Rediscover London's Cultural Pulse |
|
| |
This has been an exciting week in South Kensington. The Royal Albert Hall reopened its doors for the first time since March with a socially distanced Father Christmas and plans for their 150th anniversary. Fantastic Beasts launched at the Natural History Museum, and at the V&A, the much-awaited Bags: Inside Out. If that wasn't enough to tempt you, Jennifer Packer's new exhibition The Eye Is not Satisfied for Seeing opened at the Serpentine Galleries. And to conclude your visit to London's leading cultural district, the Institut français has a festive season of movies at their Ciné Lumière.
A Christmas you'll remember for all the right reasons!
