Did you conquer the world with your extra hour orr

Did you conquer the world with your extra hour orrrrrrrrr pull the duvet over your head for an extra 40 winks 😉?
Need inspiration for this rainy Sunday?
- The British Museum’s new exhibition, Arctic: Culture and Climate has just opened. It tells the tale of how the Arctic peoples are dealing with the frontline of climate change and how their cultures have adapted over time to living in some of the world’s most extreme conditions.
- Aké, Africa’s largest arts festival winds up today. It normally happens in Lagos but has gone online for 2020 meaning you can watch some of the brightest voices from the African diaspora from your home
- The National Theatre marked the return of live theatre with Death of England: Delroy. It runs until the 28th Nov and has attracted some pretty big rave reviews
- London Cocktail Week (which actually runs for a whole month this year) is still going strong.
- The Peter Harrison Planetarium in Greenwich finally reopened - giving you the much-needed opportunity to escape the planet earth and explore the outer confines of the universe.
- The Natural History Museum (pictured) is good for any day, rain or shine 😁

The cosiest little alley with the bestest drinks!

Little Venice is the not-so-secret spot tucked awa

Little Venice is the not-so-secret spot tucked away between two canals: the Great Union Canal and Regent’s Canal.
If you squint on a sunny day, it’s not hard to see where it gets its name from 😍
Random fact of the day - did you know that Alan Turing was born here? You can thank me when you use that to dominate your next Zoom quiz (the horror 🤡)

Did you know there's a secret cemetery in Hyde Par

Did you know there's a secret cemetery in Hyde Park?⠀
Rows and rows of small graves, clustered amidst the fallen leaves and undergrowth on the corner of Bayswater Road and Victoria Gate mark one of the most curious spots in London's Royal Parks... The Hyde Park Pet Cemetery.⠀
Blink and you'll miss it - the cemetery isn't marked and is rarely open to the public, but if you peek through the park railings by Victoria Gate, you'll see it there, tiny graves poking up through the undergrowth.⠀
The unofficial pet cemetery boomed between 1880 and 1915. A Maltese terrier called Cherry came first - a regular visitor to Hyde Park, her owners knew Windbridge and asked if he would mind burying the dog in the garden of his lodge, Victoria Lodge. He acceded, unwittingly setting off a chain of events that would see the lodge's small garden brimming with elaborate epitaphs and marble tombstones.⠀
Not everyone was swept up in the sentimentality, however, George Orwell famously called the cemetery 'perhaps the most horrible spectacle' in London. Tell us what you really think George....⠀
