My Generation Exhibition Launches at 3 Carnaby Street – Thursday 8 to Wednesday 21 March – Free

Talkin’ ’bout my generation. Something seriously exciting is swinging its way in an exclusive exhibition in celebration of the forthcoming film, ”My Generation”, which is presented and produced by the legendary Michael Caine. The two week, free-entry exhibition will see a stunning showcase of photographs, prints and archive footage from the 1960s over the two-floor space.  See incredible photos of the iconic contributors from the film including Twiggy, Roger Daltrey and The Who, Marianne Faithfull, Vidall Sassoon, Jean Shrimpton, Lulu, Paul McCartney and The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Sandie Shaw and Mary Quant, to name just a few. Well-renowned curator, Zelda Cheatle, has worked closely with photographers integral to the 60s’ cultural revolution including Terry O’Neill and Brian Duffy to showcase their work in this one-off exhibition. Don’t miss the infamous portrait of Christine Keeler, taken by Lewis Morley, mass crowd photographs highlighting the peak of Beatlemania as well as the first professional photo taken of Twiggy. Step into this immersive experience and go back in time to this revolutionary period.

“My Generation”, a documentary film told through the eyes of the British film icon Michael Caine, takes you on his vivid and inspiring journey through 1960s London. “My Generation” will be in cinemas on Wednesday 14 March for a one night special (Orpington and Beckenham Odeons are screening it).

 

Women’s Eights Head of the River Race on Saturday 10 March (start approx 9:45am) and Head of the River Race (Mens) on Sunday 11 March (start approx 10:45am).

The races see hundreds of national and international crews of eight rowers take to the waters to compete in this historic event. Rowed over the 4.25 mile (6.8km) Thames Championship Course, the race begins at Mortlake and ends at Putney taking around two hours from the time the first crew sets off to the time the last crew crosses the finish line. Crews start one after the other, at 10-second intervals. The winner is the crew, which completes the race in the fastest time. See the crews off from Chiswick Bridge, cheer them on from Barnes Bridge as they gather pace, or watch them approach from the Hammersmith Bridge. You can also try to find a good spot on the river banks or a seat in a cosy pub along the course. Take a look at the map of the racecourse.
