What to experience and enjoy in NovemberNurPhoto

There are two things that are inevitable the moment it’s November – the nights are significantly darker, and the countdown to Christmas is well underway.

Festivities start to pick up in the capital and beyond this month; beginning with Diwali and Bonfire Night in the earlier half of November, prepare for numerous festive activities slowly unwrapping as the weeks passe by, including Christmas lights being switched on and the unveiling of some of the London's most iconic Christmas trees.

But if you’re still feeling a bit ‘bah, humbug!’ about getting into the festive spirit so early (some of the more Scrooge-esque amongst us may be holding out until December before we really start preparing for the 25th) there’s still plenty going on away from the Christmas countdown – some of the year’s most hotly anticipated art exhibitions and cinematic blockbusters are opening this month.

Here's a taste of exciting offerings this November to book into your diaries.
