West End LIVE!

West End LIVE!

Fancy trying out top London shows before you pay to go and see them at the Theatre? At West End LIVE! you can, where hit shows are bought to an open air stage.

This annual festival, now in its 9th year, organised by Westminster City Council and the Society of London Theatre, in association with MasterCard took place at the end of June in the iconic setting of Trafalgar Square.

Zoo Lates!

Zoo Lates!

Been to the zoo, seen the animals and think you have experienced all it has to offer? Think again…it’s time to see its really wild side!

Every Friday night throughout June and July ZSL London Zoo open their gates after hours for Zoo Lates. So, on a sunny Friday night last month I joined hundreds of other party animals to experience a night, at the ultimate urban jungle, for myself.

Don your tiger onesie or have your face-painted as your favourite zoo creature and find out what the animals get up to after everyone should have gone home.

Zookeeper Day!

Recently I got to fulfil a childhood dream and become a zookeeper for the day thanks to ZSL London Zoo.

I excitedly joined just two others for what was to be a real hands-on experience and a unique insight into what life is like for the keepers.

Several sculptures have been erected for the third year in the heart of the City of London as part of Sculpture in the City 2013.

I went to the 27th floor of Tower 42 to look down on the area, before being taken on a tour of the sculptures by Sonia Solicari, head of Guildhall Art Gallery.

Many packages are on offer across London this summer to celebrate the impending arrival of the eagerly anticipated royal baby, so I decided to try one out.

I went to the athenaeum, this luxury five star hotel which sits within sight of Buckingham Palace is offering an exclusive royal photography and afternoon tea experience.
