Coming up at St Pancras on 9 May, a gala showing of (to my mind) the greatest musical film of all time, 'Gold Diggers of 1933'. Don't be a 'forgotten man' get 'in the money' and come and see this pre-code spectacular Busby Berkeley show eventbrite.co.uk/e/gold-diggers…

One of the best things about our location is proximity to London's theatre scene and history! The Theatre Royal, today commonly known as the Drury Lane Theatre, opened in London on 7 May1663. It is the oldest English theatre still in use! buff.ly/9SZZsHy

One of the 'perks' of our School is the wide range of events we get to be a part of. On Sunday, our Creative Writing lecturer, Travis Elborough, treated us to a fantastic walk around the churches by Nicholas Hawksmoor, one of London's most intriguing architects.
