Halloween. There will be a replication of the successful event of 2022 when 800 trail maps
had been given out and some shops had run out of sweets. The stall will be set up outside 10A and inside if it is raining.
Laura Murphy returns to Jacksons Lane with her critical and cheeky signature mix of autobiography, lip-sync, video and aerial rope. Her new show is a bold, cinematic, acrobatic odyssey through the frontiers of mental health, queerness, rage and the 21st Century space race.
The Highgate Watercolour Group look forward to welcoming their visitors, both local and from further afield, and take great pleasure in presenting their work in this beautiful historic house.
This year they will have the cream of their output on display, beautifully framed and reasonably priced. Nearly all members are represented, so there is great variety and hopefully something for everyone.
In August, the Highgate Watercolour Group painting activities moved out of 10A South Grove, where they usually work, enabling them to exploit the city more widely. Look out for paintings of Omved Gardens in Highgate, views of Hampstead and the Heath, as well as other north London hotspots. And of course one of their favourite venues is Waterlow Park and Lauderdale House itself.
Everyone is welcome to the private view on Wednesday 11th October from 7.30 pm to 9.30pm – come meet the artists and see the work first!
The gallery is generally open:
- Monday – Tuesday : 12pm to 4pm

Marianne Fox Ockinga: Kings Cross – All Change
Recording the current upheaval in the landscape round the two great Victorian railway terminals of King’s Cross and St Pancras in relief prints, etchings, paintings, and drawings. A revolution in human and architectural affairs. This exhibition focuses on the huge changes in the area brilliantly depicted by Dickens in his novel ‘Dombey and Sons’ and frequented by the young Thomas Hardy.
Marianne has worked in the area for more than four decades. She has sketched and painted in the field, setting up her easel in notorious locations such as Goodsway and Coal Drop Yard, beside the Granary Square campus of the University of the Arts.
“These works are from the year 2000, when the area round St Pancras changed dramatically. It had become a gloomy and derelict place, as many of the old red brick Victorian buildings crumbled or were eradicated by the developers’ wrecking ball. I first saw and recorded this when, some years before, I was invited into the now demolished Culross Building to draw and paint. From the roof, I could clearly see the outline of Highgate in the distance.”
Recovering from a serious illness, in 2001 Marianne felt reinvigorated and eager to get down to work again at St Pancras. The first shock was to see cranes behind a scaffold of hoardings starting to yank out the Victorian gasholders. Marianne wanted to record what was happening quickly, knowing time was not on her side. Often, she went out at night, using the canal towpath, especially sinister in the shadows now that the familiar public lighting had been removed. By working regularly on site, local businesses got to know her work, and became supportive. Several exhibitions, presentations and shows in public and commercial venues ensued. These began with ‘Transition July 2002’ at the CTRL Visitor Centre at St Pancras. She held shows in a range of venues in the UK and Netherlands.
Marianne was born in the Netherlands but began her art education at the Bath Academy of Art in 1960. She completed her training at the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, returning to settle in the UK in 1971. Marianne has always favoured working in the open air, drawing and painting from observation. Until 2000 she focused on landscapes across Europe, in the Netherlands and Italy especially. She also has taken portrait commissions. Since 1971 printmaking became the main focus of her work, especially after acquiring a large Columbian press.
In London Marianne has also worked at large sites in transformation, undertaken by invitation and commission, such as the Olympic Park for the 2012 Games and the Arsenal Emirates complex. She was also witness to the decommissioning and conversion of the elegant art deco Arsenal Highbury Stadium complex, recording in a variety of media. Her work is in collections both public and private, among them the Victoria and Albert Museum. She is a brother member of the Art Workers Guild.

Marianne has always favoured working in the open air, drawing and painting from observation. Until 2000 she focused on landscapes across Europe, in the Netherlands and Italy especially. She also has taken portrait commissions. Since 1971 printmaking became the main focus of her work, especially after acquiring a large Columbian press.
In London Marianne has also worked at large sites in transformation, undertaken by invitation and commission, such as the Olympic Park for the 2012 Games and the Arsenal Emirates complex. She was also witness to the decommissioning and conversion of the elegant art deco Arsenal Highbury Stadium complex, recording in a variety of media. Her work is in collections both public and private, among them the Victoria and Albert Museum. She is a brother member of the Art Workers Guild.

Come and join our Musical Theatre Choir! A fun, low pressured choir focusing on songs from musicals, and older pop songs. We rehearse on Thursday evenings, 8-9.30pm at Jackson’s Lane, opposite Highgate tube station.
Throughout the year, we will cover repertoire from Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, to Les Mis, to Sondheim, to West Side Story, to Wicked, and everything in between. Older pop songs will include songs by the Carpenters, the Beatles, and many more. This term, we will also be looking at some Christmas songs.
Any standard welcome, and no need to read music as the songs will be taught line by line. The choir is run by Rachel Dussek, a singer, singing teacher, and choir leader who trained in classical singing and then in musical theatre at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. Please get in touch by email or phone to book a taster session.

Marianne Fox Ockinga: Kings Cross – All Change
Recording the current upheaval in the landscape round the two great Victorian railway terminals of King’s Cross and St Pancras in relief prints, etchings, paintings, and drawings. A revolution in human and architectural affairs. This exhibition focuses on the huge changes in the area brilliantly depicted by Dickens in his novel ‘Dombey and Sons’ and frequented by the young Thomas Hardy.
Marianne has worked in the area for more than four decades. She has sketched and painted in the field, setting up her easel in notorious locations such as Goodsway and Coal Drop Yard, beside the Granary Square campus of the University of the Arts.
“These works are from the year 2000, when the area round St Pancras changed dramatically. It had become a gloomy and derelict place, as many of the old red brick Victorian buildings crumbled or were eradicated by the developers’ wrecking ball. I first saw and recorded this when, some years before, I was invited into the now demolished Culross Building to draw and paint. From the roof, I could clearly see the outline of Highgate in the distance.”
Recovering from a serious illness, in 2001 Marianne felt reinvigorated and eager to get down to work again at St Pancras. The first shock was to see cranes behind a scaffold of hoardings starting to yank out the Victorian gasholders. Marianne wanted to record what was happening quickly, knowing time was not on her side. Often, she went out at night, using the canal towpath, especially sinister in the shadows now that the familiar public lighting had been removed. By working regularly on site, local businesses got to know her work, and became supportive. Several exhibitions, presentations and shows in public and commercial venues ensued. These began with ‘Transition July 2002’ at the CTRL Visitor Centre at St Pancras. She held shows in a range of venues in the UK and Netherlands.
Marianne was born in the Netherlands but began her art education at the Bath Academy of Art in 1960. She completed her training at the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, returning to settle in the UK in 1971.
