Because it’s officially summer and we’re in the middle of a heatwave, our first episode of What’s happening at John Lewis? is a summer shopping bonanza.

First up, we’re trying to be chill while assembling the most complex LEGO set we’ve ever encountered. Putting together a 878-piece Bonsai tree may enlighten you, or it may stir up different feelings altogether. You have been warned…

Then, it’s off to our Oxford Street store to meet architect, presenter and all-round nice guy George Clarke to talk flexible living and, most importantly, why he’s obsessed with John Lewis pillows. 

Next up, the JL pool party begins as we road test the ultimate inflatable swan suitable for home or abroad (no pool necessary). Plus, get ready to discover the £39 Sony waterproof speaker that will upgrade any outdoor gathering. 

Don’t forget, there’s much more in our stores and online than you realised…
