Today in London: Tuesday 26 February 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 19 February 2013
Once upon a single day in late-Feb, London’s cultural attractions cache featured a Chuckle-able gala, a pair of comics live-taping LPs for posterity, a brave new play, and a chock-a-block Soho live night. And they all transpired culturally ever after. The end.
It’s Tell A Fairy Tale Day, by the way, and this is that list of ‘cultural attractions’ TW London was just alluding to…
