London Mums Magazine was invited to Wisley Christmas Glow Walk atRHS Garden Wisley (located at Wisley Lane, Woking, Surrey, GU23 6QB).Wisley was a glorious spectacle of ever changing lights on their Christmas 2022 Glow Walk.
We arrived and managed to park very easily in the huge car park, its only a short walk from there to the main entrance where staff were very helpful in directing…
Mayerling at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and in a cinema near you.
Ballet as you’ve never seen it before, with classically trained dancers properly acting out the story thanks to modern choreography by the great Kenneth Macmillan. Out with the cardboard cut-outs, out with the repetitive Russian symmetry, out with the synchronised swim in tutus.
Ryoichi Hirano and Sarah Lamb in…

Good by C.P. Taylor is at the Harold Pinter Theatre until 24 December 2022. A deceptively simple title. It’s the journey of one lecturer from being pretty decent to becoming a holocaust supporter. His personal rationale, torn between disbelief and herd instinct, is an exploration of how Germany allowed it, collectively.
We’ve all looked at end-stage Alzheimer’s sufferers and thought, ‘We…
La Boheme at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and in a cinema near you.
God not opera you’re thinking… All mountainous women and no action. Well, not any more, it isn’t. Rather, it’s young singers, who act properly, in edgy sets with humour thrown in.
Boheme (1893-5) has a touch of the Dickens, in that it is a gritty social commentary, mocking all strata of society…
The David Walliams’ brand is always going to deliver precisely what you expect, in greater or lesser degrees, and this production of Demon Dentist written by David Walliams and adapted by Neal Foster edges towards one of the better deliveries. Overall, the casting is particularly inspired in this production. Zain Abrahams, who plays newsagent Raj, deserves particular mention for his warm and…
Sung by The 1885 Singers, based in All Saints, Putney.
This Mass is Romcom-meets-God !! Possibly about as irreverent as the film ‘Life of Brian’ which retold the life of Jesus as a musical. Rossini wrote his last great work for friends, and said himself he wasn’t sure if it was sacred or sacrilegious. The Pope banned the orchestral version with female voices.
And you can understand…
My Neightbour Totoro is at the Barbicanuntil 21 January 2023.
Totoro is a kind of Japanese Winnie-the-Pooh and has become a legend both in Japan and around the world. The film by Miyazaki dates from the 80s, but is set in 50s Japan, in the countryside. This first ever staging of the film is a triumph. I even dressed up as a Totoro, accompanied by my Japanese husband, Tadashi, and…

When your child becomes a teenager, be prepared as a parent to get a few NOs when you suggest going out with mum and dad. I have been looking at attractions in London that might be appealing to teens and Madame Tussauds received a warm welcome from London Mums’ teen reporters Alice and Diego (both 16). I gather from their joint review of Madame Tussauds that they had a blast:
Teens’…
