Read our privacy notice. What a scorcher! A tad frustrating that I always seem to be chained to my desk whenever the weather is like this, and as soon as I try to go on a little British weekend away the heavens open. But this time the heatwave is apparently here to stay. So much to love in this issue.

CultureAnna van Praagh2 minutes agoFor this week’s cover I sat down with a personal hero of mine, Jarvis Cocker. And he didn’t disappoint. For those who weren’t born then, it’s hard to exaggerate what a vibe London was in Pulp’s 1990s heyday. Pulp, Suede, Blur and Oasis stormed the charts and all the front pages, the YBA’s Sensation exhibition changed everything we thought about art and Tony Blair won a landslide election. The world feels like a much more complicated place these days.

MusicOne of the defining figures of 1990s Britain is back with his band Pulp. Older and wiser, he’s still got the elusive magic that made him one of pop’s most electric frontmen, writes Anna van PraaghAnna van Praagh2 minutes agoJarvis Cocker is sitting in The Park restaurant in Queensway in front of a rather beautiful hot dog which he’s worrying about how to eat — “I don’t know how I’m going to eat it now and not disgust you,” he shrugs.

CultureYour ultimate guide to the summer of music (pray for the parks)Anna van Praagh2 minutes agoThis week we’re rounding up the best of the fests — from the bougie ones in your backyard to the earth mother that is Glasto. Turn to page six for our essential survival guide. We also look to summers past as we go back to 1969 with one of my favourite writers, John Banville. He recalls an exquisite summer of endless liquid lunches when London basked under cloudless skies.

CultureAnna van Praagh2 minutes agoI love this week’s shoot with Walton Goggins, by star photographer Sinna Nasseri. I’m such a fan of Walton and he’s as captivating in our interview as he was as Rick, the wild, traumatised and hilarious character he played in The White Lotus. I can relate to a lot of what he says about the world being an incredibly beautiful place and seeing ghosts of your former selves all over the city. (Side note: he also completely stole the show at this week’s Met Gala).
