    The Swedish beauty, The Götheborg has arrived in London - a perfect replica of the original which in its day was the largest sailing wooden ship in the world. Go and see - it’s moored at Canary Wharf by Thames Quay until 12th August.

    In 1902 a French artist imagined the Women of the Future. Enjoy them... First off, reporter and lawyer.

    The Queen as a baby being carried up the steps of Balmoral Castle in 1927 at just 17 months old. At the time her grandfather King George V was on the throne. There is something incredibly poignant about this image.

    This squirrel 🐿 tap dances like Astaire & plays jazz piano, due to our rigorous training routine. He also scratches messages to us in Sanskrit and helps the cat with his algebra homework. I’m not pushy but I know he would have underachieved in the state school system.

    In the 1930s you could take the elevator to the rooftop of Selfridges on Oxford Street and enjoy their water gardens.
