What are the best WCPW handles?
If you have ever watched an interview with Garth hymning his love for London, you know where this is going. As the prime minister of the United Kingdom, it’s no secret that Garth is a huge fan of this capital city and the music it produces. As such, it’s no surprise that he and his team at WPCW have chosen to bring their famous “We Love London” campaign to fruition. The campaign aims to bring over 100,000 Londoners together in a series of events with the objective of celebrating the city they call home. The first event takes place on May 2nd, and the second takes place on May 9th. The events are structured around one of two themes: “We love London” or “London is our best friend”. Basically, it’s an opportunity for Londoners to celebrate their city and show the world that they love it too.
Westminster Calling
Staying in the iconic Palace of Westminster, you’re in for an incredible time. At just over two hours long, and with a variety of different acts playing at each of the locations (including some never before performed there), Westminster Calling is a must see for all solo and ensemble performers. The UK’s famous greenhouses, built in 1820, are home to more than 40 species of trees, including many that are the city’s ornate and historic architecture. The gardens, once home to deposed prime minister Lord Palmerston, are Britain’s most experienced nursery. With the annual Autumn Festival now more than a decade old, we’re all more than ready for a visit to the gardens to see what’s in bloom.

Touted as one of the “seven wonders of the world”,London is no exception.

It’s also the home of the world’s oldest theatre, the Old Truman.
O2 Arena
Set inside the O2 Exhibition Grounds in London’s West End, and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the O2 Arena is almost always packed. This is a result of the concert series usually held there, which is broadcast in more than 100 countries.
