This is the first Veggie Pret branch in this area of central London. The shop was formerly an EAT shop, and the public space has shrunk massively since it has been rebranded as Veggie Pret. It feels tiny and cramped. If there are more than about five customers in the shop, it can feel very crowded. There is not much space for eating in either.
It is nice to have more shops that sell an increased selection of vegetarian food.

The normal price for this exhibition is £20. It is quite a large exhibition with a lot of items relating to the kingdom and legend of Troy. It also looks at how art, films and literature have been influenced by Troy.

This free exhibition is very small but includes original manuscripts and illustrations from authors such as Charlotte Bronte and Jacqueline Wilson.

In this comedy, a baby in an orphanage crawls into Santa’s sack and is taken to the North Pole. There he is called Buddy brought u with the elves and believes himself to be an elf (albeit an incredibly tall one). When he grows up he is told the truth that his father is still alive – but is on the naughty list BUddy ventures to New York to find him. He experiences lots of new things when he is there and gets a job working at a department store in the run-up to Christmas.

In this latest instalment of the Nativity comedy/musical series, St Bernadettes enters a rock singing competition. It doesn’t have Mr Poppy but does have a long lost releative who is quite similar, and a refugee child who has become separated from his father.

This is a free exhibition in a large corridor connecting the various galleries. It has class photos of lots of Year 3 school children. Due to the volume of photos, it is quite hard to see them as some are very high up.
5/10
This is a very odd exhibition. The normal entry cost is £13 and it consists of a large dark room with a mock-up of a road bridge and random clips being played on the walls.

This is an external installation at the Tate Britain for the Christmas 2019 season and is free of charge. It is both an audio and visual experience with loud weather sounds at the main entrance.

This is a strange free temporary exhibition exploring the links between art and science.

This newly opened gallery explores science developments from the London area from 1550 – 1800. Iy includes items related to discoveries made during this time, but doesn;t have much detail.
