The clothing is top notch for extreme climates but they also have inespensive tourist t-shirts. The staff are excellent and when one gave us the wrong directions another corrected him and then he found us and corrected himself too and apologised! The stuff in here is fascinating and perfect for kids of 4 - 104! I went to the cafe for the extremely reasonably proced cocktails and they had a lovely summery strawberry something which was amazing! Who would have thought - cocktails at the National Geographic shop! I have been meaning to come for awhile and I'm pleased I finally did!

I passed by the cultural centre a number of times but never stopped in until recently. I was…read moreinspired by my flatmate to take a language course so I thought it was best to refine my Korean (I can order food and speak to 4 year olds). I googled Korean language courses and came across the Sejong institute that runs free (Yes, FREE!) Korean classes. Because of the high demand, they only have 1 intake per year and it's purely by a lottery system. I didn't make the first cut for the intermediate course but luckily I was able to join as the ones initially selected couldn't join. (good for me!) So the course is free but you have to pay for the books which came out to about 45 quid for both books. It meets once a week for about 2 hours and you get weekly homework. The instructor is really good at explaining - also teaches at a good pace that the entire class can follow. I think I'm the only Korean person in the class which makes it quite interesting and diverse. Its great taking the language course at the cultural centre because you're exposed to the various programs, such as Korean movie night, lectures, art exhibits. You can really immerse yourself into the Korean cultural - as well as trying out some of the Korean that you just learned. There is so much to do there. There's even a whole library full of Korean dramas that you can go and watch there (unfortunately you can't rent them). Check out the website to see the various events they are hosting. Anyong!

I don't remember there being anywhere to sit but you will want to be standing anyway to look up and that gorgeous mosaic. If there was somewhere to sit, you could easily spend hours in this small but absolutely gorgeous space. If I remember correctly, this chapel was part of Middlesex Hospital and there is a dedication to Rudyard Kipling. I'm not sure if there are services held her but if there are, I would definitely try to attend. An absolutely stunning place to visit in London. Check the hours - when I visited, it was only open on Wednesdays.

A fabulous new venue. Free access for quiet contemplation on certain days. See website.read more

During our visit the musician Colin Andrew played/sang and he was amazing. With notes of Paolo Nutini, he really added to the overall vibe and made the night a hit. All in all I can't speak highly enough about The Bloomsbury Club drinks and vibe and would absolutely return in a second!
