Our Autumn picks this season.

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 12th 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 26th October and that means shorter days and longer nights! London is at its most beautiful in the dark so why not make the most of this opportunity and admire the lights at Piccadilly Circus or Harrods? http://bit.ly/1my1pft

Ghosts and ghouls are not the only ones who love Halloween in London! Why not take a trip to the London Dungeon on the 31st October and get scared silly during this interactive Halloween experience? Learn about Sweeny Todd, Jack the Ripper and various other real life London villains! http://bit.ly/1vlE6Wb. If you’re looking for a tamer evening consider buying tickets for the Wicked musical and learn the untold story of the Witches of Oz. http://bit.ly/1sxR99I

Firework fans will enjoy Guy Fawkes Night on November 5th commemorating the time the House of Lords was saved from a gunpowder plot in the 1600’s. Displays are put on in many public parks around London. For a list of events please visit http://bit.ly/1rnijh5

If you’ve been keeping up with the Cheval Facebook account you will have noticed our support for the #TowerPoppies campaign. November 11th is Remembrance Day, a day commemorating the First World War and the last of the 888,246 ceramic poppies will be planted in a special ceremony at the Tower of London. http://bit.ly/1uhYgju

And finally November 27th is Thanksgiving for our American friends across the pond. Why not visit an American themed restaurant with those you are thankful for? We love the tangy wings at Bodeans http://bit.ly/1xpEQ0l and the limitless BBQ at Big Easy! http://bit.ly/1g4BmDY

We wish all our guests a fantastic Autumn in London and anticipate the snowy Winter ahead!

A Londoner's Beauty Summer Kit

Image
The Post Festival Recovery Kit by Hayley Cheval Gloucester Park has a Boots nearby. We wait all year for the summer to enjoy the best of the open air. But staying more outside means more time standing up, less sleep, more time in the sun and a lot more walking. And that can make us look tired... which is not at all the face of summer. London beauty queen +Hayley Carr  set up what she calls a "post festival recovery kit", as in London summer = music festivals everywhere (and we love it).  But we thought this selection is also good for every summer event, perfect to make you look fresh all season long. And the best? You can find all the products in London, some in stores like Boots, which we can find everywhere in the city. Here are the selected products in Hayley's words: 1.
