Great Cities: London Alive

With October being britian's Black history month, there's even more reasons to brave the famous rainy weather.
For starters, there's the exhibition form Benin artist Julien Sinzogan, entitled Spirit Worlds, that explore what the artist describes as the "spiritual dimension" of the Atlantic slave trade. That show runs through November 6 at the aptly named October Gallery on Old Gloucester Street.

 Foodies should still be licking their lips and rubbing their tummies with the completion of London Choclate Week, a time of pure indulgence involving the country's best chocolatiers and chocolate shops holding events all over the UK. Chocolate Week was one of several major food events (there was also a Wine festival) that lured the hungry and curious to London in October.
