    Here are the best virtual tours of London’s museums and galleries

    April 30, 2020 / No Comments

    “Culture gives comfort in times of turmoil, it unites us and makes us understand what it means to be human.” Hartwig Fischer, Director of the British Museum. It turns out that Fischer wasn’t alone in his thinking. According to ITV, the British Museum has seen a massive spike in online visitors since closing its doors. In fact, the site saw an incredible 978,548 users in the first two and a half weeks of March. Amazingly, this is double the amount of traffic than it had in March 2019.  But what’s caused this sharp peak in interest? Virtual tours.  That’s right. In 2020, being on lockdown doesn’t mean you have to…

    Keeping London contemporary – celebrating 20 years of the Tate Modern

    April 23, 2020 / No Comments

    The Tate Modern has closed its doors for the foreseeable future. But like the cyclical nature of art itself, it will be back. Until that time, we thought it was only fitting to mark the Tate Modern’s 20th birthday with a look back at its fascinating history.  Welcoming 5 million visitors every year, Tate modern has become the world’s most popular museum of modern and contemporary art. It’s a venue for art on an industrial scale, in a city that can’t get enough of the concept. But it wasn’t always this way. Britain’s changing attitudes towards modern art Before Tate Modern opened its doors in 2000, the Tate Gallery was…

    Support your favourite London businesses during COVID-19

    April 20, 2020 / No Comments

    London’s rent is one of the most expensive in the world.  And long before COVID-19 triggered shut down, many restaurants and bars were straining to survive in the capital. In fact, more than 1,400 restaurant businesses and at least 500 pubs permanently closed in 2019. According to the accountancy group UHY Hacker Young, this was 10% more than the year before. Undoubtedly, every industry is feeling the effects of lockdown but, arguably, hospitality has been hit the hardest. Research from the Office of National Statistics shows that eight in 10 workers in the UK food services sector have been furloughed. And if this scheme ends in July (as it’s currently…

    7 Time-Honoured Wimbledon Traditions

    July 1, 2018 / No Comments

    Boasting 141 years of history, Wimbledon remains the longest running and most prestigious tennis tournament of all time, showcasing the sport’s most celebrated and rising talent from around the globe (check out these trailblazers!). From the days of lop-sided wooden lawn-tennis rackets and hand-stitched balls, to innovative hawk-eye technology and a retractable Centre Court roof, the tournament has certainly advanced since 1877. However, some of the time-honoured traditions have been passed on through the years. As the Championships bounce back into action, we’ve taken a look at some of the longest standing traditions to have survived the test of time.
