January

Happy New Year to you all!!

Just in case the January blues have arrived and as Blue Monday is looming, I thought a colourful array of ideas would help you to lift the mood and plan your next trip to the capital.

Twist

London's Home of Illusions, the Twist Museum is an immersive experience that explores – and puts to the test – the power of your mind in experiencing the world around you.

Developed in collaboration with artists, neuroscientists, and philosophers, get up close and personal with unexpected illusions and discover how your brain interprets reality. There are over 60 exhibits from some of the illusions’ most celebrated names and whole rooms devoted to bringing these illusions to life.

Abba Voyage

ABBA Arena

On the subject of illusions, Abba Voyage blurs the lines between the physical and digital and is built around ABBA's timeless music. Personally, this was one of the best things I saw in 2022 so I’d really encourage you to see the magic of ABBA brought to life using the latest in motion capture technology.

David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)

Lightroom

25th January – 23rd April 

Lightroom is London’s new home for spectacular artist-led shows. Using large-scale projection in this remarkable space, David Hockney takes us on a personal journey through sixty years of his art in a cycle of six themed chapters, including iconic, rarely seen and new pieces.

VAULT Festival

Leake Street Vaults

24th January – 19th March 

A brilliant and diverse program of theatre and comedy shows featuring the best and boldest in theatre, comedy, cabaret, immersive experience and late-night entertainment from leading artists.

Winter Lights

Canary Wharf

18th – 28th January 

The Twelfth Night may have passed and the decorations may be back in the loft, so for those missing the glistening of the fairy lights, the Canary Wharf Winter Lights festival is the largest of its kind in London. Transforming Canary Wharf with over 20 stunning installations, leaving the dark winter evenings aglow. The spectacle showcases light art and interactive installations by some of the most innovative light artists across the globe.

Brick Dinos

Horniman Museum

10thFebruary – 29thOctober 2023 

One for families (or grown kids at heart) you can step back in time with Brick Dinos! Discover the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods like never before and meet dinosaurs and other prehistoric giants face to face, each one masterfully built using LEGO® bricks.

The exhibition also features rarely-seen specimens from the Horniman’s stores and a range of hands-on activities for children to enjoy including building your own dinosaur and digging for fossils. This unsung hero of a museum specializes in anthropology, natural history and musical instruments and has a collection of 350,000 objects.

If all else fails and these don’t capture your imagination then I always find shopping the sales lifts my mood.
