When a press release lands describing a show as a “climate change romantic comedy musical” and the venue is mercifully air-conditioned during the week London decided to melt into a puddle, you go. You go immediately. Last night I hauled my sticky, overheated self to The Other Palace in Victoria, slid into a cool velvet seat and watched two people on a stage do more for the environmental…
When an invitation lands promising a press view of the biggest Frida Kahlo exhibition ever staged in this country, you do not simply put on a sensible blouse and turn up. I turn up with a Frida dress, naturally (I did it also for the Mondrian exhibition). Mine came from the magical hands of Italian fashion brand Antica Sartoria, all embroidered flowers and full skirts with Frida’s image on it…
Forget the 90,000 pink cowboy hats and feather boas flooding into Wembley Stadium. While Harry Styles was whipping a generation of youngsters into a frenzy next door, supported by none other than Shania Twain, can you actually believe that? We, the rock rebels, the mums who still know every power chord from our mis-spent youth, were filing into the OVO Arena for a masterclass in unadulterated rock…
When an invitation lands promising an evening of tacos, frozen margaritas and a DJ spinning until late, all in honour of David Beckham’s favourite Miami taco joint landing in London, you cancel your Thursday night plans and you dig out your stretchiest waistband.

Coyo Taco has taken over a sleek spot…
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…
I am a self?confessed superfan. But this isn’t just another interview for me. It is my third time chatting with the one and only Karen Hauer, the Venezuelan whirlwind who became the heart and soul of Strictly Come Dancing for an incredible 14 years. From the very first time we met, I have been completely under her spell. I have followed her every paso doble, jive, and show dance, religiously…

London Mums, clear your diaries for Sunday 5 July. American Express presents BST Hyde Park has just dropped the full line-up for Duran Duran’s headline show, and it is an absolute belter. Just imagine yourself, a picnic blanket, a mildly overpriced prosecco, and a parade of musical legends under the summer sky. The kids can run wild on the grass while you pretend you are still cool enough to…

In 28 years of living in London and dragging myself to countless theatre shows, I had never seen War Horse. I read the book by Michael Morpurgo its my son Diego when he was at primary school. We did not love it. I watched the film. I was not a fan. So when the National Theatre invited me to the opening night of its return to the Olivier stage, I went with mild curiosity rather than burning…
