On the Grid : The School of Life
"The School of Life is known for providing an insight into the simple, everyday things that generally make life more enjoyable: lighthearted books on existential topics, colourful stationery, notebooks with quotes and advices etc. Their space is located a few minutes down from Russell Square, and is easily recognisable by its big yellow sign. The people are warm and lovely and make you feel at home. The events organised there are always extremely curious (and complimented by absolutely delicious bites). The guest speakers come from various backgrounds, usually having been in a position of mentorship which gave them the wisdom for which they have been invited. The crowd is ever so beautifully diverse: we met a philosophy student/biology teacher, a painter and an interior design tutor at a previous event. Check at their website for any upcoming events - it may sound like something unusual but you can be sure that is will be spark some interesting ideas." - IYA Studio
