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

Hello Londoners,

It’s always tempting to stay wrapped up inside in Jan but the days are certainly getting lighter and hopefully warmer ☀️ 

There are some great events still happening this month.

Chinese New Year celebrations are just around the corner and the world famous Van Goph exhibition is still open for viewing ending in Jan.

Let’s dive in

London Shower Thoughts

Timothée Chalamet e-biking to his UK premiere proves that even Hollywood stars can't resist London's cycle-to-work scheme.

What's Interesting?

One Undershaft, nicknamed "The Trellis," is set to become one of London's tallest buildings at 73 stories (306.6 meters).

Given the Shard stands at 309.6 metres, “The Trellis” will only be a whisker shorter.

Slated for completion by 2030, it will house offices, retail space, and a public viewing gallery (green forest-inspired) offering breathtaking views of the city.

A Moment In Time?

In 1974, the illuminated advertisements on Piccadilly Circus were a major draw.

Coca-Cola, Guinness, and Bovril were some brands prominently featured on the famous neon signs.

The vibrant advertisements made Piccadilly Circus a key visual representation of London's modernity.
