London events today and this week

Every event we have checked and put in, soonest first. Tonight and this weekend have their own editions.

Friday

23 October
  1. Free

    Street art on Brick Lane

    10:00 Brick Lane, Shoreditch

    The walls change every few weeks, so the walk is different from the one anybody photographed last year. Start at the Truman Brewery and work north up the side streets.

  2. Food and drink From £12

    Darts at Flight Club, Shoreditch

    17:00 Flight Club, Shoreditch

    Darts with the scoring done for you and a camera on the board, booked by the oche rather than the person. Cheaper before six and on a weekday, and it does run late.

  3. Food and drink From £10

    Ping pong at Bounce, Old Street

    17:00 Bounce, Shoreditch

    Tables by the hour in a basement that used to be a ping pong hall, which is a rare thing to be able to say. Loud after nine and quiet before seven.

  4. Food and drink From £11

    Bowling at All Star Lanes, Brick Lane

    16:00 All Star Lanes, Shoreditch

    Four lanes in a basement done out as an American diner, which sounds worse than it is. Booked by the lane for up to eight, and the kitchen runs as late as the bowling.

  5. Food and drink From £30

    Bottomless brunch in Shoreditch

    12:00 Shoreditch, Shoreditch

    Cheaper than Soho and longer sittings, mostly around Redchurch Street and the Boundary. Sundays run into the evening here in a way they do not further west.

  6. Comedy From £9.60

    City Comedy Club: Friday night, 8pm

    20:00 to 21:30 City Comedy Club, Shoreditch

    A drink is included in the ticket, alcoholic or not. Seating is allocated, so you are shown to a seat rather than fighting for one. Doors half an hour before, over 18s, ID checked.

  7. Comedy From £9.60

    City Comedy Club: the late show, 10pm

    22:00 to 23:30 City Comedy Club, Shoreditch

    The late one. An hour straight through with no break, which is the format that suits a room this size after ten at night. Doors half an hour before, over 18s, ID checked.

Saturday

    City Comedy Club: Saturday brunch show, 4pm
