City Lit offers a massive range of courses- from Italian to Cookery to Latino Percussion- varying from one day to a year in length. Having completed my first term of french here, i recommend the excellent quality of teaching. Another bonus is that the college offers loads of concessions, with under 19s being able to enrol for up to 3 courses for free.

I loved this adaption of Much Ado About Nothing. Hilarious (thanks to the fabulous Zoe Wanamaker) and really clear and easy to follow, it was true to the National's reputation for putting on fantastic plays. The set was also great, with a real swimming pool!

I saw someone i know play here. Surrounded by candel light, fantastic music and the beautiful architecture of this church the evening was really magical. Go as soon as you can!

I recently saw a play here about Patrick Kavangh called 'On Raglan Road'. The play was good, as was the pub. The theatre is situated upstairs and feels like a fringe theatre should- intimate and friendly. Intimate is a good word to use- the tiny space was so packed out that i was practically sitting on my neighbours lap! However one should take this as a good reflection of the theatre and its productions.

I often run here as its a good distance (Finsbury Park to Highgate Hill) and is far more interesting and beautiful than the monotony of a treadmill. The walk is also popular for strolling and dog walking. A word of warning however- NEVER go here at night. Its notorious for trouble and is littered with condoms and the occasional needle. I'd also recommend going running with someone else, just for peace of mind.

If heavy, brow knitting art isn't your thing then i suggest you pay the National Portrait gallery a visit. With photos of well-known faces comprising the permanent exhibition, it feels slightly less high brow and more like flicking through a magazine. Of course the art itself is by no means discredited; the photographic awards which i saw here (£1 entry) were quirky, well-shot and absorbing.

The Ladies bathing pond is one of those places that makes you feel as though you are in a remote part of the countryside- not London. I like the womens only pond best as it has a far more tranquil vibe than the mixed ponds- upheld by grouchy women telling you off if you talk too loudly or answer your mobile. But fair enough i say, as the pros of adhering to the rules definately outweigh the cons.

Brick Lane is one of the places i love most in London and undeniably one of the biggest cultural hotspots. Known as a big asian area, the Lane is populated with loads of yummy Indian restaurants, sari shops and Indian sweet shops. Its become really 'hip' recently- meaning that in contrast theres also loads of fashionable vintage shops and clubs. There's a Brick Lane festival which i think takes place in September and a market every sunday too.

Tate Modern exhibitions promise to be fascinating and unique. Amongst all of the artists i've seen here, the Frida Khalo exhibition was definately my favourite. Installations in the Turbine Hall are equally groundbreaking- with previous work including massive slides, an all-encomposing sunset and a gigantic spider. The position of the gallery makes it even better- right in the heart of London.

Little Venice, as other reviews will tell you, is made up of loads of little Canal boats all bunched together in Maida Vale. One of my favourite things to do in London is walk this route starting from Little v. and continuing all the way along the canal, through Regents Park Zoo, on to Camden and finally ending up in Angel. A really interesting alternative to seeing London.
