Win an annual subscription to Journl

Last week Little Sis and I had a day out in the West End. We’re having lots of fun together whilst her brother is at school and I thought we’d venture  a little further than normal. I love planning and making lists so used Journl to plan our day. I checked bus and tube times and made a note of them, researched exhibitions to see, places to eat and of course, some of our favourite shops to visit.

We dropped the 4 year old at school, hopped on the bus to the station and caught the tube into the West End. Our first stop was the National Portrait Gallery to see the Anarchy & Beauty: William Morris and His Legacy, 1860 – 1960 exhibition about William Morris, the Victorian artist, writer and visionary thinker. It was  really interesting exhibition with portraits, personal items and furniture and textiles, illustrating Morris’s concept of ‘art for the people’.

The second part of the exhibition showcased books, jewellery, ceramics and clothing by craftspeople such as Eric Gill, Bernard Leach and Terence Conran, demonstrating how Morris’s legacy continued into the twentieth century, influencing radical politics, the Garden City movement and even the Festival of Britain in 1951.

I love the work of William Morris so it was a great exhibition, even if Little Sis did get told off for touching one of the displays! The exhibition wasn’t child-friendly at all but we did pick up one the free sketch books which kept Little Sis happily scribbling drawing and writing.

After the exhibition we walked around the West End, she chased the pigeons in Leicester Square, and we had a delicious lunch at Wagamama, sitting across from a famous boy band.

Then we had a slow walk back to the tube station, with a cheeky visit to Cath Kidston at 180 Piccadilly.
