Choose Your Own Documentary

Hang onto your hats urban adventurers – the penultimate month of 2012 might be getting frostier, but the cultural landscape in London this November will be offering a enjoyable ride into  both new and familiar territories, such as the London Jazz Festival, ice-skating at Somerset House (yup, it’s back!), a gourmet fried chicken joint in Brixton and an interactive live performance at the Southbank Centre that remarkably puts one man’s fate in your hands….

Special Event

Ice-Skating at Somerset House, November 16th-January 6th 2013 – By mid-November you’ll be able to get your skates on and once again glide around the glamorous Somerset House grounds to get you in the mood for the wintery season.  Look out for the  special club nights the luxurious pop-up shop too.

Cinema

Arts & Culture

Choose Your Own Documentary

Choose Your Own Documentary, Southbank Centre, November 6-10th – Inspired by the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ phenomenon of the 1980’s – Nathan Penlington’s Choose Your Own Documentary tells the true story of the discovery of a long-forgotten diary and his attempts to unravel its many mysteries.
