Sabrina Carpenter brings a different vibe to BST and we're all for it
As the sun sets over another summer's day in London, it's not just the high temperature (and Central Line) keeping Londoners warm, it's Sabrina Carpenter at her absolute best for the British Summertime festival. The pop princess fills Hyde Park with mostly women: mums with daughters, best friends in their thirties dressed in matching baby pink dresses and tweenagers, who were rehearsing the songs' viral TikTok dances before her grand entrance. Dressed in a red sparkly playsuit, she sings the first notes of Busy Woman – a very apt song title for the 26-year-old who seems to have been touring since time began (Short 'n' Sweet tour began in September 2024 and ends later this year, but BST marks her final UK dates). Sabrina has got the audience in the palm of her hands as she says her cheeky lyrics, 'If you don't want me, I'll just deem you gay' before winking at the camera, which is projected onto the giant screens on either side of the stage. It's high camp and delivered perfectly into her bejewelled microphone, setting the tone for the evening. It's where the party begins, and it doesn't end for the next 90 minutes, with Sabrina's high energy mimicked by her enthusiastic fans. She knows what she's doing when she follows the opener up with crowd pleasers, Taste and Complicated, before slowing things down for Slim Pickins. Her breathy, silky tones are particularly captivating in the low-tempo song, drawing us in with every word. I've been a regular at BST for quite a few years, but I've never seen anybody make the headline spot into such a production. The theatrics, costumes, and special effects were of the same quality that you would expect in a stadium tour date. The kitsch 1950s-style adverts between songs are a particular highlight, with Sabrina taking on the role of salesperson for made-up products. The biggest scream of the night was for a Manchild cleaning spray, which promises to alleviate the lives of boys who don't grow up. Although Sabrina can't actually perform miracles in that department, she provides free therapy by letting the audience scream out 'Won't you let an innocent woman be? Never heard of self-care. Half your brain just ain't there,' with her. The enthusiasm for her latest song shows that Sabrina's star power is only rising, so it's looking good for the Manchild album, which is coming out next month. Between the hits, Sabrina takes time to converse with the audience and provide the elements that those chronically online were undoubtedly expecting. A key segment of her tour is arresting someone for being too hot. It's often a celebrity, but tonight, she decided to give a young woman from South London, who perhaps appreciated the honour more. Busy Woman Taste Good Graces Slim Pickins Manchild Coincidence Sharpest Tool Because I Liked a boy It's Raining Men (Cover song) Nonsense Couldn't Make it Any Harder Feather Bed Chem Juno Please Please Please Don't Smile Espresso She also used her trademark humour to poke fun at British weather with her own rendition of It's Raining Men. Seeing Sabrina do a The Weather Girls cover was not on my 2025 bingo card, but I'm glad it happened. More Trending The all-singing, all-dancing and tambourine-playing (yes, she gets a tambourine out) show comes in the face of criticism for her raunchy cover art for Manchild. But it's quite clear her target audience is right behind her, and salutes her cheeky boundary-pushing art. She hasn't let the haters change her persona, and so, of course, a love heart-shaped bed comes out for Bed Chemistry. For the eighth year, 150,000 festival goers will descend on Glasgow Green from 11-13 July to see the liked of 50 Cent, Gracie Abrams and Biffy Clyro, and you could be there!

And of course, there was only ever going to be one way to round off the evening – with a shot of Espresso. We may prefer our tea in Britain, but you wouldn't have guessed it as thousands screamed the caffiene hit. Same time tomorrow? Sabrina Carpenter performs at BST Hyde Park again tonight.

The abandoned London Underground platforms stuck in the 90s
While many Londoners act like they know all there is to know about the Tube, you might be surprised by one small detail. Among the many stations and platforms along the Tube, there are a handful that have become abandoned and are stuck in time. Including platforms at Charing Cross that have been closed to the public since 1999. The abandoned Tube platforms at Charing Cross Although Charing Cross Tube station is very much still active, there are some platforms within the station that have long been shut down. In 1979, Charing Cross joined the Jubilee line and saw the use of two platforms, a concourse and passenger tunnels. However, in 1999, the Jubilee line in Charing Cross was closed to the public after plans were created to extend the line to Lewisham. Charing Cross was never intended to be the final stop for the Jubilee line, with plans in the 1980s to regenerate the Docklands and East End area seeing a reroute of the line. The plans would see a reroute of the line from Green Park towards the south of the river to Waterloo, London Bridge, before moving back to Greenwich and Stratford. The change meant that Charing Cross's Jubilee platforms were no longer needed and were shut down. Despite being closed off, the platforms gained a new lease of life and have since become a filming location for major blockbusters. The platforms have featured in the likes of 28 Weeks Later, the James Bond movie Skyfall and the TV show Spooks. Recommended Reading Although the platforms are shut off to the public for daily use, you can still visit Charing Cross's Jubilee platforms through a Hidden London tour with the London Transport Museum. The Charing Cross: Behind the Silver Screen lets guests see behind the scenes of one of the busiest Tube stations in London. Allowing you to walk beneath Trafalgar Square and explore the closed-off Jubilee line platforms, passenger corridors, and concourses.

The Adventure Bike Rider show: ‘Glastonbury for bikers'
The biggest draw was perhaps YouTuber Noraly Schoenmaker - better known as Itchy Boots - fresh from filming her exploits (as she took a break in her journey across Iran) to investigate London on, of course, two wheels, encountering helpful policeman and welcoming Londoners. Warm, funny, modest and courageous, she set the main stage alight with her recollections.... triggering long queues in the burning sun as show-goers awaited their chance to buy signed copies of her new book, Free Ride. Sadly, the book queue closed just as I arrived, giving me a great excuse to book tickets for 2026 in the hope that she appears there, too, the next festival's dates having been revealed as June 26 - 28, 2026.
