#JULIASAYS – Discerning scene musings from the princess of East London!

I’m very keen on keeping up to date with all the annual social events going on in London. I mean we’ve had London Fashion Week, then we’ve had Design Week, and now Art Week heading into just plain old Halloween lol!

I love the look of this; Studio Voltaire project currently installed for 6 months. The Oscar Wilde Temple is an immersive work of art and safe space which honors our LGBT+ community and liberation from its earliest days to the present where the space also work’s as a functional space, you can even get married there! Created by artists McDermott and McGough in partnership with the Albert Kennedy Trust and Studio Voltaire, free to go – 1a Nelson’s Row, SW4 7JR.

Expect your fave teen angst anthems to be sung, expect Rodent to guide you through a catharsis of indie mayhem and then meander home feeling a warm glow inside.
