Celebrating The Queen's Platinum Jubilee in South Kensington
There’s lots going on across Kensington and Chelsea to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 70-year Platinum Jubilee. We have put together a round-up of some of the local events happening in and around South Kensington as well as a selection of Jubilee-related stories and souvenirs available from our member's shops.
The Piccadilly Line is reopening at South Kensington station from 1 June - just in time for the Jubilee bank holiday. Alternatively, if you are looking to visit the area exploring some of the quieter routes, Footways has recently launched a new online map.
Finally, we are delighted to welcome a new member to our partnership - Cromwell Place - a membership organisation providing a first-of-its-kind exhibition, working and event space for arts professionals.
