Looking over last year's list of cultural pursuits I was really pleased to have such a diverse range of things listed and I managed to achieve my aim of one activity per month (going above & beyond some months!). Going to exhibits, seeing plays and looking at art is one of the main reasons I came to London and a good one to stay.
You can see the full round up from last year in one of the July '07 entries. The best of last year inspires me to see and do more this year.
Best gig: Glastonbury
Best musical: Joseph
Best British: Proms in the Park
Best exhib: Anthony Gormley
Best art: Royal Academy Summer Exhib
Best new cultural experience: Afternoon Tease (burlesque show)
Stay tuned for my further education in '08:
