London film premiere of A Christmas Carol is set to be huge

October 31, 2009

The film premiere of Disney’s A Christmas Carol is set to be a huge affair. Unlike a normal premiere this one is being run in partnership with the Mayor of London and as far as I know nothing like this has been done before. The idea behind the partnership is to welcome Christmas to London [...]

Norman Parkinson at Somerset house – A missed opportunity

October 30, 2009

This isn’t really a proper exhibition, it’s far too small, which is why it’s at Somerset House rather than say the National Portrait Gallery. A missed opportunity I’d say because Norman Parkinson was one of the major photographers of the twentieth century.
I can only think it’s down to money that they haven’t done a proper [...]

What's on in London this week – The Science museum Late could get you a date

October 26, 2009

The Lates at the Science museum are always popular and I’m sure the one this week will be packed. Have a theme of Sex and Science and you know your event’s going to be full.
But from what I understand this won’t be some X-rated show. The event’s more about having fun with activities such as [...]

Best value comedy night in London

October 25, 2009

You can’t go wrong with the Laughing Horse comedy night at the Coach & Horses pub in Soho. Held most Tuesdays it’s one of the best value comedy nights in London, tickets only cost £5. You get a good selection of experienced and up and coming comedians all in a nice relaxed setting.
One of the [...]
