Things to do in London with kids on the River Thames

I love spending a day on the River Thames with my family. It is good fun and also the best way to see London and learn about its amazing history. This half term you can take the kids on City Cruises big boats with a heated lower deck with panoramic windows and a café-bar serving hot drinks; and an upper deck open to the air so that you can get a great view of world-famous sights like Big Ben…

Calling all London Mums - Save Brompton Cemetery Suffragette's resting place

The release of the film Suffragette is a fantastic step in bringing the women’s rights movements further into mainstream discussion, but the action should not stop in the cinema. The Royal Parks Foundation, the charity set-up to support the Royal Parks, is calling on the public to help save Brompton Cemetery, as it is falling into disrepair.  It’s not just a place of remembrance and…

Games of chance can brighten up those autumn evenings

The last week or so has brought with it that first chill in the air, and you know that it won’t be long before the nights start to draw in. Pretty soon, you’ll have barely finished the afternoon school run and it’ll be dark outside.

West End Show review: KINKY BOOTS

If you are familiar with West End shows in London, you would agree that the performance standards are very high like in New York. When I heard that Broadway hit show Kinky Boots was going to open in London in 2015, I was very excited but at the same time I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. Sometimes going to see a musical without expectations is better. I truly enjoyed KINKY BOOTS…
