VISIT OUR LOCAL FASHION STORES

LONDON Fashion Week's display of autumn-winter collections for 2008 kicked off yesterday with a typically eclectic mix of influences and inspirations.

This season’s London Fashion Week, in a tented village at the Natural History Museum, features 57 catwalk shows over six days and more than 200 ready-to-wear and accessory designers. 

Sponsored by Canon, the event is expected to attract more than 5,000 visitors, inject £20 million into the London economy and generate more than £50 million in global media coverage.

Want to contribute to fashion as an aspect of modern art and culture? Visit our local fashion stores – United Colours of Benetton, New Look, TK Maxx, Primark, River Island, Accessorise, Krisp, and M&S. 

Library Lovers' Month is a month-long celebration of libraries of all types. This is a time for everyone to recognize the value of libraries and visit the local one! We have a great library at Shepherds Bush Road, near Hammersmith underground station, opposite the police station. For more information visit this website. 


WORLD BOOK DAY
BOOK SWAP EVENT ON MARCH 6TH 

Bought a book and finished it? Don't know what to do with it? World Book Day is on Thursday 6th March 2008 and HammersmithLondon would like to promote the enjoyment of books and reading as well as reusing them in order to save incredible amounts of paper and protect the environment with a VERY easy action.

We are setting up a gazebo at Lyric Sq on Thursday from 11-2 pm.  If you have any fiction, law, psychology, children's books, or any other books in good condition, please bring them and swap for others – that’s recycling in action!

JUST A PERFECT DAY…
THE BEST WAY TO SPEND VALENTINE’S DAY IN HAMMERSMITH

Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to crank up the romance in your relationship/ marriage or if you are single - treat yourself like a king/queen. So instead of moaning about how Valentine's Day is just a corporate-fuelled concept (yeah, we know!), spend one of the best days in your life! 
 

1. Stay in bed and sleep in. Then take a nice long warm bath with L’Oreal products - the hot water will calm you down and loosen up your muscles.
2. Eat a balanced breakfast from M&S, Saisbury’s or Tesco (don’t forget to make breakfast for your beloved too).  In case you don't live together, give your beloved a good morning call (text) to wake him/her up using your fancy Sony Ericsson phone!
3. Get the tube. Take off one stop early and walk - a morning walk can get you ready for your day, lower your stress level, and improve your health! On the way to the office get a nice coffee from Pret A Manger or Starbucks.
4. While in the office do not forget to register for the HammersmithLondon Travel Event on the 28th or the FREE walk on 29th of February.
5. It is time for lunch break! Browse TK Maxx, Habitat, Primark, River Island and the other stores in the two shopping centres - treat yourself with something new!   Do not forget to buy a Valentines Day Card from Clinton Cards or Cards Galore.
6. Buy PS, I Love You by Cecelia Ahern, Harper Collins Publishing from WHSmith to get you in a romantic mood. If you have kids - get them tickets for Disney’s High School Musical at Hammersmith Apollo.
7. Go back to the office and finish your tasks quickly! Have a brief relaxing Coca-Cola break in the early afternoon.
8. It is 5 pm! If you are single - go to Virgin Active or Fitness First during the evening. There’s a good chance that nobody will be there so you won’t have to worry about any of the good equipment being used.
9. Call your single friends and see what they are doing. If your friends don’t have any plans, perhaps you all could go to William Morris or the other great pubs in the area for a few drinks. 
10.  If you are single – why not go see ‘The resistible rise of Arturo Ui’ performance at the Lyric?! 
11. Book a nice place for dinner – we recommend Smollensky’s or Bianco Nero. Make sure you book your table in advance as most places are packed on Valentines Day.  
12. Spend a romantic night at the Novotel or Holiday Inn. Going to a hotel for the night can be fabulous, especially if you have kids. Think about dinner (and breakfast) in bed and uninterrupted time alone.

£9 SEATS AT THE LYRIC
THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI
LYRIC PROMOTION 14 FEB - 15 MARCH

With a winning smile, a machine gun and an army of hoods, Arturo Ui has muscled his way into town - offering freedom and protection - at a very large price...

Bertolt Brecht's fast and brutally funny masterpiece on the rise of Hitler comes crashing into the heart of modern day Africa. Zimbabwean actor Lucian Msamati (RSC's Pericles) plays the ridiculous but terrifying hoodlum Hitler, whilst David Farr directs, following the sell-out success of his ‘must-see’ (Daily Telegraph) Metamorphosis.

'Lucian Msamati is one of the best things you'll ever see on stage.' Metro
