Autumn in London Abounds: Festivals, Design, and Architectural Gems

Welcome to 'Time IN London' on this crisp Tuesday, September 17, 2024. As the summer warmth gives way to the brisk autumn air, London is buzzing with a plethora of exciting events and activities.

Today, the city is bathed in a gentle autumn glow, with clear skies and a moderate air quality, making it perfect for exploring. Here are a few key events that capture the essence of London's vibrant scene:

1. Totally Thames Festival: This month-long celebration continues to enchant the city with arts festivals, community events, music, and river activities along the Thames. It's a great time to enjoy the city's riverfront.
2. London Design Festival: Running from September 14 to 22, this festival showcases London's creativity, featuring some of the world's greatest designers and thinkers. It's an unmissable event for design enthusiasts.
3. Open House London: Also happening from September 14 to 22, Open House London offers free guided tours of some of London's most architecturally unique spaces, giving you a glimpse into the city's hidden gems.

In local news, London is always evolving. Keep an eye out for new restaurant openings in trendy areas like Shoreditch and Camden. Public transit updates include improved services on the London Underground, making it easier to navigate the city.

For must-do activities today, consider visiting Kew Gardens to soak up the autumn sun and see the leaves changing colors. Take a scenic walking tour to discover hidden gems like the street art in Brick Lane or the historic landmarks along the South Bank. If you're looking for something unique, catch an alfresco movie at one of London's outdoor cinemas.

Here's a local tip: To navigate like a local, use the London Underground's 'quiet carriages' during peak hours for a more peaceful commute. Also, did you know that the famous London phone booths are actually listed buildings? You can find them scattered around the city, adding to its nostalgic charm.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, don't miss the Great River Race, where over 330 crews will tackle a 21-mile course past many famous London landmarks. It's a spectacle not to be missed.

Tune in tomorrow for more 'Time IN London' as we explore the city's endless possibilities and keep you updated on all the exciting events and activities that make London so special. Until then, enjoy your day in this incredible city

Have you heard about the 2018 study that showed half of prenatal vitamins tested had unacceptable levels of heavy metals? No. Well, now you have. I'm Kat, mother of three and founder of Ritual, the company making traceability the new standard in the supplement industry. I remember staring at my prenatal vitamins and finding all these things I was trying to avoid. High amounts of heavy metals, synthetic colorants, and unnecessary ingredients. So, at four months pregnant, I quit my job and started ritual. Because I believe that all women deserve to know what they're putting in their bodies and why. I'm so proud of our prenatal vitamin. The ingredients are 100% traceable, it's third party tested for microbes and heavy metals, and recently received the purity award from the Clean Label Project. You see, we trace like a mother because, let's be honest, no one cares quite like a mother. But don't just take my word for it. Just for yourself with 25% off at virtual.com/podcast.
