WHY YOU SHOULD LIVE IN LONDON WHAT’S ON BOOKS EDUCATION STYLE ACTIVITIES re you in or out? I’m not talking Brexit, Remain or the EU referendum WELCOME but rather whether you are fully committed to a life in London. Sure, any A time spent on Rightmove will convince you into thinking you could have a better life in the countryside, living in a manor house, surrounded by acres of land and waited on by staff. But are we forgetting what it means to live in the city? Sophie Clowes thinks city life rocks and tells us why the capital is the best place to raise our kids. In a neat segue, we’re shining the spotlight on things to do in the big smoke with the kids in the holidays – from the best STEAM venues in London, to secret gardens in Surrey. And children’s entertainment experts Sharky & George share their ideas for alleviating boredom in the airport, on the beach and in the car. Beverley Turner reminds us why Dads rock, and Jo Pratt has some easy summer PHOTOGRAPHY & STYLING food to enjoy at home or abroad. The Little Revolution Productions [email protected] Happy Holidays!

The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

Meet at the Café at 10am for a gentle explor- ation lasting about an hour and a half. Our December walk drew a friendly crowd, seen here slightly dazzled by the bright winter sun – do join us for to the next one! All welcome, just turn up. THE RETURN OF LOVEBOX AND CITADEL The CIC has agreed to the Lovebox and Citadel festivals returning to the same area of the park as 2018 on 12, 13 and 14 July. The Ealing Events announcement stated that several key aspects will be changed in the light of feed-back from residents, statutory authorities and other stakeholders. It refers to better management of pedestrian access to and from the park, improving parking arrangements and managing traffic. It promises other changes, details to come and a better consultation process with residents. Last year they brushed aside the fears of the local residents on the grounds they were highly experienced organisers, then afterwards made a series of abject apologies for the distress they created around the Park. If they are truly listening this year, the consultation meetings will be important. We will circulate the dates when we have them. 'KINGDOM OF THE ICE AGE' Animatronic woolly mammoths will be moving into the Park in the spring. The contractors will be setting up the exhibits from 27 March onwards and paying visitors will be admitted between 6 and 28 April. Everything will be off site by 7 May.
