    Townhouse trend

    You can quite imagine Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan sharing illicit martinis at the Wellesley, an elegant Art Deco townhouse hotel that recently opened in London's Knightsbridge. It's further proof that Londoners adore a townhouse, with Dean Street and Zetter Townhouses and Bethnal Green's Town Hall Hotel all much-loved venues. And no wonder – their elegant terraced façades open onto quirky, history-rich interiors that provide a cosy respite from frenetic city streets. thewellesley.co.uk

    Family affair

    One of China's most respected artists, Zhang Xiaogang, paints a poignant history of the Cultural Revolution, in which his own memories and shared cultural remembrances fuse in images that are both nostalgic and sinister. The show, at Pace Beijing, China, precedes major solo shows in New York and London later this year. Until February 28; pacegallery.com
