    Did you try any of my recommendations from last month? In November, I went to the preview night for Hyde Park Winter Wonderland which was a lot of fun. I saw the Zippos Circus Candyand show and the Cirque Berserk Thunderbolt show, as well as giggling my way around fun houses and screaming on the EuroCoaster ride. I also stopped for tea with a friend at God’s Own Junkyard as this is the season of lights.

    I always ask this first, but did you try any of my recommendations from last month? I enjoyed Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers at the National Gallery. I was fortunate to see the exhibition before climate activists threw tomato soup over two Sunflowers paintings. It happened on 27 September, just an hour after two others were jailed for a similar protest action in 2022. I’m planning to see Discover Constable & The Hay Wain at the National Gallery this month.

    Did you try any of my recommendations from last month? And did you manage to book Holborn station Hidden London tour tickets? I visited friends in Wales, had some surgery and also now have a teen off to uni this month. So while my London-exploring opportunities were reduced, it was still been a busy summer. I had the joy of returning to London to a new Banksy artwork close to home.

    Did you try any of my recommendations from last month? I went to the V&A and saw both Fragile Beauty and Naomi In Fashion. The Fragile Beauty photography exhibition is glorious. It’s photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection on lots of diverse themes. A visit will leave you feeling happy with the beauty all around you. And then you’ve got the rest of the V&A to explore. Absolutely recommended.

    Every underground station has evolved. There are disused and reused areas that are usually off-limits which is why the London Transport Museum ‘Hidden London’ tours are so fascinating. A third of Holborn station is usually out-of-bounds to you and me but we can now enjoy exploring these areas on a ‘Hidden London’ guided tour. There’s an unexpected view of the Piccadilly line and the two closed platforms of the former Aldwych branch*.
