The legendary Italian gelato shop that has just opened its first UK outpost in London
During summer in London, there's one thing on everyone's mind: how to stay cool. Where air-con fails, there's no better way to ward off the heat than a good old-fashioned ice cream. Lucky for Londoners, a brand new gelateria has just opened up in the capital. Don Nino is a popular ice cream chain in Rome and Florence, and now it's made its way to the UK. The store popped up on Paddington Square in early July, and has been serving proper Italian gelato to the capital since. The café is the brainchild of Francesco Mastroianni, a man so good at making ice cream he's won multiple awards for it and been dubbed 'Gelato Ambassador of the World' by his fans. Clearly, he knows what he's doing. Each of Don Nino's 24 flavours has been carefully crafted by Francesco and his team, covering everything you might want from chocolate to lemon to pistachio. If ice cream isn't your thing, fear not. Francesco is also an expert patisserie chef, so Don Nino is also stocked up with authentic cannoli and pastries. Some are savoury – filled with meat or cheese – and others are sweet treats like brioches and macarons. There's also the eponymous Don Nino bite, a nutty, chocolatey delight. Getting hungry yet? The manager of the London shop, Benito Megna, has expressed his excitement about the opening, saying: 'We're thrilled to introduce Londoners to our authentic Italian gelato and freshly baked pastries and Sicilian cannoli in our first UK store. 'We look forward to sharing la dolce vita with our customers - the best way to enjoy summer in London is with a Don Nino gelato.' Being right outside Paddington station the café is very easy to get to, so you've got no excuse not to go and try some gelato goodness the next time we get a sunny day. Buon appetito! Don Nino 1 Paddington Sq, W2 1DL.

All Together Now: Everything you need to know as Storm Floris set to bring wet end to festival
All Together Now, one of Ireland's biggest music festivals, is taking place this August bank holiday weekend. However, Met Éireann has issued an advisory for Storm Floris on Sunday night and Monday morning, potentially impacting festivalgoers as they prepare to leave the site in Co Waterford. Advertisement Here is everything you need to know about the festival, including the weather. When is All Together Now taking place? The festival is on from Friday, August 1st, to Sunday, August 3rd, at the Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford. Who's performing at All Together Now? Festivalgoers are spoiled for choice at All Together Now, with a whole host of international and Irish acts taking to stages across Curraghmore Estate this weekend. Headliners this year include Fontaines DC, London Grammar, CMAT, Wet Leg, Bob Vylan, and Primal Scream. Michael Kiwanuka was due to play the festival, but his performance has been cancelled on the advice of doctors due to illness. Advertisement On Thursday, Zaska, Marcus O'Laoire and Le Boom will play the Bandstand Arena. Friday will see the Trinity Orchestra take to the main stage at 5pm, followed by Lisa O'Neill at 7pm, Wet Leg at 8.45pm and Fontaines D.C. at 10.30pm. On Saturday, Sing Along Social will kick off the festivities at the main stage at 4pm, followed by Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 at 6.15pm, CMAT at 8.30pm, London Grammar at 10.15pm and BICEP at midnight. Sunday will see Buena Vista All Stars take to the main stage at 4.15pm, followed by BIIRD at 6.30pm, Primal Scream at 8.15pm and Nelly Furtado at 10.15pm. Advertisement Other highlights on Sunday include Villagers, Blindboy, Boola Boom and the Boomtown Rats. Tommy Tiernan, Kevin McGahern, Peter McGann, The Wild Geeze, and Tony Cantwell are just some of the comedians performing over the three days. What else is there to see and do? Like most music festivals, All Together Now's website has a section advertising the various 'experiences' on offer. As well as music scheduled each day festivalgoers will have access to panel discussions, monologues, spoken word, comedy, storytelling, yoga, saunas, hot tubs, live food demos, arcade games, magic shows, circus and craft workshops, sensory play areas for kids, football competitions, music bingo and more. Advertisement At the Greencrafts Village, an 'eco-conscious crafting hub', you can take part in craft-making activities and, most importantly, you get to take what you make home to show off. And what about the weather? The weather will be mixed over the weekend but mostly settled. Friday night will stay dry under broken cloud. Saturday will remain dry with warm spells of sunshine, according to Met Éireann, with highest temperatures of 20 degrees. Advertisement There will also be a good amount of dry weather on Sunday but it will turn more unsettled on Sunday night and Monday morning, with a spell of wet and unseasonably windy weather in store. The UK Met Office has named the weather system Storm Floris. What do we know about Storm Floris? On Friday afternoon, Met Éireann issued a weather advisory ahead of Storm Floris, which it says will bring 'unseasonably impactful weather' from Sunday night into Monday. The forecaster described the storm as a 'deepening low-pressure system' likely to track to the northwest, bringing a spell of 'heavy rain and very strong winds.' The storm is expected to cause: Dangerous travel conditions Fallen trees, debris, and loose objects Structural damage Knock-on impacts for outdoor events Power outages Wave overtopping Localised flooding due to leaves and debris Co Waterford may escape the worst of the storm, though Met Éireann said additional updates would be issued on Saturday. Forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock noted that the full impacts of Storm Floris cannot yet be fully determined. "By Saturday though, the event will be within the range of our high-resolution DINI forecasting model and warnings will be issued," he said. "As this is a public holiday weekend with a large number of outdoor events and with many people going camping, etc, and with an increased usage of temporary structures such as tents, more people will be at a greater risk of exposure than would normally be the case." Mr Doran-Sherlock added that while neap tides will bring the lowest tidal ranges of the cycle on Sunday and Monday, strong onshore winds and high waves may cause wave overtopping in low-lying coastal areas of the northwest and west. "Our advice would be to pay attention to the weather forecasts and warnings issued over the weekend and take them into consideration with any plans you have. And as always, please heed the advice of local authorities," he added.

10 Downing Street is opening to the public for exclusive tours during Open House London 2025
If you ask us, 10 Downing Street is easily the most iconic address in London – sorry, 221B Baker Street – if not the entire planet. The home of British prime ministers since 1735, the Georgian dwelling off Whitehall is where many of the UK's most significant political decisions of the last 300 years have been made, has been visited by countless legendary historical figures over the years, and still serves as a backdrop for key addresses from the Prime Minister. The opportunity to visit this illustrious home is usually reserved for cabinet members, royalty, foreign dignitaries, Larry the Cat and very special invited guests, and most Londoners can't even get a good look at its famous black door thanks to the security gate at the end of the street. It's thoroughly exciting news, then, that a handful of lucky guests will be welcomed inside for a once-in-a-lifetime tour of the building as part of this year's Open House Festival. Prospective visitors can enter a public ballot for a chance to book onto the special tour, one of several in-demand experiences being balloted alongside the 700+ buildings, spaces, and experiences available to book for free as part of Open House's wider programme. The 2025 ballot also features tours of Fitzrovia's Grade II-listed BT Tower, Canada House, the Trafalgar Square home of Canada's High Commission, BBC's Broadcasting House and the new London Museum due to open in Smithfield next year, all of which take place during the festival from 13-21 September. Ballot entries for these incredibly sought-after experiences are open until Monday 18 August, with successful entrants notified on the same day via email. And if you're not successful, don't be too disappointed; there are still plenty of usually-off-limits London landmarks you can snoop around for free during the festival, with general booking going live on Wednesday 20 August. So mark your calendars, check out our roundup of the festival's other highlights, and get those ballot entries in. Best of luck!
