In 2015 we're addressing another popular January promise:this year I will do more culture!
Well we're always pleased to help here at The DC. This January will be dedicated to pointing London Walkers and Daily Constitutionalists in the direction of LONDON'S BEST MUSEUMS.
We've canvassed the London Walks guides, asking them to nominate their desert island museum and we'll be posting their responses throughout the month.
As usual, you are more than welcome to join in! Get in touchvia Facebook, orTwitteror viathe usual email address.
I love the smaller, more out of the way museums in London and for me a little gem is Leighton House Museum in Holland Park.
The home of Frederic, Lord Leighton it boasts magical treasures including a stunning Arab Hall, some beautiful pre-Raphaelite paintings and gorgeous ceramics.
If you want to link it to a walk, come along on the Oscar Wilde walk which I'm taking all this January. Wilde was a huge fan of the Aesthetic movement - which is wonderfully illustrated by Leighton House - and gave lectures on the subject.
