What's on in London this weekend?

Sport will be the dish of the day in the capital this weekend, with England taking on Wales at Twickenham and Arsenal travelling to Stamford Bridge.

The England rugby union team is going through something of a transition at the moment, with new talent emerging and trying to fill the boots of legends such as Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio.

This weekend's clash with Wales, one of the strongest teams in world rugby, is a chance for those players to step up to the plate and prove they are fit to wear the famous white shirt.

Roared on by a feverish Twickenham crowd, this promises to be an amazing occasion for all.

For those who prefer football, Stamford Bridge is the place to be, with the two finest teams in London going head to head in the race for the Premier League title.

Clashes between Arsenal and Chelsea are always passionate affairs and this fixture will be no different, with some of the world's best players strutting their stuff in pursuit of glory.

This being London, there is a lot more to enjoy than just sport.

At the Soho Theatre, Bette Bourne and Mark Ravenhill will deliver A Life in Three Acts, an award-winning show promising honesty, humour and anger.

Ms Bourne will tell the playwright about his own life, moving from a post-war childhood to the Gay Liberation Front, life in a drag commune and his life's work.

Also taking place this weekend is the Maslenitsa festival, a celebration of Russian folk music, culture and more, with a spectacular programme of dance and theatre performances lighting up Potters Field Park.

Those who want to spend a couple of hours out of the hustle and bustle can make their way to the Chelsea Physic Garden and stroll through winding paths lined with snowdrops and other beautiful plants and flowers.

As always, there are plenty of options for visitors to choose from which will thrill and excite in equal measure.

However, there is only one place to stay for those who enjoy the very best that life has to offer.

The luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace is the perfect choice for couples and families, who can enjoy 3 Nights for the Price of 2 to make their weekend break even more special.
