  anyone presently in london with little to do?  i am am half looking for something lest i end up doing nothing all day.

If orchestras / classical music is your thing, you could go to the BBC Proms this evening at the stunning Royal Albert Hall (approx. 10 mins. from South Kensington tube station) for some Schubert and Mozart performed by Maria Joao Pires (pianist), Bernard Haitink (conductor) and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe! Day promming tickets (you'll have to queue about an hour before the concert starts) cost only a fiver. Here's a link to the event with more details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e93zc8 I'd love to go but I'll only be in London tomorrow.

Those CanJam tickets can't be used with Apple PassBook I guess?

The EventBrite app can indeed put them into Passbook for you.  And if you have a Watch they can come up there as well as on your phone.

If you don't like to queue there will be prom tickets which have been returned by people who are unable to attend . You have to go to the ticket office to buy them and it costs approx £30-£40. Last year I managed to get returned tickets for the last night of the proms so there should always be some seats left. Hopefully it won't be in the nosebleed section! I also remembered that if you wanted the balcony seats its about £60-70 if anybody returned their tickets.

Download the yplan or dice app for your smartphone. There's is always something to do in London. :)

What time in the afternoon would be best to drop by and say hello at the hotel?

We bumped into Gordon Ramsey at Heathrow yesterday. Even he coudn't resist trying the HE1000's!

That is awesome!


Unfortunately not a cats chance.

That is not! Why? At a premier event which Sennheiser are sponsoring???

Ah i wont make it, what a pity. Ill be at this instead www.nch.ie/Online/Bergen-Philharmonic-Orchestra-28Aug15 , Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra playing Mendelssohn, Svendsen and the Rite of Spring by Stravinsky with Alina Ibragimova on violin. A close second seeing as i couldnt make it to London.

because there is an ongoing promotion on the cards from how I interpreted last nights partial unveil, to gain Sennheiser maximum public exposure... More will be revealed in the coming days (even to those that attended)...
