America’s NBA basketball is returning to London for the fourth year running. The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at The O2 on 4 October.

The LA Lakers are the reigning NBA champions and one of the most recognisable teams, with major stars such as Kobe Bryant. This will be the team’s first international trip since 1991.

The Timberwolves are making their second appearance in London. They played Boston Celtics here in 2007.

London has hosted three sell-out games as part of the NBA Europe Live. Get your tickets now on 0844 856 0202 or www.theo2.co.uk.

Last week was all about London vs New York: if you read the comments, you’ll find London certainly came out on top!

This morning we woke up to autumn in London. Coats, scarves, macs and umbrellas were all in force on the journey into work.

But autumn in London means more than the occasional early-morning downpour. On the sporting calendar we can look forward to world-class rugby league, a visit from both the NBA and the NFL, and world gymnastics and world tennis championships.

With the weather turning colder, you’ve also got an excuse to check out London’s cosy museums and art galleries: autumn brings the Turner Prize to the Tate, Maharaja to the V&A, and Suburbia to the London Transport Museum.

You can also indulge in the Wine Show, the London Restaurant Festival and the RHS Autumn Harvest Show, bringing the countryside to London’s Horticultural Halls.

So, the weather might be a bit murky today, but there’s a lot to look forward to this season!

Let us know what your recommendations are for autumn in London.
