Tammy’s top travel tips from London
Photograph – “Invasion Day 1 – Dawn” by Sasha Goldberger c/o the artist and Galerie X11 In a world where we’re bombarded with pictures, it’s good to know that there is still an event which throws up fascinating and impactful visual images. Photo London is the UK’s leading […]
Photograph – The Chinese community in Limehouse, London Docklands c/o Tower Hamlet Library and Archives. The Chinese have been long overlooked in British history, but a new exhibition called “Chinese and British” at the British Library reveals a rich seem of ‘hidden’ heritage. As a teenager my parents […]
Who doesn’t love a trip to London in the spring when culture shoots up in its full, vibrant splendour? Gone are the winter themed shows, pantomime season and the cold weather… it’s time to ring in the changes for a trip bursting with fresh cultural life. Here’s my […]
18 Folgate Street may look like an ordinary old house on a historic street in Spitalfields, but once inside, it’s quite extraordinary. The house is a Noah’s Ark of historic objects, a mirror to a lost period in history. It’s like being stuck inside a Charles Dickens novel […]
What’s hot this summer in London’s culture and theatre scene. A dozen of the very hottest shows.

What’s my favourite event in the visual arts calendar in London? It’s a tough question but there’s no doubt that Photo London is a strong contender. It’s a must-see event on my cultural hit list. Photo London is a brilliant showcase for global photography but the pandemic has […]
Walking into the Paul Nash exhibition at Tate Britain is like going back in time to explore the big themes of the 20th Century. War and peace. Nash lived through the two defining wars of that century. He fought as a soldier in the First World War and painted as an official war artist […]
Gavin Turk is infamous for being one of the Brat Pack of Young British Artists. It’s no surprise that his first major solo show in more than a decade is wonderfully anarchic. The maverick artist’s back catalogue fills Damien Hirst’s splendid, new London art palace hidden away in the back streets of […]
Abstract Expressionism is one of the biggest art movements of the 20th Century so it’s no surprise that the Royal Academy’s juggernaut show in London is big box office. It’s the first major exhibition of Abstract Expressionism in six decades – and with around 150 painting and sculptures from around […]
