by Stickyboard
16th May 2012
Showing the Imperial War Museum to a newcomer to London recently, I was reminded of how little attention most of us pay to the heritage of wartime London all around us.With the richness of the 21st century city on offer and our ever-busy lives, it’s easy to understand why. Yet the spirit and the shape of this great city are so inseparable from its times at war, and there are so many opportunities

They may be the only seats left in the restaurant when you try to call up for a last minute reservation, but I think counter top seats are the best in the house.

by Stickyboard
4th April 2012
That big blue (sometimes dank) streak of water which runs through London: where the boats float by, modern high rise apartments fill the banks, and tourists climb on top of one another to get the best photo of Big Ben! Yes, we all 'know' the Thames. But do the majority of people know what lies beyond East of Tower Bridge and West of Vauxhall Bridge?

“You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.”
No, not spaghetti westerns: London historian Hugh Meller used the phrase ‘the magnificent seven’ for the first time in 1981 to refer to the group of large Victorian cemeteries established between 1832 and 1841 to deal with the problem of overflowing graveyards in inner London.

We Londoners easily loose touch with nature (my interaction with nature is nowadays limited to the disease-ridden basil plant in my kitchen – or an occasional dog poo on foot incident). That’s why I have found taking a dip in mossy water amongst semi-naked Londoners and other equally obscure forms of wildlife so…restorative.

2. Night at the Museum... without Stiller
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
So you think you’ve been to the Science Museum? Not like this you haven’t. Keen to get more young adults into science, the museum, alongside others in London, has been throwing their doors open after hours for special Lates events.
Open access, exclusive demonstrations and yes, “refreshments”, combine to make one of the most educational and fun nights you’ll have out in town this year. To get
10. An experimental Sunday @ Brixton Market
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
For those of you who sing the praises of Borough Market but are hankering after something new, I can not recommend Brixton Indoor Market and the Brixton Electric Avenue Street Market enough. If you are a lover of food, or just enjoy a potter and a nibble, both of these will appeal! Ideal for a lazy late Sunday morning: you can peruse the delights of the markets and then settle down for a spot of

7. London’s Heart; A touching memorial
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
London is a reflection of the people who live in it. Our lust can be found in the narrow alleys of Soho, our need for knowledge is reflected in London’s libraries and bookshops. Our gluttony and our multi-culturalism can be seen in restaurants providing food from all over the globe. Our capacity for violence can be found in the need for police stations and our neglect for those less fortunate
6. Zoo Lates; See the animals in a whole new way!
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
Going to the zoo doesn't just have to be for toddlers and hassled parents trying to keep tabs on their over excited children, there is in fact a whole animal kingdom out there waiting for the rest of us; Zoo Lates at London Zoo.
As the last of the lunch boxes and school coaches roll out of the gates, the green picnic spaces make way for pop up bars, food stands (from Ostrich burgers to Spanish
5. A date with a view!
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
On a glorious summer evening I went for a cocktail at Searcy's at The Gherkin - a Private Members Bar with one of the best views in London.
On the 48th floor, the bar has a 360 degree view of all of London and it is simply breath taking! I was with a date but rather than try and impress each other with sophisticated chat, our excited giddiness took over and we started playing i-spy, capering
4. London in Bloom; Columbia Road Flower Market
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
Every Londoner should visit this fantastic market in Shoreditch. It's one of the few excellent London markets open on Sunday and worth a visit any time of the year. This unassuming road is filled with market stalls of flowers and plants, barrow boys, food stalls and craft shops.
The prices are incredible. Last time I was there I got an mini orange tree with fruit on it for £3. I know a few
3. London's Prestige: A night @ the Magic Circle
by Stickyboard

So you’ve taken in a couple of shows, checked out the latest exhibits, but have you visited the premier magical society in the fascinating world of mystery and illusion?
Well...neither had I. That was until I went the Magic Circle’s headquarters for one of their public show. Forget Darren Brown, forget David Blaine, this promises to be an evening full of magic, comedy, ventriloquism and a guy
1. Ice Skating with Ravens
by Stickyboard
14th February 2012
It's that time of year - Winter arrives, sites all over London put up ice rinks in their back gardens, and Londoners suddenly become convinced that they too can glide gracefully around on thin slithers of metal whilst retaining perfect balance and poise...
But with so many venues now sporting rinks, the real difficulty can be deciding where to go. This year I had heard that the Ice Rink at the
