London, a city whose history dates back to over 2000 years, is now one of the most significant cultural and financial capitals in the world. It all started back In 1908 with the Fourth Modern Olympic games were hosted and indeed the British team dominated the medal count. It was also the prestigious venue to the 1944 and 1948 Olympics and now after 64 long years London once again holds the honour to host the Olympics in 2012.
London is getting ready big time and you only need to see it to believe it. One of the major developments concerning this is the construction of new venues and putting that plan into action is the regeneration of Stratford, historically Stratford Langthorne, in Eastern London and converting it into a major location for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Event366 has made sure that London is just the place for you. From fine arts to paintings,museums to unique sights and sounds, you have them all. So we have combined the likes of London Art Events as you would find a rare combination of embroidered Textiles and award-winning furniture and architectural projects on one hand and London Exhibitions on the other where The Insect Circus Museum, the Luxury World Exhibition and the Business Startup exhibition amongst others would demand attention.
You must be aware of the fact that London was always famous for its set of cuisine and restaurants but in the last five off years there have been significant introductions to the pre existing lot of cuisines. London is now home to delicacies all across the globe and keeping that in mind we have organized just the right kind of events organized for. We have organized for London social events,where you get to taste over different wine samples listen to Greek music and they also serve a wonderful platform to expand your market, maximize your profits, strengthen business relations in a relaxed atmosphere because there are also London Networking Events running in tandem. Speaking of cuisines, Brick Lane in East London is quite famous for its curry restaurants. You get Indian and Bangladeshi Restaurants at bay. No wonder that nation’s favourite dish is not fish or chips but chicken tikka masala.
Greenwich, a district in South-east London, is not only famous for its maritime history and giving its name to Greenwich Mean Time but also for its quality of buildings of historic and architectural interest. It has both Georgian as well as the Victorian styles of architecture.
East London is also hub to quite a number of Observatories, the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, being the most famous amongst them. Also noteworthy is the fact that East London has a considerable number of parks like the Lee Valley Park.
So keeping all these at the back of our mind we have listed a variety of events ranging from Social, Networking, Charity and Entrepreneur events on one hand to Music and Art Events and even Fashion Shows. So be it the National Gallery or the Gherkin, the world famous skyscraper, London is definitely the place you need to be in. So what are you waiting for? See you in London!

Finding the baby stroller that fits your needs isn’t always the easiest, there are so many features a baby stroller can have that it can be totally confusing in the end. In this stroller review I will tell you about one of them, the Bugaboo stroller. This doesn’t mean that, there are many good ones out there, but I personally have such a good experience of the bugaboo, that I’m going to tell about what it’s about.
The stroller should meet the safety standards and have been tested by independent test institutes. Then you might think of is design. Nowadays strollers are a fashion statement; that might be an important thing for you, or it might not. Maybe you want a stroller with a carrycot that can be taken off so that the baby stroller can grow with the baby. Then you don’t have to buy another one as the baby gets bigger.
What can be noticed is that the designers sure are parents themselves, and that they have added features to it that they have missed on their own strollers. There are some really smart things that has never been seen on a normal baby stroller before. One is that you can move the seat or carrycot vertically; this means that you can set the seat in table-high position; very good if you are outside and wants to sit down to feed or communicate with your baby. Or your toddler can participate sitting with you at the table.
And this is a feature I like: It’s also reversible from front to sideways to back, so when the baby gets bigger and want to look at other things than old mom and dad, you can then just turn the seat around in one easy grip.
The Bugaboo stroller is said to be easy maneuvered just about everywhere. So we tried; and yes, since it’s light weight and the swivel like wheel makes it really easy to turn and walk with in an busy environment, it was. We took it on the subway through the city in a horrible rush hour, and later on to the beach. It was peace of cake; especially the beach part impressed, we didn’t struggle hard at all to move it around in the sand.
The seat frame is longer than in standard baby strollers, so will fit a longer baby and taller child.
.
The Carrycot is approved for use for overnight sleeping, good if you are on a trip, and the seat can be used as a baby bouncer seat on the floor as well.
The handle bar is height adjustable, so anyone who walks with it can adjust it for the most comfortable height.
So what about the price? Well, it can be a bit of a chock at first ( 900 $), but one have to think about that this is really an investment, you will not need another stroller for as long as you have a toddler in you house, since this stroller “grows” with the baby.

We’d all love to spend weeks and weeks exploring an exotic city, but sadly most families only have a week or two a year when they can go on holiday together. Hong Kong is an ideal city to visit in a short period of time with your family, as there are lots of sights to keep you all busy.
The first stop should be the magnificent views you can see from the Star Ferry, originally the only way to cross from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon. It is an incredibly cheap and fun thing to do for the whole family and, if you get the chance, try to take the ferry in both the day and evening as both views of the city skyline are spectacular.
To get a different perspective on Hong Kong head to the top of Mount Victoria. Mount Victoria is the imposing mountain on Hong Kong Island, and luckily there is a tram to take you to what is locally known as ‘the peak’. The tourist trade is big up there, so keep your little ones away from the souvenir shops if you can. Also, take a packed lunch as most eateries are expensive.
There are some nice walks on the peak as well, although they can be extensive. It is best to walk for some distance and then turn around, or you’ll find yourself being inundated by complaints from your kids. The walks are all paved so they are perfect for pushchairs.
Once you descend from the heights of the peak, the kids can let off some steam in Hong Kong Park. One of the entrances is just across the road from the base station of the tram. Hong Kong Park is the perfect place for a game of chase and to explore while mum and dad have a quiet stroll. One of the highlights for most kids is the fountain you can play in. This is especially popular in the heat of summer when children feel the need to get wet head to toe. So a good tip, if you are heading to Hong Kong Park, would be to pack a change of clothes for your wee ones.
Another highlight of Hong Kong Park are the innumerable small ponds. Each pond is packed full of carp and, would you believe, turtles!
Getting there needn’t be a stress either. To make it easier for your kids, book your flights to Hong Kong so that it leaves in the evening. This will give them a better chance of sleeping, and you a better chance of some movie watching, on the long-haul flight. As you can see, Hong Kong with your kids can be an exciting and interesting journey with lots to keep everyone entertained.
