Love London
I love London – I moved here for university when I was 18 and now I live here with my husband in a home full of books, art supplies, board games and plants. I love the energy and diversity of the city – from it’s beautiful star attraction buildings to the quiet corners only the locals know. I also love the possibilities London offers. Here you can find life drawing classes with animal models, origami lessons, calligraphy workshops and every other sort of creative class you can imagine. There are exciting events from light festivals brightening the winter streets to rainbow Pride parades, ice rinks by beautiful historic buildings to incredible blooms at the Chelsea flower show. There are shiny skyscrapers offering a birds eye view of the city and quiet paths along the river, there are cafes selling hundreds of types of cereal and elegant places for afternoon tea, there are fantastic photography exhibitions, art galleries and museums. There are also some special wedding venues from yurts and garden centres to botanical gardens and glasshouses. See what I’ve been exploring and share your suggestions.

Love London – Inktober 2016 – Learning to draw
