October is here and so is the new #CulturedKids #50 linkie with a new monthly format but same great partner in crime Megan at TrulyMadlyKids!
What have we been up to lately? Indulging into London Open House week-end as you know this has been a long time favourite of ours. This year we were delighted to be the Vip guests of Taj London for the Jaguar suite, followed by the splendid British Foreign Office and Westminster city Hall and the Mayor’s Reception Room – Paddingtonโs hood is sleek and has gorgeous views over Buckingham – we remembered the joyous days of maypole dancing with 2007 former Westminster Mayor!
On Sunday we embraced the car free day and made most of our hood, with Slovakia Embassy and Leighton House being our usual favourites.
We also just wrapped up Japan week in London, if you need inspiration for best sushi places with kids head here and for our Kensington favourite Japanese restaurants in here.ย Frieze October 2nd -6th is also on every art lover radar, again we are so spoilt !
The first ever Chelsea history festival is also coming next week to town (October 9th -13th) and itโs packed with talks, workshops, music and family fun. We are so looking forward celebrating our favourite hood and its mix of paradoxes, history of royalty and anarchy, conservative and yet bohemian, so rich with locals but so international. Strongly rooted in Chelsea’s heritage creative, the festival proposes on Saturday October 12th Chelsea physic Garden Open Day; NAM hosting giant games for little soldiers, marching drills and meetings with living historians and Royal Hospital Chelsea Hidden History Hunts and British Army Jazz Orchestra.
