Leaves Begin to Turn & October is Upon Us

So the leaves are turning a bright, deep, dark scarlet red and look ablaze with a rich burst of color! They herald a timely event; the coming of winter as they say their last “Hurrah!” 

London in October speaks of rich history and culture.

There is the celebration of Black History Month. There’s a documentary screening of Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, which explores the connection between race, history and the human condition on 21 of October.

For those who like to participate in the physical art of racing or running – there is the Royal Parks Half Marathon in which to stretch your legs and show off your running prowess as you maneuver around iconic national treasures. 

For those who are focused more on the literary there is the Southbank Centre’s London Literature Festival which features literature’s rising stars and popular literary artists to celebrate the written word. Sharpen your quill and immerse yourself in the rich culture of literature, authorship, and admit to being a bibliophile!

Oktoberfest is always a favourite for those who want to celebrate tradition with Bavarian dress, loads of fresh pretzels, vibrant dancing, and flowing IPA beer and of course you don’t want to miss the renaissance. 

And for those who are older and enjoy an apple martini crafted in a unique way – there is the London Cocktail Week! There’s tastings and masterclasses along with food pairing tutorials so that when you have guests over you can impress them with your ability to pair unique flavours of food with drink in order to delight their palates.
