or simply practise your hobby in a friendly environment. There’s a range of Sewing Time courses to choose from, plus a pay-as-you-go Needlecraft Club on Tuesdays 10am-2pm and 6-10pm. For more information see

Behind the scenes No stranger to the silver screen, the Old Royal Naval College got its most recent showcase in The Iron Lady when the Painted Hall doubled as the Élysée Palace, official residence of the French president. Now you can take a movie-themed tour of the site with staff who’ve helped facilitate some of the many visiting Hollywood productions. “We’ll be talking to people about what it’s like behind the scenes of a film, but we hope everyone goes away with the basic history of the site as well,” said an ORNC spokesperson. The tours will take place on April 26-29 to coincide with the Sundance Festival at the O2, which will include film screenings, discussions, live music and an interview with Sundance founder Robert Redford.

A puff of smoke A taste of the Middle East has come to Greenwich with a new shisha lounge opened at the North Pole. The shishas, also known as “hubble bubble” pipes, are in the heated outdoor area of the pub where food and drinks, including teas, coffees and cocktails, are also served. Use of the pipes is £12 each and there are 10 flavours of tobacco, including apple, strawberry, mint and cola. The North Pole, at 131 Greenwich High Road, also has a piano restaurant and a club hosting DJs from Wednesdays to Saturdays.
