From a hot new restaurant to try, to wholesome days out and new music, here's five fun things to do in London this week, January 30 to February 5. 

1 Go for dinner at Jacuzzi, Kensington

The newest restaurant from the Big Mamma Group - the crew who conjured up the maximalist feats Ave Mario, Gloria and Circolo Popolare - is going to be just as over the top as its sister venues, and probably even more so. Set over four floors and dressed up to look like an Italian mansion, the restaurant comes with a disco loo and even more pastas served in cheese wheels.  

Address: 94 Kensington High Street W8 4SH

2 Visit Kew Garden's Orchid Festival

Dates: Saturday, February 4 - Sunday, March 5

Tickets: Entry is included with a ticket to Kew Gardens, from £16.50/£5.50

Address: Richmond TW9 3AE

3 Make vegan pasta at an Eataly Plant-Based Cooking Class

Learning from expert chefs, participants on Eataly's first ever vegan pasta-making class will learn how to nail ravioli alla zucca - pumpkin filled nuggets of pasta - and tagliatelle ai fungi, aglio e prezzemolo - a bright and herbaceous dish loaded up with mushrooms, garlic and parsley. Finish the session off by eating your creations, with a glass of Italian wine in hand.
