So whether you’ve lived here your whole life or you’re new to London, taking in some culture, and for free are high up on the list of best things to do when you’ve spent all your money on the Uber home the night before. So, if you want to make the most of your day off, then you can get round to one of the many free museums of London!

Guy Fawkes Night: Where to see fireworks?

Image
Remember, remember the 5th of November… We sure did! London culture is home to Guy Fawkes night, where we eat toffee apples, light bonfires and set off fireworks. For those of you who don’t know about Bonfire night, or who Guy Fawkes even is? We are here to help. Dated back in 1605 there was a man called Guy Fawkes. He set an elaborate plan to blow up the Houses of Parliment, however, his plan was discovered and he failed. This failure is now celebrated with a bonfire, occasionally some people will burn effigies of Guy Fawkes. This is to symbolise the fall of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Gone are the days when you would stand in an empty field with a few fireworks and a sparkler. London has taken this night and spread it across a few days. If you are in London you will hear fireworks going off the days leading up to November 5th and the days after. If you are attending a London event it is likely you will now find fair rides, food and drink stalls to entertain. Guy Fawkes day has hi...

SUPER BOWL 2014

Image
Super Bowl is the Sunday on which the Super Bowl is played, normally in early February. Thousands of people gather to watch the game and the meeting is really well know due to the large amount of food that is consumed by attendees.  At the beginning, the Super Bowl was celebrated only in the United States, but every year new countries join the celebration of the game. The Super Bowl has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast yearly.  As a result, many high profile television commercials are broadcast during the game, often coming by major brands ( Budweiser, Mercedes, Audi... ), but also smaller brands seeking the exposure that can be obtained through the advertising in the match.  Super Bowl advertisements have also become a cultural phenomenon of their own; many viewers only watch the game to see the commercials, while national surveys  judge which advertisement carried the best viewer response. These are the most representatives...
