Black Horse Latitude The lyrics from the St Etienne track refer to Bob & Pete's local pub. Photo of the Black Horse, at 37 Wedmore St across from Whittington Park in London, just before it closed in 2008 to be turned into residences. Pete & Bob just lived down the block on Tytherton Road in the 90s.

Sovietistan by Erika Fatland. Updated paperback of Norwegian writer’s travels through Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan a decade ago. Avoiding post-Soviet cliches, Fatland talks to as many people as she can in Central Asian countries with uncertain futures #BooksBluesky

The Library or Great Room, Kenwood House, Hampstead. Robert Adam remodelled Kenwood in the 1760s, creating the room 1767-69. English Heritage say: “The library in particular, with its neoclassical form, decorative frieze and ceiling paintings by Antonio Zucchi, is one of Adam’s greatest interiors.”

The fabulous Lost Gardens of London exhibition at the Garden Museum in Southwark, next to Lambeth Palace, ends tomorrow. Highly recommended if you have the chance, and a reminder of ephemeral our precious green spaces are, and we we should fight to protect those that have survived #GardenMuseum

Shown by @tpfilmclub.bsky.social in tribute to David Lynch, The Straight Story (1999) is in some ways an outlier in Lynch’s films, but full of charm and his trademark strangeness. A lawnmower road trip through the Midwest, it’s above all about the kindness of strangers #DavidLynch

The Silk Roads exhibition @thebritishmuseum.bsky.social until February 23. The plural as there were many different trading routes linking Asia, Africa and Europe. From Tang Dynasty China to Sutton Hoo, everything is connected. It’ll be busy, you need a few hours, but definitely worth it #SilkRoads

"Meat paste: the taste that torments!" is not the selling point these ad execs thought it was. This was obviously green lit the wrong side of a Watneys Red Barrel lunch.

From the British Museum Silk Roads exhibition, until 23 February: “This is the earliest known group of chess pieces in the world. Probably originating in India as an aristocratic game, chess spread along Silk Roads routes. These pieces are made of ivory. Excavated in Samarkand, Uzbekistan AD 700s.”

This is not just a great piece of music writing by Richard Williams (who I don’t think has migrated from X to BlueSky) but also manages, in a few words, to summarise our historical moment more eloquently than almost anything I’ve recently read.

Last performance of Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell is tonight at the Coach & Horses pub in Greek Street, Soho. Robert Bathurst is amusingly louche as the always thirsty journalist trapped overnight in his favourite pub. Staging the Keith Waterhouse play in the pub where it’s set is inspired #JeffreyPlay

A work from Tate Modern’s Anthony McCall - Solid Light, on to April 27. McCall showed his film and light works in old New York lofts in the early 1970s. When he took them to a Swedish gallery you couldn’t see them as there was no dust or smoke. Decades later he resumed making them #AnthonyMcCall
