4 Reasons to Attend London’s Embankment Summer Market

Successfully launched in 2015, the Embankment Summer Market, part of the Northbank Summer Festival programme of events makes a return this year on Friday 15th July to Sunday 17th July. Held at the scenic Embankment Gardens on London’s Northbank between Embankment Station and the Royal Courts of Justice and Somerset House, here are four reasons to consider attending this free and unique three-day event which attracted more than 15,000 people last year:

1. Browse and shop the City Showcase Market that will bring together 190 handpicked emerging artisans, artists, fashion and jewellery designers.

2. Eat delicious food via a wide selection of street vendors (British, Thai, Italian, American, etc.) and Farmer’s Market.

3. Play games like giant Jenga and croquet with your family and friends.

4. Listen to live music and entertainment from over 50 artists, bands and musicians from across the musical spectrum.

Be prepared for a large surprise on the Thames River at Nine Elms this September. What surprise exactly? Well Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman is preparing his first UK commission. This will be semi-immersed in the Thames, and will rise and fall with the tide. Almost certainly it will be large. Very large. It is closely under wraps until 2 September, when it will be transported along the Thames, and is likely to be a talking point in the up and coming Vaxhall area. Hofman is famous for large scaled up sculptures of everyday objects. Not surprisingly his 26-metre high inflatable “Rubber Duck” has been the focus of much attention in a variety of cities, including Auckland, Sao Paolo and Osaka.

Top 10 Things To Do In Notting Hill

The neighbourhood of Notting Hill in London today is a vibrant, exuberant and colourful reflection of its heady, diverse, rich and multi-cultural past. An eclectic mix of people, places and attitudes give this affluent and fashionable area a unique vibe, combining both the bohemian and the traditional. International financial traders rub shoulders with artists, musicians and writers in the many coffee shops, bars, and restaurants or behind handsome stucco-fronted pillar-porched houses, pretty mews dwellings and of course, regular flats.
