It’s officially Autumn and with the leaves turning gold and a chill in the air we all know it’s time to take that jacket out of hibernation once again or shop for a fabulous new one! London is bursting with activities this season and here is a pick of our favourite things to do. The famous Trafalgar Square hosts many events all year round and October 12 th marks this year’s Diwali celebrations. Partake in the ‘ Festival of Lights’ and experience traditional Asian music and dance before exploring the bazaar and watching the dazzling fireworks. http://bit.ly/1okt533 Daylight Saving Time ends on the 26 th October and that means shorter days and longer nights!

Nasim, Fabio and Federica. Our wonderful Reservation Agents at Cheval Residences can be reached on  +44 (0)20 7341 7052. My name is Nasim , I am German from Lebanese origin that moved to London to study and work at the age of 17 and ended up staying and falling in love with this city. I have worked in several London 5 star hotels before and joined the Cabin Crew sector for a year working for Emirates and living in Dubai.

Team members from sales, marketing, concierge, housekeeping and management spent the afternoon productively making and planting poppies in the moat of the tower. Upon arriving we joined the volunteer queue, it was wonderful to see so many eager and willing people wanting to make a difference!

The assemblers would then hand these ‘poppy rods’ to the planters to fill the moat wi
