1. See spring flowers blooming around the capital
Spring in London is always a knockout. We might live in a sprawling capital city, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t tons of amazing green spaces to enjoy the season’s pops of colour. From London’s bright pink cherry blossoms to seas of daffodils, take a look at our list of the best places to see flowers in London
2. Celebrate the matriarchs in your life on Mother’s Day in London
Mums deserve high praise all year round, but Mothering Sunday is the ultimate excuse to treat your darling ma and any other matriarchs in your life to a lovely time. Here’s our guide to help you get organised and plan a proper celebration of mumsy on Sunday March 10, whether you want to take her for a cheeky Mumtini, treat her to a relaxing trip to one of London’s exquisite spas, or send her a stunning bunch of flowers.
3. Explore Ancient Egypt at ‘Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition’
Promising ‘cutting-edge technology with rich historical narratives’, this Ancient Egypt-themed show is the latest experience to arrive at the ImmerseLDN, the ExCeL’s sprawling, 26,909 sq ft space for staging all things ‘immersive’. Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition has apparently been viewed by 1.8 million visitors on a global tour, and arrives in London for 14 weeks this spring. Using splashy technology and 8-metre-tall projections, the exhibit will be divided into six galleries, each bringing the maximum amount of razzle dazzle to bear on the time of the Pharaohs. You’ll be able to experience such thrills as an immersive movie about the discovery of the tomb, a VR experience taking you ‘into the Egyptian afterlife’ and an AR walk through the Valley of Kings. Gimmicky it might sound, but it’s been endorsed by both the History Channel and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, so we’d imagine it will at the very least nail the historical accuracy. Got a kid that’s going through an Ancient Egypt phase? They’ll probably love it.
4. See the prettiest looking cats around at the London Catstravaganza
Ever looked at Crufts and thought, ‘this would be so much better with cats’? Well, taking place over two days, Catstravaganza is a celebration of fluffy and fabulous pussycats, with prizes given for the prettiest cats and kittens, as well as a razzle-dazzle ‘best in show’ presentation on the Copperbox Arena catwalk, and the chance to look at (and maybe stroke) some seriously stunning mogs.
5. Pick up some bargain pieces for your boring walls at The Other Art Fair
Your landlord might disagree, but there really is no excuse for boring white walls. Pick up original work from local artists to brighten up your bedroom for as little as £100 at this accessible alternative to (the many) stuffier and more expensive fairs on the London art circuit. Over 150 independent artists will be exhibiting work at the annual event presented by Saatchi Art, and there’ll also be immersive installations, performances, DJs, a fully stocked bar to entertain you. Think of it as art served with a side of party.
