What’s On This Weekend: Prudential RideLondon, It’s a Vegan Ting & Opera In The Square
Ruby Wax: We Need To Talk About Mental Health in Westminster
The famous comedian Ruby Wax is mostly known for her career working for BBC and Channel 4 spanning 25 years as well as her multiple one-woman stand up shows. What you might not know about her is that she has also written two bestselling books about mindfulness. As a studied psychotherapist and mental health campaigner, Ruby hopes to bring a bigger focus to mental health awareness and to encourage people to get rid of the stigma about discussing it. This Friday she will be hosting her first Funzing Talk at the Emmanuel Centre and will be sharing her knowledge from her degree in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Only a short walk from our Westminster office, if you’re interested in looking at properties to rent or properties to buy in the area, feel free to drop in and hello to our team who would be happy to help.
Prudential RideLondon in Whitehall
This weekend, Prudential RideLondon will once again be taking over London and parts of Surrey for the sixth year running. Developed by the Mayor of London and his agencies in 2013, Prudential RideLondon has become the world’s largest festival of cycling with more than 100,000 cyclists taking part. There is no other closed-road event like it that combines the fun and accessible element of a free family ride in central London with also the excitement of watching the world’s best professional cyclists race in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic. London will become one large pedestrian zone for you to enjoy in this marvelous weather. Saturday is FreeCycle day where anyone can take part in cycling through London on the 8-mile traffic free circuit and fun way to spend the day with the family – but remember to drink plenty of water as it is set to be another scorcher!
It’s A Vegan Ting in Waterloo
London based events company BLAX-UK has teamed up with Shout About London to host It’s a Vegan Ting all day vegan food market on Leake Street in Waterloo this Saturday.
