As a Gunner, how can I give this anything else other than 5 stars! Nah, this is a great museum and one I recommend to Arsenal fans and football fans alike. read more

Small lovely museum, funded mainly by donations with lovely staff. Educational and mind opening…read moreexperience. I hope the museum gets the opportunity to expand and have more exhibits. When we came they had an exhibit about menopause. I think more people need to learn about the vagina in general and as a whole and understand what it is like to have one and all the burdens that come along with it and without it in the end.

You can wear them on your ears with a knitted sweet or on a chain around your neck made of an plastic type material, they had bold showing every size, shape and colour. You can also get t-shirts. The staff stayed behind the desk but they were friendly and greeted everyone that entered. I realised like myself most people seemed to be coming in out of curiosity and don't make any purchases but b they staff took that in stride and continued greeting everyone with the same courteous smile. Kudos to this company for celebrating woman so boldly
Donations welcome and yes I donated!

I was here for one of the Christmas fairs in late November, and I have to say, considering they…read morecharge you 5 pounds just for going in, it was quite disppointing. The vendors seemed to specialize only in vintage-looking accessories and baby items, and the food was too scarce to mention. The only potent memory I have is the mulled wine; and that's only because it was quite potent. The house itself is nice, though. It has a very old-fashioned look and feel, and considering all the different events it holds throughout the year, it does hold promise for a memorable experience. If you do go to one of the Christmas fairs, wait until mid-December as there are usually more vendors the later in the month it gets. Do be forewarned: While the gifts you can find here are all handmade and unique, they're also quite limited in their style and only appeal to certain tastes.
Sutton House is a small piece of English heritage in the heart of Homerton. Walking into a building…read moreso antiquated and ornate meant that it would be rude not to ask how long the building had been around for. It's the oldest building in East London was the response I got from one of the staff working in the souvenir shop. No one was able to tell me exactly when it was built, but the tudor beams and furniture was a dead giveaway; having a peek on their site later on in the day also confirmed the period in which this beautiful artwork of a location was made. For anyone who's been to Homerton and noticed that it's awash in ramshackle converted warehouses, convenience stores, scaffolding and old factories, you'll notice how much Sutton House stands out, with its moss covered walls, and creeping vines and serene, distinctly 'stately home' appearance. One thing I couldn't quite get over is how small people must have been in Tudor times. The tables are low, as are the ceilings and the passageways were in some places unforgivingly narrow. If you've eaten a lot post-Christmas, you might want to consider a few sessions at the gym before investigating the place. I'm not sure what you'd do if you were a 7ft basketball player. They have a brilliant programme of events here: I went to a series of talks about Black history writer S.I. Martin (they have a great Black History Month programme here in October), but even for non-history buffs they have plenty to offer, including monthly family days, Halloween ghost tours, Christmas carol concerts and guided tours. It's used by local community groups, which means you can hire it too. Standard Admission: £2.80, child 70p, family £6.30. Groups £2.40

I'm just here to talk about the venue. ...And what a venue it is. Okay I can see all the die-hards coming back. Yes it's the most amazing stadium ever and etc. They have fire and smoke and guitars and bass during the intros. So obviously. And apparently that happens when they score (not that I would know since it's an ever-elusive occurrence during my visits). It's just me, because I had to get used to an event that's more like a 2-act musical with Intermission. Good luck using the toilet in that 15 minutes, especially if you're trying to grab a drink and a bite while you're out there. I thought "surely I'm in the women's line" but no, we're all out here in line because nobody could live with themselves if they missed the only score of the night while in the loo. Enough of that. The staff are "helpful" as they help you not sit in the wrong seat. This is good because so many people think they're the only smart ones trying to sit down close in *not their seat. This is Britain, people, have some decorum and queue for your proper seat. The match was spectacular. I love nill-zed events. The pitch was immaculate. Don't you think of putting one toe on that perfect turf. The hometown boys were raucous. There can't be too much singing. The away fans were spunky. They also love not seeing their team score. But a fun time will be had by all. Secret tip: leave 2 mins before stoppage time and beat the maddening crowds back to the tube for a happy night back home. Or stay out till all hours celebrating. One day you'll win it all (maybe even this year).

We easily booked on line a couple months in advance of our trip to Stonehenge, Bath and a Secret Place. I had a few questions, which were answered quickly through email. Instructions and itinerary were provided after we bought we tickets. Additional and helpful information was sent a few day prior to our trip. Noelh, our tour guide, was knowledgable, interesting and fun from the moment he picked us up in London. He provided information beyond the tour stops. He was engaging and had a good understanding of the geology of Stonehenge as well as the historical background. He made well time stops for breaks. We spent about two hours at Stonehenge, two hours at Bath and an hour at the Secret Place. The Secret Place was worth the extra and I highly recommend. Noelh offered a brief and interesting walking tour at each site and left us time to explore on our own. We were allowed to bring snacks on the bus but we didn't need them because we stopped plenty at places for food and drink. Noelh provided water. Bring water and rain gear. There were UBC ports for phone charging on the bus. The bus was very comfortable. Noelh was sensitive to a woman that was having mobility issues and arranged for her to skip part of the walking tour. I enjoyed Stonehenge and the Secret Place immensely, I was glad I saw Bath, but it was too crowded during our visit. Others on the tour really loved Bath. I highly recommend The English Bus tours.

But, the highlight of this location is upstairs. Head up and there's a mini museum of a variety of bands that included, of course, their Doc Martens and other memorabilia.

Definitely a recommended stop if you're a soccer fan and you're in London.
When in London England stop by your favorite football club. This is another long overdue review…read more About a year ago we went on the Arsenal Stadium tour and it did not disappoint! The tour gave us pretty much all access to areas that on a normal day a fan would not be able to see! It takes you on an audio guided tour through the entire stadium pointing out facts about the stadium and history of the team. It was nice to walk around at your own pace and not feel pressured to keep moving. It was even nicer to be able to see the suites, player's locker room, and most of all be down by the pitch and sit in one of the players seats, but almost more important all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. At the end of the tour it puts you in the Arsenal team store which was very big and had almost any Arsenal item that you may want. So, if you are a Gunners fan and want to have a cool experience to get closer to your team go on the Arsenal Stadium tour.

However, after a brief search on Google I was dismayed at the price of these tours - approximately £40. As we were staying close to Camden (for the music of course!) I tried another search and soon found the Rock n Roll Camden Walking Tour. I couldn't believe it was only £10! We met Alison outside the Electric Ballroom which is very easy to find. Alison is warm and vivacious with a vast knowledge of Camden and its music scene. We were brought to many pubs and venues and Alison had something fascinating to say about each one. If you're not a fan of walking not to worry, Camden isn't that big and there are plenty of stops! My sister's into punk and ska and I'm an indie rock girl but both our tastes were accommodated as bands and musicians from all genres have lived and played in Camden. The tour is a great insight into the music history of Camden and I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in alternative music. A really fun hour and a half!
Abhorrent experience with Jealous Gallery in the lead up to their release of David Shrigley's 'Live…read moreEach Day As If It Were Your First'. In advance of the print release, which was being released at the Original Print Fair, Jealous' website, social media channels and newsletter clearly stated; "We are advising all customer to arrive at 4pm and not earlier, since we are trying to avoid any queuing before hand at all cost." I arrived at the venue at 3:00 pm to look around the fair before the 4:00pm release. When I arrived at Somerset House, I was told by staff that there was a queue for the release of 'Live Each Day As If It Were Your First' and that there were already in excess of 125 people in the queue, some of which had been at the venue since 8:00 am. Thus, they were not trying to avoid queuing "at all costs" but instead, organising a queue for those who disregarded their instructions, all of whom where rewarded with a copy of the print. Jealous' communication with their customers is way below par and their ability to coordinate a print release is chaotic. In addition, I spoke with people in the line who'd been queuing for hours in boiling hot sun, with no shade and no offer of a refreshment. They were each issued a wristband but they were not numbered and when it came to purchasing the prints, people lost their position. This behaviour only reflects how other services within the gallery operate and I would truly avoid doing business with this gallery.

I like her pointy little teeth and I laughed and laughed. I really like this gallery. They advertise it as affordable art and I hope it will one day be affordable for me to shop here. Jealous sells limited edition prints from emerging and established artists. The prices range from 250-599 officially but I heard one being advertised for 200 pounds, a picture of a crying monkey. The art here is mostly pop art and is controversial in a delightful way like putting the queen in a gas mask to explain terrorism. You will enjoy looking around here or having a chat with the staff. If you can afford anything other than bare essentials, by industry standards this art is affordable. Cool as well.
