"On 3rd February each year, people with throat infections may visit London's oldest Catholic church, St Etheldreda's in Ely Place to have their throat blessed. The service commemorates St Blaise who once saved a child from choking on a fish bone."
The street art on this wall is constantly changing, which makes for a beautiful and rousing walk to work every morning. Expect the unexpected on Great Eastern Street!

Evelyn De Morgan: The Modern Painter in Victorian London
One of the most remarkable artists of her generation, Evelyn De Morgan, is returning to Guildhall Art Gallery this year in a major exhibition that premieres two newly restored artworks. In collaboration with the De Morgan Foundation, Guildhall Art Gallery will present ‘Evelyn De Morgan: The Modern Painter in Victorian London’, from 4 April 2025 to celebrate the work of an extraordinary artist who flew in the face of convention. While exhibiting her paintings in London, a selection of Evelyn De Morgan’s work was included in a ‘Collection of the British School who Have Flourished during Her Majesty's reign’ at Guildhall Art Gallery in 1897. More recently, one of her paintings was featured in the gallery’s ‘Enchanted Interior’ exhibition in 2020. Evelyn De Morgan’s richly coloured canvases, featuring beautifully draped figures laden with messages of feminism, spirituality, and the rejection of war and material wealth, won her many high-profile admirers, including Oscar Wilde, Sir Charles Dilke MP, and the Pre-Raphaelite painter, William Holman Hunt.Read more

Twelfth Night
The Royal Shakespeare Company welcomes in the festive season at the Barbican this winter with Shakespeare’s spellbinding masterpiece Twelfth Night, following a 5 star, sold-out run in Stratford-upon-Avon, from 8 December. Director Prasanna Puwanarajah revives his ‘inspired and spellbinding’ (The Stage) production, iconically designed by James Cotterill, which sees Samuel West (Malvolio), Freema Agyeman (Olivia), and Michael Grady-Hall (Feste) reprising their critically acclaimed performances. A woman survives a shipwreck and washes up on an unknown shore. Alone and bereaved of her twin brother, she embarks on a secret new life as a go-between for two people in the extremity of love and grief. Caught up in the ensuing love triangle, she experiences the chaos and humanity of unexpected love; and discovers that in Illyria, everyone is hiding something. With original music and songs composed by singer songwriter Matt Maltese, don’t miss this bittersweet freewheeling miracle of farce, longing, love and life, playing for 6 weeks only until 17 January 2026.
