Dancing on Ice champion and figure skating star headlines this Christmas’s most magical family show.
This Christmas, forget the same old panto – there’s a new sprinkle of magic in town. Peter Pan on Ice is gliding into the Bath Forum and Theatre Severn Shrewsbury, and it’s promising to whisk audiences from the cosy Darlings nursery straight into the wild, untamed wonder…
I came to this gig as a casual fan. I left as a convert. LP (Laura Pergolizzi) played a sold-out show at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire last night as part of their All Is Not Lost Tour, supporting their latest album Room 12. The venue had been moved from the O2 Academy Brixton at the last minute, but original tickets remained valid and the grandeur and tight acoustics of the…
Watching The Pianist at Park Theatre was an emotional and thought-provoking experience that stayed with us beyond the end of the performance. What stood out most was the way the production explored the relationship between music, memory, and survival. Rather than simply telling a story, it invited the audience to imagine what it feels like to face fear and uncertainty while trying to hold on to…
I have seen Duran Duran four times now. Twice this year alone. And Saturday night at The O2? That was, without question, the best I have ever seen them.It’s Halloween. I’m with my friend Laura. We’re dressed up (obviously). And we’re about to spend the evening singing and dancing to the soundtrack of our lives with a few thousand other people who have also made a proper…
I have a particular soft spot for Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde. It has been my favourite book of all time ever since my father gave me a copy when I was a teenager. So when I discovered there was a new adaptation playing in Barnes, I knew I had to see it. And what better day to go than 31 October? What a way to start my Halloween celebrations.Four incredibly talented women brought Robert Louis…
If there’s no big old oak at the end of your garden, you can still give the children a treehouse. A treehouse playset stands on its own frame on the lawn, so what you need is a flat patch of grass and a tape measure. London Mums has already covered building a treehouse into a strong tree with hardwood. Most of us have something else: the long, narrow London garden with a fence on both sides…
There are two kinds of Halloween family events. The first involves queuing in the cold, a slightly sad pumpkin, and a plastic cup of squash. The second involves unlimited pancakes, a face-painting station, and a witch so good that twenty children sat utterly spellbound while their parents quietly admired a guitar once owned by a rock legend.
I’m pleased to report that Hard Rock Cafe…
Dear London Mums, put down the half-term permission slips and listen, because I’m about to let you in on something I’ve been quietly guarding for a while. There’s a night out in Soho that I’ve now been to three times. And every single time, I’ve come home sweaty with a smile that takes a good 48 hours to wear off. It’s called The Secret Sax Party, and…
Tme to talk Christmas. Yes, I know it’s October. No, I’m not sorry. Because tickets for one of the sparkliest family outings of the season have just gone on sale, and this one’s worth getting in early for.

After my last piece on Rock London where I dragged you through the capital’s musical landmarks and probably made you crave a leather jacket, I thought I’d swap the guitar picks for library cards. Now it’s time to show you literary London, London for literature lovers, my very own guide of locations made famous in novels.
So grab your Oyster card, a paperback, and a sense of…
