Would you like to discover more about the cultural heritage of London's West End?

You can enroll in Urbanwise. London's free six-week Arts and Heritage Course is held at Westminster Reference Library, an iconic location in the heart of the capital's arts and theatre district.

During weekly two-hour sessions in this historic building just off Leicester Square, you can take part in print and collage workshops alongside guided visits to local cultural institutions, including the National Portrait Gallery and the Wallace Collection.

Our Arts and Heritage course for adults will run every Tuesday 11am to 1pm (for six weeks).

Join London Bubble Theatre for this fun theatre and creative writing workshop for 11-14-year-olds.

Bring your ideas and creativity, and together, we will create a performance about the things that matter most to you.

The event of the year, the annual Sir Simon Milton Foundation Tea Dance, will take place on Sunday 1st December in the iconic Great Room at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane.

Always a popular event, the Tea Dance is a splendid occasion full of dancing, afternoon tea, good company and entertainment.

There will be live music from Tea Dance favourites, the Red Stripe Band, a full afternoon tea courtesy of Grosvenor House and performances form local performers.

The event is for Westminster residents only, aged 65 and over. People who haven’t who haven’t been before or those coming on their own are particularly welcome - there are plenty of solo guests and it is a chance to meet new people and dance with our volunteer Police Cadets.
