I’ve lived in Barnes long enough to know that when this village decides to do something cultural, it doesn’t mess about. We’ve got the Children’s Literature Festival, the Wetland Centre, more charity shops than you can shake a walking stick at – and now, a brand-new theatre festival that’s popping up around Barnes Pond like a very well-dressed…
After a four-year hiatus, the wonderfully uniqueLive at Chelseaconcert series is making a grand return. And let me tell you, mums, there is simply no other open-air music venue like it in London.
FromWednesday 10th to Sunday 14th June, the magnificent, Sir Christopher Wren-designed grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea will be transformed into the capital’s most beautiful…
Once a year, I do something that makes my inner teenager do a little happy dance. I surprise my best friend from childhood,Donatella, who now lives in Rome, because apparently some people need sun and pasta to survive – with gig tickets. She books her flight and together we relive the music that soundtracked our awkward teenage years, our first crushes, and our terrible…

A portal into a world where you briefly convince yourself that you’re the long-lost Lady of the Manor, that the turrets were built for you, and that the secret underground tunnel was definitely designed for your exclusive use. That happened to me last weekend.
I was invited to De Vere Horsley Estate in…
I’ve lived in London long enough to know that you can walk past the same street a hundred times without ever turning down it. But this week, I finally did turn. And what I found stopped me in my tracks.
Just a stone’s throw from the chaos of Waterloo Station – with its rushing commuters, tourist herds, and that perpetual smell of hot dogs and diesel – I stumbled into a tiny knot of…
Everybody loves pizza. That’s just a fact. And when most people think of pizza, they think of the classic Neapolitan version: soft, puffy, leopard-spotted crust with a slightly charred, chewy edge.

At London Mums Magazine, we set out to find answers. We asked supplement brands to send us their best brain-boost products – focusing on Lion’s Mane…
Dark spots are essentially a memory of past skin trauma. When the skin overcompensates, it leaves behind hyperpigmentation. This often looks like a stubborn blemish mark that won’t budge or those larger patches of melasma brought on by pregnancy.

Autism was first formally described in the 1940s, while ADHD has been studied for decades as well. What has changed is how much we now understand about how these conditions affect daily life.
