Living in London certainly does something to you; it gets under your skin and alters the very pace at which you walk. It’s your home, but at the same time it’s a place that begs for constant discovery. As Samuel Johnson said, there is in London all that life can afford. And while each new thing you see with every day spent in this city is certain to change your life, there are some things that will click a new part of you into place, be it through excitement or enlightenment.
1. Delve – The Secret Experience Club: Psychoanalysis & Film
On 30th September, Delve are organising an evening of Psychoanalysis and Film, which draws upon the concept that a film has the potential to rewire the way we think and change the way we see the world forever. Located in an exclusive venue in Soho, they are putting on a once in a lifetime screening of Kubrick’s 1972 adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s classic dystopian novel, A Clockwork Orange. Enlighten your mind and discover things you never knew, as you immersive yourself in discussion with Delve’s psychoanalyst (whilst enjoying some wine). The experience starts at 7pm on 30th September and is £45. No previous knowledge of psychoanalysis is required – it’s all part of the learning!
Delve specialise in ‘secret experiences’ and organise curated events, which have a significant focus on the optimisation of the ‘self’. These experiences can involve anything from food and drink to art and culture.They partner up with experts, from master sommeliers to Neurologists and art directors, to deliver inspirational and thought-provoking experiences in some of London’s most aspirational and exclusive venues.

4. ArcelorMittal Orbit
If you’ve passed Stratford between now and the 25th June, you’ve no doubt heard the screams coming from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. We were extremely excited (and a bit scared) when we heard the news that the weird red architectural sculpture would become the home to the world’s longest tunnel slide – measuring 178m in length. And if you haven’t been down the twisting, turning and super fast slide (you’ll hit speeds of up to 15 miles per hour), now is your time. You’ll probably have a strange relationship with gravity for a few days following…
