16th Post - August Overview

Finally, here are my recommendations for August, hope you enjoy them and find them interesting to watch, listen, and eat. In the meantime, August has much to offer especially in London, so head out this month and take in all the best new events, exhibitions and best events in the capital.

Yes, British Summer Time has officially begun, and, despite no guaranteed sun, it's time for Londoners to step outside. Whilst the capital's museums still offer some of the world's best exhibitions (and are perfect respite from the inevitable summer rain), London's offering a whole heap of fantastic outdoor activities to take part in.

Notting Hill Carnival:

Europe’s biggest street festival, Notting Hill Carnival (Sunday August 24 - Monday August 25 2014) is a vivid spectacle representing London's multicultural past and present. Since 1964 the capital's Afro-Caribbean communities have celebrated their culture and traditions with a two-day festival of fantastic live music ranging from reggae to dub to salsa, soca floats, steel bands, uplifting beats, jerk chicken and fried plantain food stalls, and much more. 

London Beach Party - The Roundhouse, Camden

Can't get away this Summer? Let London bring the beach to you. 150 tonnes of sand, deck chairs, ping pong, beach huts and live music will have you feeling like you are on holiday without the sunburn and airport queues.

But, if you feel like relaxing this month by the pool or beach then put your feet up and enjoy Glamour magazine, full of celebrity gossip, style and secrets!! Hope you all enjoy my recommendations and have a great time in August... See you in September, when I'll be sharing Autumn style secrets and places to go and things to do to beat the Autumn blues.
