What are the must-have toys for 2018? It’s always hard to predict what kids will love in the future, but this overview of the latest trends I observed at the latest Toy Fair London can give parents a hint of what may turn into the next craze this Spring and Summer.
Mythical creatures
Mythical creatures are here to stay and this year they are bigger than ever including unicorns in all shapes…
Pacific Rim: Uprising is an over the top Sci-fi fantasy with brilliant special effects and great performers. Think Transformers meets The Avengers to have an idea of what to expect. Overall it is a big nonsensical but the robots piloted by amazingly looking humans versus monster fights are very cool. It is the perfect action movie for dads and teenagers. It is out this weekend in time for the…
Zombies is a music and dance-filled movie coming soon to Disney Channel! To celebrate the release of the action packed DCOM, London Mums chat to the film’s stars about the eye-popping choreography, acrobatic cheer moves and the pop and hip-hop soundtrack to their joyous new film. In typical Disney-style the songs are catchy and will stick in your memory and the storyline encourages teenagers to…
Four London Mums have the chance to win signed copies of all three books in the award-winning trilogy The Territory by Sarah Govett – including the nail-biting finale Truth which is out on 29 March 2018 for their teenagers. It’s trendy and they will love you for these exclusive gifts signed by the writer.
The story starts in the year 2059. Unchecked global warming means half of Britain…
It is always very interesting for me to talk to filmmakers and movie stars who can offer insights into films I love. I was honoured to be at a bloggers’ roundtable to chat with Oscar-nominated female director Ava DuVernay (known for the film Selma) and 14 years old star child Storm Reid, who at her early age has already worked on big film including 12 Years of Slave. They not only came across…
Dear London Mums,
This year’s Spring issue (number 23 already) includes stories that focus, one way or another, on the most meaningful things in life. How we approach ourselves to diversity in our society, how we teach our children to face the difficulties life throws at us with mindfulness, how we carve our space in the world without fear of not conforming to stereotypes are some of the…
One of our London Mums members and readers can get her hands on award winning products worth over £235 included in the amazing Product of the Year 2018 Goody Bag that has been kindly donated by the lovely people behind the Product of the Year Awards.
The annual Product of the Year awards are upon us once again – voted for by UK consumers just like you and the Product of the Year seal of…
As parents we know that time flies and that the clock is ticking before children grow up into teenagers and don’t want to be with us any longer especially on holiday. So before it’s too late – before they are 15 (although this might be already the limit) – we have to make the most of every minute with them and do fun things together. Holidays create memories which last a lifetime…
Paddington 2 DVD is out now for all the super fans of the London Peruvian bear and all fans of London movies. Paddington 2 is effectively a sequel but it’s so good that it is actually better than the original Paddington film. I mentioned in my review that Paddington 2 is the best family comedy of 2017 and my series of interviews with the cast and talents only proves the point that some of…
On the evening of Thursday 15 March 2018 from 7 to 9pm, Putney High School GDST will open the doors of its Performing Arts Centre to welcome Andrew Graham-Dixon, leading art historian, critic and well-known presenter of arts television, in the next of their PIE (Putney Ideas Exchange) and lecture series.
