What's hot in London this weekend
The end of the working week is nigh and, as usual, there is plenty going on in the capital for people to enjoy, including Chelsea against Everton.
Carlo Ancelotti's side sit at the summit of the Premier League table, serving up free-flowing football which has had the crowds at Stamford Bridge begging for more.
This Sunday they take on a struggling Everton side desperately short of confidence, meaning the likes of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard should have some success.
Another highlight of the capital's cultural calendar this weekend is the Southbank Centre's Classics for Christmas celebration, where a wonderful selection of festive songs will be sung loud and proud long into the night.
Mum, dad and the kids can sing along to old favourites such as the First Nowell, O Come All Ye Faithful and the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Those enjoying a weekend away with toddlers and smaller children should remember to pack their little one's dancing shoes for an afternoon of hip shaking at Baby Loves Disco.
Taking place at the Southbank Centre on Saturday afternoon, kids from across the city will hit the dancefloor, along with brave parents, and dance the day away, with lots of competitions to enjoy.
Couples on a romantic jaunt away will want to make their way to Sadler's Wells to catch Matthew Bourne's modern re-interpretation of the classic Swan Lake.
With an all-male cast, this multi award-winning production will thrill audiences with its innovative and exciting style.
Those who prefer a more light-hearted evening's entertainment should make their way to the Soho Theatre and take in the Scamp Theatre adaptation of Stick Man.
From the book by Julia Dickinson, this touching and funny show is a must for families, who will be taken on an adventure which sees the stick played with a dog and used as part of a nest by a swan.
This is just a snippet of what is happening in the capital this weekend.
While there is lots for families to see and do, there is only one place they should lay their heads at the end of the day and that is the luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace.
With the 3 Nights for the Price of 2 package, guests can arrive on the Friday evening and leave on Monday morning, with Sunday night's stay absolutely free.
