There are some exhibitions you look forward to visiting once. And then there are exhibitions you already know you will want to see again and again. I have a feeling Monet: Painting Time, coming to Tate Modern from 25 February to 27 June 2027, will be firmly in the second category.
As a Tate Member and a bit of an artist myself, I was absolutely delighted to be invited to the…
London never seems to run out of unusual things to do. Just when you think you have experienced every possible type of concert, theatre show or immersive event, the buzzing city comes up with something completely different.This week, I discovered In The Dark, a unique musical experience at St Bartholomew’s Church near Barbican, and I absolutely loved it.

If you love classic rock ’n’ roll, here’s one for your London theatre list: Million Dollar Quartet has arrived at The Arts at Marble Arch, and after getting a sneak peek at today’s preview, I can already tell you one thing, this is a show worth booking.

If you want to know the fastest route to lots of fun, I can tell you exactly where it is: on a dance floor where nobody can hear the music but you.
Silent disco is my happy place. I know that’s a big claim, but honestly, I mean it. There’s something magical about putting on those glowing headphones and just… letting go. I’ve danced my way through a fair few unusual spots…
There are wines you taste thoughtfully, swirl around the glass, discuss at length and perhaps even write tasting notes about. And then there are wines that mysteriously disappear from your glass while you are busy chatting to your girlfriends.Lala V Rosé belongs firmly in the second category.
Lala V Rosé brings a little Provençal joie de vivre to a glamorous evening at Hackstons in…
As a London Mums Magazine reporter who is constantly out and about discovering what London has to offer, I have to admit something slightly embarrassing: 15 August 2026 was my first time at Crystal Palace Bowl. And now I’m wondering why on earth I waited so long!After this experience, I am already regretting all the concerts I didn’t book there. Easily accessible from London by train or bus, I…
London Mums’ daddy reporter Rupert H, girl dad x2 (including brand-new Aurora, who sat this one out), sent us this fun review.Â
At home: a beautiful but entirely sleep-averse newborn named Aurora, a mountain of muslins, and a partner who deserves a medal. So when the chance came to take my older daughter Gaia and her best friend to Chessington’s brand-new World of PAW Patrol, I grabbed…

Space Explorers: The International Space Station Experience has finally made its European debut in Camden, and after months of hearing about its global success I could not wait to take my family along. It is, quite simply, the most immersive virtual reality adventure I have ever tried. From the moment I pulled on the lightweight headset, the basement venue dissolved and I was no longer standing on…
