The first steps have been taken to ease lockdown, but we're still going to be spending plenty of time at home over the coming weeks.
Thankfully, London has been busy moving its cultural output online, and millions of us have been tuning in for theatre, comedy and art exhibitions from our sofas.
There’s good news for foodies, too, with more restaurants opening for delivery, and cinemas hopeful of opening soon.
These are our top picks of the things to get up to online today – make sure to check out our main guides for things to keep yourself occupied at home and new hobbies to try out too.
See Gillian Anderson star in A Streetcar Named Desire
Gillian Anderson's award-winning performance in the Young Vic’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire will be available to watch online this week with National Theatre at Home. Anderson won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for best actress for her role as Blanche DuBois in 2014 in the play, which was the fastest-selling show in the theatre’s history. Tennessee Williams’s masterwork will be live-streamed at 7pm, available until May 28.
See a Radiohead gig from the archives
Each week, Radiohead have pledged to upload footage from a classic gig onto their YouTube channel. So far, we’ve had shows in Dublin, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Coachella and beyond — tune in from 10pm to find out which one is next.
Head over to Digital Drag Fest
A celebration of all things drag has been taking place online over the past few weeks thanks to Digital Drag Fest, and the good news for fans is that the virtual event has been extended until May 31. Tune in to see Gloria Swansong’s Dolly Parton tribute show tonight, and check out Frankie Grande’s Livin’ La Vida Grande show on May 23 and Todrick Hall’s Beyonce tribute on May 29, among many others. Buy your tickets now.
Tune in for the Royal Albert Home series
The Royal Albert Hall continues its excellent live-streaming series with more gigs during the week. Tonight indie-pop favourites Scouting For Girls perform live from 8.15pm.
Take part in the Virtual Pub Quiz
Former Lancashire pub landlord Jay Flynn runs the show on this YouTube channel, which has raised more than £93,000 for NHS Charities Together via a JustGiving campaign – after Flynn originally aimed to raise £15,000. He’s now running them every Thursday at 8.15pm (so you’ve got time to get out in the streets and Clap For Carers beforehand at 8pm).
