I love this concept. A not-for-profit organisation, London Print Studio offers courses and…read moreworkshops on graphics and print design as well as a space where you can come and use their mac computers and design software as well as printing facilities for free, you just need to become a member. I signed up for a 5 session course into screen printing in January for £117, really good value for a life skill that you can apply to so many different elements of design - I'm thinking t-shirts! The space also holds exhibitions of student's work too, and the subject matter is always diverse and interesting. Great for meeting like-minded people too.

And the pudding with the overnight oatmeal soak was extremely disappointing. Could do a lot better and I know because I have had way better here previously.

What a wonderful way to spend an evening!…read more Two films (usually with a theme running between them) for £7.50. SEVEN FIFTY!! Last night's was a Joaquin Phoenix double bill, showing Walk The Line followed by Two Lovers. While we ended up skipping the first film and just having dinner, the price is still very reasonable. We shared a lovely bottle of wine outside on the terrace (had to sit on the wall though as all the tables were full) with amazing views of the river and Hammersmith Bridge. Back inside for dinner, which we shared: a large mezze platter and some mushroom bruschetta, both of which were delicious and just enough. The cinema itself is what every cinema should be: small and dark, with the seats on an incline so everyone can see. They showed the previews and ads WAY before the start time (PERFECT!!), even drew the curtains in between the previews and the film itself (DRAMATIC!!). Riverside has much more to offer than just a restaurant and a cinema... it also shows stand-up comedy, has a fully functioning tv studio where they film live shows, a theatre for live music, and art exhibitions. A wonderful space with quality at every turn.

I was in Kensington…read moreone evening and was walking past looking at the establishment when the door opened, a friendly face appeared who very kindly gave me a tour of the institution. Classical Indian music and dance lessons are available here. At the weekends for about two hours they have a reasonably priced cafe which I am yet to try and an art gallery space upstairs which I believe can be hired. South Asian language classes are also available. A few weeks later they invited me to join them for Indian Independence Day celebrations where the students performed and the Indian High Commissioner to London gave an excellent speech.

Here comes bias-city…read more Imperial College is a fantastic place to study, the faculty here are top notch, and the number of societies and amount of activities you can get involved with endless. For a university dedicated to science, technology and medicine, students here are surprisingly gifted in the arts (we've got several orchestras and choirs, as well as the main college orchestra which won the competition for the best University Orchestra in 2008) and sports. Located in South Kensington but with campuses around Hammersmith, Paddington, Chelsea and White City there's loads of things to do, and easy access to the rest of London for nights out. And the campuses themselves look great. Our union has vastly improved, and is cheap (of course) which makes up for the house prices in London. And you get to graduate in the Royal Albert Hall. Bonus. But then, like others here, I would say that!

This a porcelain art studio that is based in Milan with branches in London and Geneva…read more It is a well known name for those interested in this type of art and drawing (like my mother) who I accompanied this morning to purchase some of the needed items for her art work. We were warmly welcomed and allowed to have a peak at the workshop that was taking place this morning. the main goal was to purchase some colours and other technical materials for the drawings- which unfortunately they do not stock that much of anything- some products were on shelves for sale but completely dried out. I enjoyed looking at art pieces similar to what my mum is filling the house with but in general enjoyed this morning at this little shop.

The Small Galleries Association is actually much more exciting than its name applies. Rather than an exclusive or even stuffy membership body, this lovely new venture was set up to bring art to a wider audience. Locals and visitors from further afield are invited on a monthly tour around the galleries - on a traditional Routemaster, conductor et al - with Portobello Radio broadcasting live from the bus! What's not to love? The inaugural ride on 9 November was a hoot with just the right mix of banter on the busses and a wide range of art (from graffiti and graphic prints to fine art photography, painting and sculpture) across about a dozen galleries, being updated with some local knowledge along the way. Not sure if it's possible to do them all in one night, but I managed to make three rounds and visited some galleries further off the beaten track (and not on a regular bus route). Tickets are free and I've reserved my seat on the next tour already - starting at 6pm from the junction of Portobello Road and Cambridge Gardens (short walk from Ladbroke Grove tube) on Wedensday 13 December.
