In this illustrated talk, Paul Wood will discuss the history of trees in London. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth century, trees were largely consigned to private gardens and the countryside, but the growth of cities and changes to how they were developed meant trees increasingly appeared in the public domain. Today, these urban trees are those that Londoners are most acquainted with, they are the trees that provide structure and beauty to our cityscapes but they are also on the frontline of disputes with landowners, developers and planning authorities.

Paul Wood has written four books about trees and urban nature:
Tree Hunting: 1,000 Trees to Find in Britain and Ireland’s Towns and Cities (Particular Books 2025), London’s Street Trees (Safe Haven 2017, 2019, 2024), London is a Forest (Quadrille 2019, 2022) and London Tree Walks (Safe Haven 2020), he is also the editor of the Great Trees of London Map (Blue Crow Media 2021).

You can find Paul on Instagram as @thestreettree, and you can follow his weekly accounts of great British and Irish trees on Substack at thestreettree.substack.com.

Tiny Girl Big Show by Leah Orleans @ Jacksons Lane
Jan 18 @ 5:00 pm – Jan 19 @ 6:00 pm

“Both the young and young-at-heart would sit on the edge of their seats delighted in awe.”

— Zubrick Theatre

 

Leah Orleans brings her hit solo show from the US to Jacksons Lane. Tiny Girl Big Show is a fast-paced blend of whip-smart comedy and high-skill circus, packed with surprises at every turn. Expect whip-cracking from the seat of a unicycle, fire juggling, and feats of strength and flexibility that defy gravity.

 

Orleans combines quick wit with fearless physicality, creating a performance that’s as playful as it is powerful. Both a celebration of independence and a showcase of serious talent, she shows that big talent can come in small packages.

Jack and the Beanstalk (Sort of) by Kid Carpet & The Noisy Animals @ Jacksons Lane
Jan 25 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Kid Carpet hates panto. The Noisy Animals absolutely love it. So guess what they’re doing? Yep. A panto. Now there’s a beanstalk in the middle of everything and nobody’s quite sure what’s going on.

 

Featuring Bear, Gorilla, Badger and Hedgehog (with possible appearances from Hedgehog’s golden eggs), this is Jack and the Beanstalk like it’s been thrown in a blender with a drum machine and dodgy celebrity lookalikes. Part air guitar workshop, part magical mess, this lo-fi, hi-tech, big-beat bonkers show is stuffed with songs, silliness and surprise grannies.

 

Bring your kids. Bring yer nan. Bring snacks. It’s theatre, but it’s loud, proud and completely off its bean(stalk).

 

Perfect for ages 3–10, families, party monsters and fans of noisy nonsense.

Follow the journey of two animal enthusiasts sharing their love of, and concern for, animals with the world.

They take in animals that need respite, care or a temporary home and have, accidentally, ended up with a whole sanctuary, but with no visitors! So everybody – animals and humans alike – have decided it is time to get out, see the world, and bring the zoo, to you. Come and meet this eclectic group of charming yet cheeky animals, as they discuss their life experiences and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. They have a lot to say and want to inspire people of all ages to take action, because they know small actions can make a big difference in the world. Featuring puppetry, live music and playful characters, Scarlet Oak Theatre welcomes you to join the conversation about animal conservation.

Hearing Her Voice – Women Musicians in Vienna 1900 @ Lauderdale House
Feb 1 @ 3:00 pm – 4:45 pm

Vienna in the early 1900s was a fascinating place, full of artistic and intellectual experiments and innovations. Figures like Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schoenberg and Gustav Klimt are still remembered and discussed more than a century later. But there were also many creative and extraordinary women working alongside them, whose names were forgotten until very recently. This lecture-recital combines music and words to recreate the lives and works of some of these women, whose voices are beginning to be heard again. And they are well worth hearing.

Joan Hodes: Paintings, Drawings and Prints @ Highgate Gallery
Feb 6 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

This exhibition is a celebration of the life and work of the painter, Joan Hodes. Born in Hampstead

in 1925, Joan studied first at the Slade School of Art, then Academy Julien in Paris and subsequently

as a pupil of Oskar Kokoschka, forging an art shaped by expressionism and a direct response to nature.

The exhibition at Highgate Gallery presents a range of her work to include oils as well as drawings,

pastels, and prints. It will allow visitors to see the development of her work from sketch through to

completed canvases and fully resolved watercolours. In addition, they will be able to view a variety

of her prints, including lino, etchings and dry points which show how even when working within a small

scale, through colour and line, she was able to create powerful and expressive images. For Joan, the

landscape with its changing weather and light, drawn from regular trips to Scotland, Wales, Ireland,

France, Italy and most recently Suffolk, was a re-occurring theme and the site for an immediate and

subjective response, full of energy and even rebellion.

Joan moved to Camden Town in the late eighties and subsequently to Hampstead where she lived for

over 30 years until her death in 2022. She regularly contributed to exhibitions at, amongst others,

the Mercury Gallery, Leicester Gallery, Ben Uri Gallery and the Royal Academy.

Joan Hodes, Paintings, Drawings and Prints. Highgate Gallery 6 – 19 Feb

At a time when the work of women artists is being reassessed, an exhibition of Joan’s work is both

timely and important. There is a growing interest in her work which is already represented in numerous

private and public collections, including the British Museum, V&A and UCL Art Museum.  Her archive is

held at the Women’s Art Library, Goldsmiths, University of London.
