John Soane Museum
Our English Language student visited the fascinating John Soane museum, situated in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Holborn. The students were all amazed by this Georgian house full of antiquities, sculptures and paintings which John Soane declared would be a free museum for London when he died, 3 centuries ago. The journey began at Blackfriars station and continued through the historic Temple before arriving at the museum.

Social Calendar
Carnaby was the first area to announce its Christmas light plans for 2021. It's teamed up with refugee charity Choose Love (which has a pop-up store at 3 Carnaby Street) for Carnaby Kaleidoscope, an overhead display of over 600 shimmering butterflies signifying rebirth, transformation, change, hope and life.

It's unveiled on 4 November, when the annual Christmas shopping party takes place. Register for a free ticket to take advantage of discounts and special events in the local shops, restaurants and bars.
A showcase of 125 years of motoring including veteran, vintage, classic, and the very latest cars. Something for everyone, with lots of things to see and do including interactive displays and entertainment throughout the day from 10.30am until 4pm. A family friendly environment with the Street pedestrianised from Piccadilly Circus to Oxford Circus. The usual shopping appeal of Regent Street with a great opportunity for some early Christmas shopping too! It’s all completely free to view!
The National Service of Remembrance, held at The Cenotaph in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday, ensures that no-one is forgotten as the nation unites to honour all those who have suffered or died in war. HM The Queen will pay tribute alongside Members of the Cabinet, Opposition Party leaders, former Prime Ministers, the Mayor of London and other ministers. Representatives of the Armed Forces, Fishing Fleets and Merchant Air and Navy will be there, as well as faith communities and High Commissioners of Commonwealth countries. One of the most moving parts of the event is the march past the Cenotaph by thousands.
