Can anyone help me find some thought-provoking places?

Has anyone got any tips for Thought-Provoking Places to visit in London? His face might be punchable, but I’ve always been indebted to Patrick Marber for mentioning Postman’s Park in the City in his play ‘Closer’. It’s a tiny little churchyard where an artist put up a series of plaques ...

Anyone know of a quirky London garden or park?

I’m currently pulling out my hair trying to find a gorgeous garden/woodland/park in London to shoot my short film in. I’m looking for some thing with a wild but offkey quality (tim burtonesque/wizard of ozlike). Wierdly trimmed shrubs, gnarly trees, violently colourful flowers, that sort of thing. We&...

A few issues ago LbL posted a message from someone who wanted to know if there were places where a person could turn up on their own and not feel like a spare part… Well, The FabFilm Co runs a very friendly (and slightly chaotic and shambolic at times) film club in Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace where anyone is...

I’ve never quite got around to going to the iMax cinema and was thinking about taking the girlfriend there if I can find something decent showing, but was just wondering whether it’s worth making the trip in to town when I can nip to Bluewater and sit in nice comfy chairs in the Gallery there? So has an...

Does anyone know of a small cinema (or a small auditorium at a larger cinema) that can be hired for a special occasion, to show the film of one’s choice? I’m sure I’ve heard fellow-Londoners talking about parties where a small, private screening of the birthday boy/girl’s favourite movie was ...

Met a glass artist / film maker at the weekend (Battersea-based) who mentioned that he needs someone to make it possible for all his archive films (some very cool stuff) to be stored and distributed via digital format. He’ll pay for a freelancer to do it of course and it may be a few weeks work. I think he may...

My little cousin (she lives in London, so this post is ok) is doing some A-level mocks, or mock coursework, or whatever it is A-level Media students do these days, and she’s asked me for some suggestions of kick-ass films to write her final essay on. The only criteria are that the film has to address some topi...

Apart from in work it seems to be very hard to meet new people and make friends in London. I am in a serious relationship so I’m not looking for a partner, but I only moved to London a few months ago and I’m finding it quite hard to make new friends with like-minded girls who love film, music, drinking a...

The excellent Stratford Picture House does a quiz night every so often. I’ve never been because I don’t have any friends… :-( Well, ones that want to go to Stratford, anyway. The next one is on the 29th May and, as you can see, it’s only £1 a head for non-members. It’s very close to Str...

If you’ve seen any of the Qatsi film trilogy, you’ll know the sort of thing that I m...
