The Science Museum – Summer Holidays 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop The Science Museum has always been one of those places that feels woven into the fabric of my childhood thanks to my Grandmother who took me when I would stay with her in London, and now into my children’s too. Every visit carries a little nostalgia, a little discovery, and this latest trip, exploring the new space gallery was no exception. The old space exhibition had been there for around forty years, […]
Shakespeare’s Globe Tour – Summer Holidays 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has that magical ability to make history feel alive, and our 50‑minute tour did exactly that. It was interesting, entertaining, and unexpectedly immersive from the moment we stepped inside. Raffie, my eight year old, was the one who’d asked to go fresh from studying a bit of Shakespeare at school; and I’ll admit I’d quietly wondered whether the reality might bore him. But no! He was utterly captivated, saying […]
Stick Man Live – 2025!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Stick Man is back in his family tree for the 2025 festive season and after changing theatres last year, from the Leicester Square, to The Bloomsbury, they have clearly made the choice that the latter is a far better branch for these sticks to love for their run, and I agree! So, The Bloomsbury hosts the show for 2025, which I always say is the best children’s theatre I have ever seen. I’ve been […]
Plied And Prejudice In London!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Plied and Prejudice hits off west end next Thursday, 20th of March with a run which sees their hilarious parody of the Austin classic through to the 18th of May at the Waterloo Vaults. Just 5 actors play all 20 parts as they invite you to join them in an immersive performance of a party at Pemberley for everyone! A chaotic, boozy ball ensues while the audience get to almost become a part of […]
Jazz Night At The Chelsea Harbour Hotel! It’s not terribly often Jonny and I would get to enjoy an evening out in London just us, but somehow we are bookending this Easter holiday doing just that! For our first foray of the break to our capital City we hopped on the London Evening Out with Greater Anglia. This ticket costs £25 and affords travellers a return trip departing after 2pm, able to return on any train that evening or until […]
Dining Out At Gaucho! As a post matinee supper for my friend and I this weekend I used the OpenTable app to find a restaurant in Soho – my eye was immediately drawn, like a magpie, when one of the many suggestions (which come with ratings for how expensive, clear times available, the type of food, hints for their best reasons to visit and a wealth of reviews) to Gaucho Piccadilly. Just off London’s bustling Regent’s Street, yet tucked away […]
Buy A Gift For Christmas! Making Christmas present purchases for adults is really quite easy, even if you don’t know someone well. Everyone loves a candle and as long as you find out what their tipple is, a bottle of something is always going to go down well. Christmas whisky gifts go down VERY well in my house so with little thought the right item is easily procured. The tricky bit is when buying for children, choosing for kids can […]
Stick Man Live 2022! We’ve been to see Stick Man Live a LOT of times, but we would always, always, ALWAYS go back because we love it SO much! I remember going with friends when the big two were tiny and they said they could totally imagine they’d still be seeing this show even when the kids were grown up and didn’t want to go anymore. To be fair, I can’t imagine anyone growing out of it so I suspect […]
London Transport Museum – October Half Term: Secrets Of The City! When we lived in London we visited the London Transport Museum usually at least once a week. The great thing about this place is that kids go FREE and once you buy an adult ticket (currently £21 for peak entry and £18.50 off peak – off peak is term time and summer holidays only after 2pm) it counts as an annual meaning you can visit unlimited times for a […]
Little Manfred At The Polka Theatre – Wimbledon! It’s been many years since we went to the Polka Theatre, more’s the pity but I feel soon I shall have to rectify this. I used to take the big two when they were little all the time, not because Wimbledon was close to where we lived, far from it, but because it was always so absolutely excellent that it was worth the journey across London and venturing south of the river […]
