  • Preventing Prediabetes: Learn how eating well can prevent prediabetes from developing and turning into Type 2 diabetes and learn how to help manage blood sugar for better long-term health. Thursday 4th September 2025 at 2:00-3:30 pM. St Mary Abbots Centre. How can you prevent Type 2 diabetes — or stop prediabetes from progressing? What exactly is Type 2 diabetes, and how is it related to prediabetes or higher blood sugar levels? More importantly, what steps can you take to prevent it — and what should you eat to support healthy blood sugar levels? In this talk, Caroline Walker will share her personal journey of putting her Type 2 diabetes into remission 14 years ago through a lower-carb, real-food diet. Caroline will explain what causes Type 2 diabetes, how diet plays a vital role in both prevention and management, and offer her top tips for making lasting dietary changes that support better blood sugar control. Caroline is an Ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration, a UK charity focused on improving public health through evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition advice. She is also a qualified Nutrition and Health Coach and a member of the UK and International Health Coaches Association.

  • Discovering Theatrical London.  Join us for a spellbinding journey exploring London theatre’s rich history—from Shakespeare to Fringe, riots to divas—in this lively, illustrated journey through time. Thursday 24th July 2025 at 2pm. St Mary Abbots Centre. Join us for a spellbinding journey as we explore the bustling streets of the Strand and the character-filled corners of Covent Garden, (once the convent gardens of Westminster Abbey in the Middle Ages) you’ll uncover tales both grand and grisly.  Discover how the site of a fiery riot during the Peasants’ Revolt transformed into one of London’s most prestigious hotels. Dive into the intriguing — and at times shadowy — history of Covent Garden. Marvel at the story of human remains found in Benjamin Franklin’s London residence and the tragic end of Chunee the elephant, once a star attraction.  Our guide on this historical adventure is Peter Whitehead, a master storyteller who brings the past vividly to life. With over 40 years in the Civil Service and now a dedicated volunteer at cultural treasures like the Charles Dickens Museum, The Royal Academy, and The Guards Museum, Peter promises an unforgettable experience.
