Events And Tours - Latest news and reviews

A document that is so rare and fragile that it can only be seen for a few weeks each year has gone on display in the British Museum.

Wrapping around a tall tower in the Barbican is a large glass conservatory, which often surprises people to learn is, after Kew Gardens, the second largest in London.

For just three days, a "museum" to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Heinz firm will be in London.

Dotted around the City of London are a number of very grand buildings, and while normally private, some are open to the public if you book a tour.

The weather forecast is good, so what could be a better way to spend a Tuesday evening than sipping a cup of Pimms while watching a military battle that destroys a cricket ground?

For one day in June, a zip wire will be fixed to the roof of a Canary Wharf skyscraper, and a handful of people will be able to whiz down the wire to the ground.

There will be a 2-day history festival taking place over the second weekend of December. And, umm, that's about all I can tell you about it.

A huge shed packed full of old tube trains, buses, trams, and floors of railway ephemera, this is the Acton depot used by the London Transport Museum to store everything that wont fit into the museum.

Look to the skies, for the red, white and blue of the Red Arrows will be gracing the skies of east London on Saturday (21st July 2018).

Next Saturday marks (possibly) the very last time that the current Woolwich Ferry will pass through Tower Bridge.

A huge flypast will take place over central London on Tuesday 10th July to mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force, and the flight details have now been released.

If you get up early on a Sunday morning in June, then you might see the glorious sight of up to 50 hot air balloons drifting gently over Central London, as part of the Lord Mayor of London’s balloon regatta.

This weekend there's a chance to get very close and personal with a number of military aircraft, right in the heart of the City of London.

Upwards of 100 military aircraft are due to join a huge flypast over central London this coming July.

It's time to start plotting how we shall remember the downfall of a papist plot, and watch the skies over London explode with fireworks.
