March Super Seven

Who else is excited by the daffodils and the sight of spring on its way. March will always put a spring into my step count for that reason alone..

March signals the small beginnings of spring. London parks are already showing off with bright yellow daffodils and crocuses sprouting their colour magic. It is the perfect excuse to get out and embrace the change of season.

London is also awash this March with exciting exhibitions. A few that opened last month are worth remembering. However March brings, new art fairs, art shows, and I can’t wait to see the new Royal fashion exhibition at Kensington Palace.

I’m going to start off with one of the most exciting artists I’ve followed for a few years now, JR. The Frenchman who puts eyes and images around the world, often shinning a light on a political landscape is back in London.

3. Dress Codes at Kensington Palace. A new exhibition exploring the codes and conventions of Royals and their clothing.

These along with many more treasures I’m sure will be a highlight.
