To celebrate London Mums’ 10th anniversary we are going to have a few special editorial issues covering mums’ music icons from the Eighties. After London Mums’ interviews with the Spandau Ballet, Paul Young and Midge Ure, we are now looking at the Summer programme at BST Hyde Park 2017 which has become synonymous with the London Summer as Wimbledon, featuring Phil Collins among…
Iconic Scottish singer songwriter Midge Ure might not ring a bell but his music certainly does especially if you have grown up in the late 70’s and 80’s like me. He is most known as the lead singer of synthpop band Ultravox (his songs Vienna, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes are super famous and are probably some of the best tracks of the 80’s – check the videos below) and as the…

The man behind this magic is Duncan Titmarsh, the UK’s only LEGO Certified Professional, who has been creating impressive LEGO installations for years.
I have met him a few times over the years and he…
Forget about Black Friday deals… They are often not authentic. London Mums magazine has a dedicated site with 60% off deals on theatre and London attractions throughout the year. This year for Christmas I will ask Santa to bring me vouchers or tickets to either a West End Show or to a nice London Attraction.
We all have houses packed with stuff we don’t need and I feel that we…
Scuba diving in London? Seriously? I love the sea and snorkelling. Time flies while watching colourful fishes passing by. I have travelled to Egypt, Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic a few times to do it but I never really tried SCUBA diving because I fear my reaction in front of big fishes like sharks. I am right about it as last Summer at an Amazon party I tried the ‘diving with…
A couple of days ago I visited the exhibition STAR WARS Identities: The Exhibition which is now open at the O2 and explores the complex notion of identity through the characters of Star Wars with an exclusive collection of 200 props, models, costumes and artwork from the Star Wars films. As a huge Star Wars fan myself, I felt transported into the world of my galactic heroes during an interactive…
Today toymaker Lego has opened its world’s biggest stores in Leicester Square spanning 914 sq m over two floors.

A new scale model of the iconic Big Ben (over 200,000 bricks and 6.53m high) and…
