North West London
Packed with London landmarks like Hampstead Heath, Lord’s Cricket Ground and Abbey Road Studios, this locality has been a hot-bed for creative talent down the years. Hampstead Heath inspired people such as Keats and Constable, Abbey Road is synonymous with the Beatles, and it was in St. John’s Wood that an unsuspecting public first came face-to-face with the work of Damien Hirst.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
