Witness For the Prosecution Review - London County Hall
As a big fan of live theatre, I was very excited to receive an invite to watch my very first Agatha Christie play: Witness for the Prosecution.
Originally published as a short story named Traitor's Hands, Witness for the Prosecution was later adapted into a play by Christie herself. The County Hall based show is now running into its seventh year, having received high praise from critics and theatregoers alike.

I’m always on the lookout for new literary themed activities, so when I heard that Marriott were hosting a Roald Dahl themed afternoon tea, I knew that I had to give it a try.
Based on Roald Dahl’s book The Twits, this afternoon tea takes place in Marriott’s London County Hall hotel, which is right next to the London Eye and London’s South Bank.
The Paddington Bear Experience Review - Is It Worth Going?

Located in central London’s South Bank, The Paddington Bear Experience combines immersive theatre with interactive elements, set in the world of Paddington Bear.
Welcome to the Viking Skaga - one of Viking Cruises’ noble river ships. She takes her name from an ancient Norse myth, where the Valkyrie Skaga rode into battle and escorted the dead to Valhalla, before preparing them to fight in the epic battle of Ragnarok.
A relatively new ship, the Viking Skaga only entered the fleet in 2020. At just 410 feet and carrying 168 guests and 48 crew, she was built specifically to sail down the Seine in France, although the specific itinerary will vary depending on the time of year. I was fortunate enough to join the ship for her week long Christmas on the Seine cruise, which starts and ends in Paris, calling at Vernon, Caudebec-en-Caux, Rouen, Honflour (via an excursion) and Les Andelys along the way.
