Planned meetups include: The V&A Museum,  William Morris Gallery,  Geffrye Museum, Kelmcott House and The Red House.

This detailed knowledge prompted the duo to set up the Fox&Squirrel blog through which …

Our book club events are a bit different and are aimed at people who don’t have time to desperately read the whole book the night befo …

I am a registered Blue Badge Tour Guide and believe that the best way to 'get' London is in small groups of no more than 20.

A few ideas: Picnic in Regent's Park followed by outdoor Shakespeare production Dim Sum on the Southbank followed by a show A curry night on …
