Last week Ms Rodger did an assembly on the importance of Creativity for our studies and in our lives. Creativity doesn’t just come from talent—it grows from experiences. The more you see, hear, and do, the more ideas you have to draw from.
Living in London gives you a huge advantage because the city is full of opportunities to explore—many of them completely free. When you step outside of your usual routine, your brain is forced to adapt, observe, and think differently.
Here are some places you could visit:
Kings Cross. A short train ride away with loads of things to do including a free outdoor cinema in the summer and fountains to play in. https://www.kingscross.co.uk/see-and-do
Diana memorial fountain in Hyde Park. https://www.royalparks.org.uk/visit/parks/hyde-park/diana-memorial-fountain
Visit markets: Camden Market, Borough Market, and Portobello Road Market are full of unique sights, sounds, and cultures. Exploring them can expose you to new influences and perspectives.
Sky Garden: Sky Garden is located on the 43rd floor of the Walkie Talkie, 20 Fenchurch Street, in the City of London. The exact address is 1 Sky Garden Walk, London EC3M 8AF. It is free, but you have to book tickets in advance.
