    Heat it up & Cool it down!

    Here are a couple of places to check out in this summer heat wave of London, from a cool ice bar to sunbathing by an open air lido swimming pool!

    ICE BAR LONDON

    A trendy place to check out for the coolest drink in town (literally!) and chill in some icey chairs…as they say it so well:

    ‘Step into ICEBAR LONDON, a cold sensory environment where the walls, bar, tables and even your own personal glass are made from crystal clear Torne River ice which is harvested from the pristine winter wonderland of Jukkasjärvi in Northern Sweden.’

    However, this is no stroll in bar like a big Yeti, you have to book in advanced to get the real experience! Find out more information online:

    www.icebarlondon.com

    FRANKS BAR

    Get the best view of Central London from south of the river at this trendy rooftop bar in Peckham. Ontop of a 10 storey car park, grab a few decent cocktails and watch the sun set with a nice breeze in the air on a summers evening. What more could you want from London so high?

    Open from Tuesday – Sunday’s 5pm – 11 pm

    More information on how to get there on their website: www.frankscafe.org.uk

    Hampstead Heath Ponds

    Time to heat it up with some lovely sun bathing on the heath of Hampstead, (and cool it down with a dip in the ponds!). They have Male, Female and Mixed Ponds to enjoy a summers day out, take a pic-nic and watch people splashing around – it’s just like the famous Georges-Pierre Seurat‘ painting of Bathers at Asnieres but the London version! Male and Female ponds are open 7.30-8pm and Mixed is 7.30 – 6pm and only £2 entry!

    Brockwell Lido

    ‘Brockwell Lido, nestled in the corner of Brockwell Park, is a much-loved local landmark. It’s been at the heart of the local community since 1937 and is now an Grade II listed Art Deco building.’

    Why not bathe and dip into this beautiful old school Lido swimming pool from the 1930’s? An intimate pooling experience with a busy lively atmosphere in summer and great ice lollies from the cafe! but make sure to get down early it can fill out quite fast.

    Prices are at £6 entry and timings are Mon-Fri 6.30 – 8pm and Sat/Sun 8am-6pm

    • At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas. The process was great fun and everyone on the course was really friendly and bounced off on each other’s skills and ideas. It was a pleasure to be there!

    • Thanks to this course, I began to understand the value of practising and honing your craft. It is important to know how to build a project from the ground up, with time and perseverance, but it is also important to back up your ideas with practiced skill.

    • I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Architecture. After failing my first year I began to attend one-to-one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto second year!

    • London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia…

    • At first I was uncertain of my own abilities and I lacked confidence. That is why I decided to seek the expertise of Julia at London Art Portfolio. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and starting from our first one-to-one tutorial I began to develop my drawing skills. She made sure that throughout our time together we explored different mediums, techniques and approaches.

    • ..London Art Portfolio, and Julia in particular, gave me creative guidance and help throughout the course to make sure I achieved and produced work, not only I, myself was pleased with, but work that would get me accepted to the schools I applied to…
