I'm lovin' the stuff on at the Horniman.
Despite living in HOP for 7 years and now FH for 3.5 months, up until 10 days ago, i had only been to the Horniman twice, both times to the gardens (no jelly mould malarky to be seen!) and to look at the fabulous views.
Then my friend said 'let's go to the Aquarium at the Horniman!'
I've not had such fun since I was about 12. It was fab.
Perhaps I haven't been spoilt by the London Aquarium or some other larger 'water-based theme park' but it's on my doorstep and it's free.
What more can you want from your immediate environment?

Last weekend I noticed that one of the trees in Horniman Gardens is actually an Ent from Lord of the Rings.
I would tell you where it is but it has probably moved on by now!

The Jerk Cookout may be gone but the Horniman are planning two new exciting festivals in the gardens this summer.
http://www.horniman.ac.uk/events/worldcity.php
World City - Music Village Festival
Sun 4 July 1– 6pm
Join us for a taste of world music, food, arts and crafts and children’s activities at the Horniman’s annual festival. We have teamed up with Cultural Co-operation to bring you some of the best of what London has to offer, including Romanian gypsy swing, Andean and Afro-Cuban fusion, a high energy Zimbabwean act, Peruvian, Indian and Caribbean dance and a fresh take on flamenco. For further details visit the Horniman website or visit www.culturalco-operation.org for full details of the World City programme.
Africa Live!
Sun 8 August 1– 5pm
Come and celebrate Africa with live music, stalls and food and drink. More details to follow.

Can anyone explain why the shrubs in the Honiman gardens have been removed??
It looks absolutely dreadful.

I think they are starting construction work this winter and that will mean that the gardens are not quite so beautiful for many months. The end result will be even nicer gardens.

I hope they do improve as the decreasing number of shrubs is becoming quite a concern!
Thanks for the info.

Congrats to Ros, Gingernuts and the gang for getting the Jerk Cookout kicked out, was good fun going to Brockwell Park and having the same experience in a much larger space.
Somehow I noticed that the new events that the Horniman hosted didn't attract the same kind of people as the Jerk Cookout, mission accomplished!

Glad brockwell park suited the occasion better. The type of people Horniman events now attract are people less stressed because they can park easily or walk to the venue, rather than driving around in circles for ages looking for somewhere to park becasue the event is over subscribed.
