Damian appears to be on a break from filming Showtime’s hit television series Billions in New York as he has been spotted in London all last week into this week.

We reported yesterday that Damian and Helen attended the Temperley London Fashion show on Sunday.

And today  London Fashion Week continues as the power couple head to Erdem’s fashion show arm-in-arm, despite the drizzly weather as they make their way to the National Portrait Gallery for the catwalk event.

The independent British designer Erdem Moralioglu, a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan Markle, has hired out the National Portrait Gallery to showcase his work .

Helen McCrory and Damian Lewis Attend LSO’s Genesis Suite & Bartok’s Concerto

Damian was in attendance at London Symphony Orchestra’s Music of Exile: Genesis Suite & Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra on Saturday, January 13 at Barbican Centre’s Concert Hall in London, where Helen was one of the narrators. Rarely performed since its 1945 debut, the Genesis Suite was revived by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, accompanied with visual projections conceived by creative director Gerard McBurney.

“It’s a fascinating work because it’s a very political gesture – it’s a Holocaust protest,” says McBurney. “The story focuses on Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel and the Tower of Babel, all of which are a series of broken promises. So, for me, this is a story about the lies that our leaders tell us.”

The piece is a composite suite by seven leading composers of the time, including rivals Arnold Schoenberg and Stravinsky, to bring together the “high art” composers in the US fleeing persecution with the popular culture of Hollywood scores.

Both Helen and Damian are seen pictured here with Maxine Kwok-Adams, violinist of the London Symphony.
