LIONESSES. CHAMPIONS. HISTORY MAKERS

Congratulations to the Women’s England team who defended their Women’s Euros title with tenacity, clinching victory over Spain in a heart‑stopping penalty shoot‑out.
They’ve not only lifted a second European trophy - they’ve lifted a generation.

These are more than footballers. They are change makers, history shapers, and role models redefining what power looks like on and off the pitch.

THE PURPOSE OF LIGHT 🌟

Discover the powerful debut solo exhibition from Oscar-nominated photographer and filmmaker , now showing at Fitzrovia’s

Featuring over 110 photographs taken between 2019 and 2025, this landmark free-to-attend show captures the raw humanity of protest, resistance and belonging - from the Black Lives Matter marches in London to vigils for Grenfell and cries for justice across Sudan, Congo and Gaza.

Through his lens, Misan Harriman spotlights the voices too often left in the shadows - stories of civil rights, q***r and trans visibility, climate activism and global solidarity. His camera doesn’t just document history - it holds it still.

“The exhibition shows that we, the people, care about marginalised communities,” Harriman told The Glossary. “We may not be able to change the mistakes of our past, but we are willing to forge our presence - to be kinder and gentler, in order for our future to be what our children deserve.”

📍 On until 18 September

Hayley Atwell on her West End return and why London always has her heart

Hayley Atwell is as spellbinding on stage as she is on screen, as recent reviews of her performance in ’s wildly fun, modern spin of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing - which recently opened in the West End - can testify. In our exclusive interview, the Olivier Award-nominated actor talked to about playing Beatrice opposite ’s Benedick (friends for 20 years, they’ve never shared a stage or screen). Plus, we get a glimpse into why working with another Tom, this time Cruise, on the next Mission:Impossible film, out in May, was like ‘breathing rarefied air.” Hayley also reminisces about her free-spirited childhood in Notting Hill, the enduring allure of London and why in 20 years she’ll be “hosting fabulous dinner parties, wearing asymmetrical, bizarre creations and being very eccentric”.
