Where does art start, and science finish? Base Metal - the latest exhibition at Simon Oldfield Contemporary Art - seeks to explore exactly that question, and several others besides.

The idea is to look at the apparatus and aesthetics of science's many incarnations - there's work by Sam Knowles who takes gold leaf to old scientific books; Nick Bailey is showing his weird contraptions; and there's also drawings and assorted work by Spoonfed favourite Ryan Leigh, who we were seriously impressed by at New Sensations last year.

Oh, yeah, this sounds completely brilliant. Jane Webb curates an exploration of London's secret underground tunnels, its weird bits of little known history, its dark corners, and secret crannies.

Taking place in the run-down creepiness of the basement under Shoreditch Town Hall, over 50 artists have recreated a world of bunkers, crypts, disused stations and sundry other cobwebbed crevices.

It's summertime! Kind of. Which means the British public are looking a little less than glamorous. Wardrobe panic sweeps the nation as a few precious hot days cause the unenthusiastic to reach for those ever so lovely garish shorts, not forgetting the tiny vest that looked oh so good five years ago.

But hold on, there are some of us that revel in the summer, having collected enough nautical themed wear to be able to go out in full sailing regalia, though carefully distributing the white, navy and red so you don't go out looking like you've lost your boat.
