Where do Mansion House locals go?
Tate Modern Kitchen & Bar
Nothing quite like sitting down with a cold, crisp glass of wine after a stroll along the south bank. The bar on the 6th floor of Tate Modern also comes with one of the best views in town AND the added benefit of supporting a fantastic arts institution. Later weekend opening times make this a great place to watch the sunset.Read more
The Museum of the Order of St John Cloister Garden
A wonderful quiet garden for people in the know and ideal to sit in on a summer's day. Make sure you also take time to find the entrance to the original crypt, a wonderfully thematic space with tombs dating back hundreds of years.Read more

Did you know?
"Great St Bart's is a church on West Smithfield and was used in the filming of a number of well known films, including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Robert Downey-Jr's Sherlock and The Other Boleyn Girl."
I love the buzz of the City at dusk and the stunning architecture along the cityscape. It really makes me excited to live in London.

Just off Bishopsgate, Middlesex Street leads to charming alleyways that are lined with pubs and shops.

Total Immersion: Icelandic Chill - Chamber and Choral Icelandic Treasures
The human voice is the oldest of all instruments, and in the untamed landscape of Iceland, song can often be the strongest sound of all. Sofi Jeannin conducts the BBC Singers in a voyage of discovery through Iceland’s centuries-old vocal tradition: timeless harmonies, both ancient and ultra-modern. First, though, the superb young artists of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama perform chamber music by Icelandic composers. “Everyone in my family was musicians, so it was the normal thing to do in my household” says composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, and amid the epic solitude of Iceland this is music with an intensely human soul – finding beauty in isolation, and glowing with emotion in the long Northern nights. Programme to include works by... Hildur Guðnadóttir Viktor Orri Árnason Þorkell SigurbjörnssonRead more
Music of Light and Colour
"Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings." — Kandinsky How do we ‘see’ music, or ‘hear’ images? From Newton’s colour scales assigning tones to the rainbow, artists and composers have long explored the deep connections between sound and vision. Kandinsky’s Compositions and Improvisations; Klee’s polyphonic paintings, and Scriabin’s synaesthetic craft all reveal the scintillating interplay of visual and sonic art. This lecture traces their co-evolution and shared language, from spectral composers to technological translations of light into rhythm and melody, uncovering the hidden spectrum where music and colour intertwine.Read more

Why Do We Grieve?
Grieving is a uniquely human emotion – or is it? Is the apparent attachment of elephants or orcas to the bodies of dead relatives a sign of grief, or simply an instinctive behaviour without emotional implications? Why do some people seem able to handle grief so much better than others? And how close are we to finding a pharmaceutical ‘cure’ for grief…and if we find it, should we use it?Read more
Constable's "The Cornfield": A Bicentenary Harvesting
Constable’s painting The Cornfield celebrates its bicentenary in 2026. How has it aged? This a landscape that has acquired iconic status – a marker of national identity -- as a representation of typically English countryside. How has that Englishness been constituted in the painting? And how does The Cornfield (a view of a partly working landscape) speak to current ideas about relationships and tensions between the natural world and the human presence, especially in our age of environmental anxieties?Read more
