You Don’t Need Another List!

You need someone to narrow it down. There are thousands of things you could do with your family. The hard part isn’t finding something. It’s deciding which thing is actually worth your time, money and effort. That’s what Huxley does. Finds. Filters. Checks. Shortlists. Answers.

What Are You Trying To Decide?

You don’t have to know exactly what you want. Ask me:

Where should we go?

What should we book?

Is it worth the money?

Which one would you choose?

We only have two hours?

What’s good for a 9 year old?

Huxley’s Shortlist

A few things I’m currently looking into, but will they make the newsletter? I’ve either been told about these, invited to attend or had it recommended by a friend. Just because it’s on my radar doesn’t mean it gets a spot on my list. Subscribe to see what makes it or not!

Hidden London – Aldwych

Wed-Sun

Surrey St, London

Step into a secret world of this ghost Tube station frozen in time – original lifts, vintage posters and Blitz shelter history. Ages 10+.

The Stag Rut

Sep-Nov

Richmond Park

Wild red stags the size of small horses roar, clash antlers and battle for dominance just metres from you. Free, primal, unforgettable.

Mail Rail at The Postal Museum

Tue-Sun

Phoenix Pl, Clerkenwell

Ride a miniature train through London’s 100-year-old secret post tunnels, hidden beneath the streets that most don’t know exists.

Things Huxley Has Actually Tried

Some recommendations come from research. Some come from people I trust. Some I’ve actually done myself. Some things are such fun, I share a little of my own experience every now and again, so you get to know the boy behind the concierge bell!

Want Huxley In Your Inbox?

Hi I am Huxley! Every newsletter contains a bespoke selection of things worth knowing about moulded around reader requests, seasonal celebrations and more. Ideas for places to go, things to do, things to watch, things to buy, already found and filtered for families who’d rather be out doing things than researching them. And if you have a question, just reply to any newsletter for the chance to be featured.

Who Is Huxley?

A kid with opinions, curiosity and a slightly obsessive habit of finding things worth doing.
