What’s On This Weekend: The London Gay Symphony Orchestra, The World of Anna Sui & The London Riviera
London Gay Symphony Orchestra in Westminster
The London Gay Symphony Orchestra is the UK’s oldest LGBT+ orchestra and one of only a select group all over the world. It was founded by a close group of friends in 1996 and has now grown into a dynamic group with over 100 musicians who perform regularly together all over London and elsewhere. They will be returning to St John’s Smith Square this Sunday to celebrate the 21st anniversary of LGBT+ with a great programme of Russian classics as well as new work from Micheal Finnissy, who won two British Composer Awards in 2015. His work has been commissioned specifically to mark this special occasion and so this show is not to be missed! Only round the corner from our Westminster office, drop in and say hello to our team if you’re interested in looking at properties to rent or properties to buy in the area.
Choirs Take The Stage at Southbank Centre
If you enjoy watching choirs sing, or have been inspired after watching Pitch Perfect the movie, then head to the Royal Festival Hall at Southbank Centre this Saturday to watch choirs of all styles and ranges as they take to the stage to do what they do best. Chorus is an annual festival head at the Southbank Centre which celebrates the power of the human voice. As this is a free event, new choirs are invited to take part over the two days and audiences can enjoy the sound and spirit of communal singing. The festival will run from 11am and modern, traditional and totally different choirs will be taking to the stage all day.
Afghanistan: Reflections On Helmand in Kennington
Afghanistan: Reflections on Helmand is a special exhibition taking place at the Imperial War Museum in Kennington. This exhibition will examine the British arrival in the Helmand province, Afghanistan back in 2006 and the decisions that shaped the way the conflict out there escalated. It will explore the impact this time-period had on those who were there and how they were affected as well as the lessons learnt from this deployment. Visitors will be able to see newly acquired objects, photography, video and audio interviews on display for the very first time. Only a very short bus ride from our Kennington office, drop if you’re keen to find out more about properties to rent or properties to buy in the area!
Catch Me (Attrape-Moi) on Southbank
The Underbelly Festival brings the best in live circus, comedy, cabaret and family entertainment to the banks of the Thames every summer. As part of the amazing line up on offer, Catch Me (Attrape-Moi) is a new show by the Canadian circus act, Flip Fabrique. These extreme acrobats will be soaring through the air, twirling hoops and astonishing audiences with their adrenalin pumping performance through use of trampolines and inventive parkour. Some people would call these people athletes due to their fearlessness and showmanship. This show will be a great way to spend the evening with the family this weekend.
The World of Anna Sui Exhbition in London Bridge
Anna Sui is a famous American fashion designer whose signature rock-n-roll romanticism reinvents pop culture for every new generation. Since her first fashion show in 1991, Sui has not only designed clothes but accessories, beauty and interiors as well. This exhibition at The Fashion & Textile Museum in London Bridge, features over 100 looks from the designer’s archive from every era and group of archestype such as Surfers, School Girls, Hippies, Mods and Punks. If you are a fashion student or perhaps an Anna Sui fan, then this will be a great show to go and see this weekend.

The London Riviera in London Bridge
Head down to the Southbank between Tower Bridge and London Bridge to see the riverside turned into the London Riviera this weekend and for the rest of the summer. This is a pop-up food and drink experiences that brings a hint of Miami beach and a hint of the French Riviera to add a more summery vibe to the Thames. There will be free entertainment every day such as Massoake (which stands for mass-karaoke) as well as a 50 piece band, swing dancers and even an interactive circus show. There will be delicious cocktails, craft beer and tasty Mexican food served by Taco Revolution. This is a great way to spend the evening with friends after work, so grab a drink, relax on a sun lounger and take in the great atmosphere!
