EASTER BUMPER SPECIAL It's finallyyyyyyyy here! To celebrate the double-header long weekend, we've put together a massive Easter bumper special for you. From feasting (Italian, French, English: take your pick) to shopping (records and threads), and of course drinking (in a pop up sakura bar, no less), it's all here. And then there are the parties: what's a double bank holiday without some blow-outs? We've even thrown some art and chocolate into the mix for the cultural and sweet-toothed types among you. Hop to it! This Weekend’s London Picks • FRI Lardo • SAT Blackfoot • SUN Used + Abused • MON Thierry Noir TONIGHT PARTY: SANKEYS EASTER SPECIAL AT STUDIO 338 Start the Easter weekend with a blow out session via Sankeys. The Manchester club (with outposts in Ibiza and New York) will be bringing its electronic, house and techno beats  to London via newly opened super club (the biggest in London) Studio 338. Expect three electro shaking rooms, a 3000-strong capacity and an all-night open-air terrace (holding up to 1500, so yeah it's a big one). Tonight expect big bill techno mavens Stacey Pullen and The Element amongst the usual Sankeys faves of Shlomi Aber, Jozef K and Just Be (to name a few). Third release tickets are selling fast, so be quick. Studio 338, 338 Boord Street, SE10 0PF, £17.50 FRIDAY SHOP: GLASSWORKS SHOREDITCH EAT: LARDO EASTER MENU Glassworks is the latest boutique to hit the Shoreditch triangle (and hurray, it's not in Boxpark). Expect the same curated selection as its Covent Garden branch: labels such as Helmut Lang, Sass and Bide and Senso shoes, sitting alongside a myriad of own brand, sunglasses, jewelry, bags, sunglasses and clothing. Here you'll be able find design–led fashion without the price tag, basically filling the gap without being the Gap, and so far, mission accomplished. Kick off your Easter dining at London Fields restaurant, Lardo where they'll be serving up a special menu in honour of Good Friday. Stick to the theme with fish (salmon, sea trout or sea bass baked in salt), accompanied by Artichokes alla Guida and Torta Pasquale. Otherwise, their cult pizzas (our pick is the lardo with spinach and egg) are also worth a try, washed down with an aperitivo like the signature Stella Spritz (prosecco and grapefruit liqueur). Plus, with Cream Egg Ice Cream on the menu this Saturday and Sunday, a return visit might be on the cards. 11am-7pm Prices vary 190 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6HU 11am-11pm Prices vary 197-205 Richmond Road, E8 3NJ EXCLUSIVE OFFER PACT COFFEE Sponsored listing We've teamed up with our friends at Pact Coffee to offer Urban Junkies readers a 250g bag of their world-class coffee worth £6.95 for just £1 including free P&P.

SATURDAY SHOP: BERWICK STREET RECORD STORE DAY BRUNCH: BLACKFOOT 'The Golden Mile of Vinyl' (aka Berwick Street) is putting on its annual street party this weekend. Expect the usual Record Store Day shenanigans, with live performances from Adam Ant, Edwyn Collins and The Augustines, and vinyl shrines Sister Ray, Reckless Records and Phonica getting in on the action with in-store specials. Limited edition vinyls (including a 7" David Bowie Rock & Roll Suicide and a 10" glow in the dark record of the Ghostbusters theme) will be up for grabs, and when hunger hits, Berwick Street Market regulars Pizza Pilgrims and Jerusalem Artichoke will be on hand with street food. Now for some brunch…with a twist. Exmouth Market's pork-obsessed restaurant Blackfoot has launched a weekend brunch menu, and as you'd expect it goes way beyond a full English. Instead, choose from coddled eggs and sobrasada soldiers, baked clams with shallot and bacon gratin, or avocado on corncake with pico di gallo and a shot of sangria. For those that subscribe to the hair of the dog theory, there are also boozy drinks on offer: think Bloody Marys, Red Snappers and Salty Dogs. Not your style? There's coffee courtesy of Monmouth, too. 12pm-7pm Free Berwick Street, W1 11am-4pm Prices vary 46 Exmouth Market, EC1R 4QE Competition WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO THE INVISIBLE DOT LTD IN THE WEST END  AN UNMISSABLE SEASON OF COMEDY INCLUDING ADAM BUXTON & TIM KEY!

Thierry Noir (the first artist to have painted on the Berlin Wall) is the don of doodles. Having been credited with the destruction of the wall and part of a generation of street artists from Keith Haring to Steve Powers, Thierry Noir is one of the most influential artists of the 21st century. Now, on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the wall, Noir's first solo exhibition displays the archival photographs of his defiant scribbles that symbolise the Cold War, and spurred the street art movement (although we can still blame Banksy for the Saturday walking tours). Take a trip to Japan via Sake no Hana. The St James Street restaurant has transformed its bar into a floral oasis, covering the drinking den with floor to ceiling cherry blossoms to celebrate of the arrival of spring. Try a limited edition cocktail like a Hanami Bellini (sparkling sake, cherry liqueur, lime and gin) or a Sakuratini (maraschino cherry liqueur, sake, vodka, cointreau, cranberry juice, lime and orange bitters). Feeling hungry? Snack on cherry blossom macaroons or go all out with a double-layer bento box (seven spice chicken kuwayaki, salmon avocado sushi and more). 2pm-8pm Free 189 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6HU 12pm-3pm & 6pm-11pm Cocktails from £10 23 St James's Street, SW1A 1HA BOOK NOW CHILLI CHILLI BANG BANG The food festivals continue.
