Today in London: Monday 26 August 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 19 August 2013
Oh holy dog, there’s only a howlin, tail-waggin Paw Pageant going on in Old Spitalfields Market today, a chance to watch prize pooches and dapper dawgs will sport canine fashions in the name of Battersea Dogs & Cats home. Awooooo.
And so, with the doggy talk (almost) over, can we all paws and take in the following TW-chosen cultural options, which aren’t to be sniffed at…

TODAY’S DANCE CHOICES
Strictly Summer Ballroom, The Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall, 26 Oct
