The Annual Exhibition gives The Royal Photographic Society the opportunity to showcase just a small selection of the work of London Region members. Images represent many genres and styles – from travel to contemporary, from portraiture to street – and much more.

Annie’s Yoga in Highgate @ Highgate United Reformed Church
Feb 8 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

The class is suitable for beginners and is friendly and inclusive. Style is Hatha yoga with various influences – gentle, but still delivering strength and flexibility.   Come and try a class to enhance your sense of wellbeing, release stress and tension and to experience deep relaxation. Mats provided, free parking (for now, but check signs!) no need to book – just turn up. The class is in the beautiful church – it’s set back a bit and has big blue doors. The class is mixed level/mixed ability/mixed age. I am a registered BWY teacher and fully insured. For more info about me/my yoga, have a look at my website 

HLSI Members’ Art Exhibition @ Highgate Gallery
Feb 8 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

     Many members of the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution are creatively talented with the membership including both professional artists and gifted amateurs.  The Members’ Art Exhibition, held every three years at Highgate Gallery, celebrates and displays this breadth of talent.

All HLSI members can submit up to three pieces of two-dimensional work, be it oils, watercolours, acrylics, textiles, prints or photographs.  Selection for exhibition is made by a panel consisting this year of Simon Turner, artist and teacher at Haberdashers’ Girls’ School; Mary Shurman, doyenne of Members’ Art shows for the past twenty years; and several members of the Highgate Gallery Committee. The aim is to show the range of expertise and the highest quality of work produced by members.

The event is always popular with exhibitors and Gallery visitors alike, and is a much anticipated date in the HLSI winter programme as well as the wider social life in Highgate village.  One of the exhibiting artists will be in the Gallery each day throughout the show to welcome visitors, assist with queries and introduce the work on show.

Metamorphosis by Hazel Florez @ Lauderdale House
Feb 9 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

‘Metamorphosis’ is a collection of fantastical and surreal paintings and drawings by Hazel Florez. The theme of transition and transmutation tie together this collection of works that explore dream worlds and the symbolic realm of the subconscious.

Influenced by concepts of Jungian psychology, this exhibition invites the viewer into a world of mystical and mythological storytelling. Central to the exhibition is a series of wooden panel paintings each showing a different stage in alchemical transformation. Alchemy is the medieval forerunner of chemistry, concerned with the transmutation of matter, in particular with attempts to convert base metals into gold or find a universal elixir. However, in this exhibition alchemy is also explored in myths, psychological transformation and the reclaiming of powerful female archetypes in the form of symbols of the classical goddesses. As part of her research and creative process, for this exhibition, Florez has drawn inspiration from alchemical manuscripts at The Ritman Library Archive based in Amsterdam. She invites her viewers to step into the realms of magic and the otherworldly.

Hazel Florez (b. 1984) is a UK artist based in a London Studio in Hackney. She graduated at Edinburgh University and the Edinburgh college of Art from the MA Fine Art program in 2007. She is currently represented by Bridgeman Images. She has exhibited with a number of London art collectors and galleries including, The Holy Art, The Tub Gallery, Purslane, and The Vacant Museum.

Heritage Weekend 2022: Guided Tours @ Lauderdale House
Feb 19 @ 12:15 pm – 4:00 pm

Join local actor Sam Toocaram Toller as Sir Sydney Waterlow for a guided walk around the grounds that he gifted to the public as a ‘garden for the gardenless’.

Waterlow Park has been an escape for many people over the years; Quakers practicing religion safely away from the City of London and Church of England; Nell Gwynn nursing her newborn away from the stench of the City; victims of the Blitz finding solace away from the fire and bombs; and even the locked down Londoners of 2021 finding an idyllic spot to stretch their legs and safely see their friends and loved ones.

Actors will bring these dramatic stories to life in a forty minute guided walk around the park,  which will remind us how important natural environments for the community are, especially in one of the busiest and best cities in the world. Come and discover your new favourite green spot in London, or some new nuggets of knowledge if you’re already familiar with this park that is held dear in the hearts of so many Londoners.

• 12.15 to 12.55pm – Walk this Way with Sir Sydney Waterlow £5
• 12.30 to 5pm – heritage Fair
• 1.30 to 2.10pm – Walk this Way with Sir Sydney Waterlow £5
• 2.15 to 3.15 – first talk
• 3.20pm to 4pm – Walk this Way with Sir Sydney Waterlow £5
• 4 to 5pm – second talk

Life after Life @ Highgate Gallery
Mar 4 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Beyond the Likeness Group: Life after Life.  4-17 March 2022

Highgate Cemetery is the inspiration for thirteen artists, all trained in portraiture, who bring their own personal interpretations to paintings of some of those who are buried there.  In doing so they discover the richness and diversity of their worlds and examine their legacies.

The Group explore scenarios in which different centuries come together, presenting those with contradictory and complementary attitudes.  They investigate attitudes to sexual mores, the environment, different cultures, the individual, and even the Cemetery itself.

Those being featured include:  Eva and Walter Neurath, founders of Thames and Hudson;  Shu Pao Lim, founder of the Chinese Community Centre;  William Friese-Green, inventor of the motion picture camera;  David Edward Hughes, inventor of the microphone;  Bert Jansch, folk/jazz guitarist;  Jane Arden, film director;  Mehmet Aksoy, filmmaker;  Berenice Sydney, abstract artist;  Elizabeth Siddall, artist and muse; Malcolm McClaren, visual artist and performer;  Charles Cruft, founder of the dog show;  Claudia Jones, journalist and activist;  Philip Harben, first celebrity chef;  Ernestine Rose, suffragist, abolitionist and free thinker, and the Lost Girls of Highgate, ten residents of a home for ‘lost women’.

With a wealth of artistic talent drawn from around the world, all of whom have very different cultural approaches to death and commemoration, Life after Life is a unique look at mortality, the march of time and the inevitability of our demise, from a unique Highgate Cemetery perspective.

The Beyond the Likeness Group consists of former and current Art Academy London students who met while studying on the Contemporary Portraiture degree course.  Members – who are from four continents and have nine languages between them – are:
