What a month it has been in London, with the unexpected passing of The Queen. Many events were cancelled, which means this month there is a plethora of things to see and do. Great art exhibitions to inspire.. Theatre is seriously hot right now and October is the month for a trick and a treat!

This month in London there is an abundance of art opening up. I have picked out 7 must see exhibitions along with a few extra’s to catch before they close this month. In addition, I’m definitely curious to see Frameless London, the new multi sensory exhibition opening 7 March. The Golden Key takes over the city on 15 October – a good one for little ones.

V&A Re:Imagining Musicals exhibition opens 15 October. If you are a member, there are some fantastic talks to tie in with the exhibition.

Clean and Tidy Home 8-9 October. I’m curious I really am… This wouldn’t normally be something I’d be interested in, yet since lockdown I want every bit of help sorting things out so I can live in a clean and tidy home. Mrs Hinch here I come!

A new dark comedy  ‘1797: The Mariner’s Revenge’ opens at The Old Royal Naval College. Included in your ticket is a complimentary rum cocktail at the ‘Skuttlebutt Bar’ and a chance to explore the Admiral’s House. A good one for Halloween.
