Kids in the city

Kids are very important to us here at Cheval Residences and with the schools on Summer holiday we feel it’s our duty to help you keep them busy and inspire their little minds with culture and lifestyle activities. This season across our social platforms we have focused on activities for #Kids this #SummerInTheCity. Join us as we collate the best kid friendly events this Summer in London.
Visit the V&A Museum of Childhood for a spot of sandcastle assembly in the grand sand pit or marvel at children’s author Jacqueline Wilson’s Daydreams and Diaries exhibition which celebrates all things Wilson, giving you a chance to find out about her childhood, early career and what inspired her to write.

If the kids are obsessed with Wilson’s work then why not see the book come to life in the form of Hetty Feather: Live on Stage? The 40 show limited run just so happens to be the authors favourite novel so get your tickets before its too late!

Whatabout a trip to the cinema? This week, Disney’s latest venture fly’s into movie theatres in the form of Planes: Fire and Rescue! The new 3D comedy adventure teaches kids the importance of change and second chances all wrapped up in a big Disney bow.

If you’d rather be outside with the kids this Summer consider paying a visit to Spitalfields City Farm. Visit Bayleaf the donkey and Bentley the goat, pop by for a delicious breakfast or perhaps buy some organic home grown veggies to take away with you.

And finally, consider visiting the Ice Age exhibition at the Natural History Museum to marvel at some of nature’s greats. The exhibition is in its final weeks and is a great experience for kids both big and small! Pay a visit and be aghast by Lyuba, the beautifully preserved baby mammoth from Russia.

Best Food Apps for Travelers

From apps that will help travelers find the nearest bar, microbrewery or coffee joint to a guide to chef-recommended restaurants, Travel + Leisure has curated a list of the top food-related apps for the globetrotting gourmand. Among their top picks is Ness , which claims to tailor restaurant recommendations to individual tastes. After users give their rating for 10 restaurants they’ve visited in the past, the app uses an algorithm to determine the user’s personal tastes and preferences before making customized restaurant recommendations. Savored , meanwhile, will appeal to the budget-minded traveler with sophisticated palates as the app offers discounts at dining destinations including Daniel Boulud DB Bistro Moderne in New York. Travelers undertaking culinary pilgrimages — that once-in-a-lifetime experience to an exorbitantly priced Michelin-starred restaurant — can also document their evening on Evernote Food which has built-in templates that let users archive photo

Crowds gather to witness the nightly ceremony at the Tower of London. To mark the centenary of the end of the First World War, Cheval Three Quays has pledged to donate a week’s profits from two of its apartments facing the Tower of London to the Royal British Legion charitable fund. The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support for the Armed Forces community – serving men and women, veterans and their families. Many of the building’s apartments face directly onto the 1,000 year-old castle, offering a unique perspective of the moving tribute taking place until the 11 th  November, as 10,000 flames are lit in the moat on a nightly basis.

A Beefeater, as the ex-service personnel who work at the Tower of London, are known, stands watch as the flames are lit one by one. The Cheval Three Quays building l
