👀The London Doozy - London's Best Events This Week

Wednesday 26th Feb- Tuesday Mar 4th

Hello Londoners,

Who is ready to put the cold winter behind us? I certainly am, spring brings the change of seasons and with it, a change of events.

This week it’s worth checking out the free UEL After Dark Festival which includes circus acts. Alternatively, if you feel like a Brazillian carnival head over to Sushi Samba.

That’s not to mention there are a ton of great art exhibitions on too from Theaster Gates at Whitecube Bermondsey to The Face magazine Exhibition.

London Shower Thoughts

With St Pancras planning new direct trains to Italy and Switzerland, I wonder if the station will start offering complimentary language lessons with every ticket purchase.

What's Interesting?

Beneath the gleaming glass and steel of Bloomberg's European headquarters in London lies a captivating secret: the London Mithraeum, an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the mysterious god Mithras.

Rediscovered in 1954 during post-war excavations, the temple has been meticulously restored and now offers visitors a unique glimpse into Roman London's spiritual life
