Oooh I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting to go a Secret Cinema event for a long time now but haven’t quite got my act together.. just to fill you in, Secret Cinema is a group of genius individuals who create screenings of popular cult films in the theme of the film itself. The main draw is the mystique surrounding the events - each month a film, which is kept secret until the very last minute, is screened in an undisclosed location.

We were recently asked to take a look at an ebook from London Cyclist called ‘25 London Cycle Routes’, which unsurprisingly is a list of 25 cycling trips in London. The book costs around seven pounds - which is really decent considering you get lots of ideas for trips out on your bike.

And the winner of the best Barbie cakes go to…..
The Cupcake Company on Kensington Church Street opened in September 2009, and is a delight of a shop to add to my ever growing collection of cupcake reviews!

Clearly a baking extravaganza, it is the sight of several ladies icing furiously that welcomes you in when first entering the shop.
They too have caught …

Established in 1919, it’s now the largest adult education centre in Europe, offering day, evening and weekend courses. And luckily for its students, it’s always managed to attract the best teachers: Dame Edith Sitwell, T.S. …
