To London- the largest metropolis in Western Europe

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

A few minutes walk from home gets me to our local station. There, I can get a fast direct train into central London in a little over an hour.

I hope to be doing this soon when Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World Exhibition opens on October 9th ’25. At the National Portrait Gallery in St Martin’s Place. ( Just round the corner from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery.

Mr Beaton was a renowned British war photographer and designer.

I will be able to see over two hundred exhibits, including sketches, costumes, personal items, letters, and photographs of the likes of Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marilyn Monroe. Plus, artists like Francis Bacon and Salvadore Dali whom highlight Beaton’s influence on fashion and design.

Excited at the prospect? Oh yes!
