The Teenage Cancer Trust Comedy Night made audiences cackle at its hilarious comedic line up. The night took place on 2nd April at the Royal Albert Hall. Big comedic names like Jimmy Carr, Dave Spikey and Allan Davies are just some of those who graced the stage. The entire night was hosted by the public’s favourite Northern funny man, Jason Manford.
As well as enjoying a spectacular night of laughs, attendees were also part of a charity fundraising event by The Teenage Cancer Trust. This is an extremely worthwhile cause which raises money to make young people with cancer live life to the fullest. A percentage of the profits of ticket sales will go to the charity so it can continue doing the great work it does. The Teenage Cancer Trust sets up specialist units where all care is directed at helping young people to give teenagers the chance to come to terms with their conditions whilst continuing to do everyday things a teenager might enjoy. The outstanding work of The Teenage Cancer Trust is something you can support, whilst also having a big giggle, by attending events like the Comedy Night. What better place to enjoy this fantastic event than London’s historic Royal Albert Hall? The venue can hold up to 5,500 people so sitting amongst that many people having a hoot will have been an experience in itself. If you weren’t able to attend this event this time around, you definitely should next time around.

Pancake Day this year will fall on 21st February, normally the rule of thumb falls between the 2nd February and 9th March dependant on the date for Easter. Pancake day in London is traditionally celebrated with Pancake Races, here a just a few to get you in the spirit whilst you stay in London.
Shrove Tuesday as ‘Pancake Day’ is also known takes place on a different date every year in the United Kingdom. Pancakes are made up of sugar, fat, flour and eggs, these food elements were restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent.
Historically Shrove Tuesday dates back to the 12th Century, the tradition is said to have originated when a housewife from Olney was busy making pancakes that she forgot the time until she heard the Church Bells ringing for the Service. The housewife raced out of the house to church while still carrying her frying pan and pancake.
There are a few celebrations in London and here are a few worth visiting to celebrate the day.

The London Marathon is one of the most famous sporting events in the world, which sees runners take on a 26.2 mile route through the heart of the city. Established in 1981, the Marathon is a gruelling test for the world’s top athletes, however it is also an opportunity for the average person to test their mettle. Arguably the best thing about the London Marathon is the amount of money that it raises for charity – it holds the record of being the largest annual fund raising event in the world. It has been estimated that since 1981 the London Marathon has managed to raise over £450,000,000.00 for charity. The marathon has it all from the best athletes in the world pushing themselves to the limit, to the casual runner raising a few quid for their favourite charity and perhaps wearing fancy dress. The London Marathon is a great day for spectators and participants alike.

The reknowned artist Damien Hurst will be showing his work in London at the Gagosian Britannia until February 8th 2012, I decided to take the Family on a weekend trip to London to see Damien’s work and booked a London Apartment through Serviced City Pads. The reservation team can be contacted on 0844 335 8866.

You can expect to see work from 1986 through to 2011, Damien Hursts work is internationally re-knowned and was part of the up and coming group ‘The Young British Artist’, he can be classed as the most famous British living artist and is worth an estimated over £200 million pounds. Damian’s central theme is ‘About Death’ and has completed many works of dead animals such as a shark, sheep and cow to name a few. One of my favourite pieces is ‘For the Love of God’ where he has a humans skull made completely out of diamonds however Damien Hurst is never far from opinion and several of his works have been questioned about being very similar to other artists works. My family and I will enjoy the weekend visiting the show and staying in London and a real enjoyable part of the trip will be the home away from home feeling of a serviced apartment in London.

2012 marks the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II to the accession to the throne of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Queen Elizabeth succeeded her father King George VI there will be many special events taking place and to celebrate a Bank Holiday has been moved to June 4 as this will be the actual Queens birthday which will result in a 4 day honour holiday for the people of Great Britain so why not stay in london. I have made special plans to visit the capital to spend the whole four days celebrating the Queen. I have already chosen my London Apartment, booked through a very helpful company Serviced City Pads, you can contact the reservations team on 0844 335 8866.
A large event will be staged in London on that weekend, which is to include a diamond jubilee concert which we believe will be produced by the incredibly talented Gary Barlow who is the genius behind Take That and of course the most senior judge on the most watch show in television ‘The X Factor’. There will also be a maritime parade of boats and events along the River Thames on the 3rd of June, I belive this could be up to 1,000 boats which will be the largest flotilla on the river for 350 years and some 1 million people are expected to watch from the banks of the thames. The Queen will lead this flotilla in a specially designed Royal barge and I bielive this will be a most wonderful event.
The 2012 Olympic Park will also be named the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park, I’m so excited about this truly magical event, myself and the family will be staying in a Serviced Apartment in London.

Landscape photography are pictures taken which show the undulation of the land and the surrounding scenery, there is usually very little in the way of modern focus and the majority of pictures have no human content. The content is usually of Waterfalls, Seascapes, Coastlines and mountains very much in the classic grove of landscape photography, landscape photographers like to use the light particularly dusk so they can show the landscape at its most natural. We travelled to down to London on the train for the exhibition and booked a London Serviced Apartment which was ideal as it gave a true home away from home feel and allowed us to come and go as we pleased.
The most impressive part of Landscape is the use of high resolution cameras which pin point incredible details in the picture scope and found this incredible with many of the pictures. Serviced City Pads have Serviced Apartments London throughout the capital and I can thoroughly recommend.
