Working with the some of the biggest and brightest thinkers in the world today, The School of Life markets itself as “an apothecary of the mind”. Given that Londoners are increasingly on the look-out to be challenged by slick purveyors of thought-provoking courses, its cute Bloomsbury medicine is just the ticket. In a neat little terraced house of a venue, it gives you witty and practical insights from a carte du jour of neat titles including ‘ How to make love last’, ‘Kinky Sex’, ‘Wonder’ and ‘Play’. On Sundays its regular Sermon is delivered by a whole menagerie of thinkers and do-ers including Hussein Chalayan, Allegra McEvedy and Alain de Botton. Tea and cake and a sing-song provided. / Maeve Hosea
