Fire and damnation awaits - Apocalypse at the Tate

The Tate Gallery is currently presenting a major exhibition called Apocalypse dealing with the work of the controversial nineteenth century artist John Martin.  Dubbed the 'people's painter' because of the general popularity he evinced with his graphic biblical scenes of damnation and the final judgment, he was nevertheless dismissed by the critics of the time who found his work unpleasant and unappealing.

You may well ask:  what's new?  An artist who is popular, talented and successful, and who is pilloried by the critics is something we have seen many times before. Well, to see what all the fuss was about, The Apocalypse exhibition is running in The Tate from now until the 15 January 2012.

If you want to be surprised and to find out just how potent and dramatic art can be, this exhibition is definitely worth a visit.

Of course, it is not the only exciting event happening in the capital.  London is a big place and there is always plenty of drama to be found.  I mention this because you can go in search of your particular fix with our newly available discounts for London hotels.  These latest promotions can help take the sting out of the expensive cost of a stay in London, and so give you the chance to see and do what you want in the city with the knowledge that you have saved a little on your hotel or apartment costs.

The Hitlon London Heathrow Airport




It's oh so nice to go trav'ling. But it's so much nicer to come home”

That's how the song goes, and exactly how I felt when I flew into Heathrow the other day after a week in Paris. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed Paris - very much - but with all of its charm, home is where the heart lies, and London is home for me.

So Heathrow, with which we all can have a bit of a love-hate relationship depending on the mood, can be a positive beacon of light and welcoming warmth on certain occasions. And this was one of them. I was just glad to be back.

But back in Heathrow didn't mean a straight rush home. In fact, I needed to hang around for some little time for a scheduled rendezvous with a fellow colleague who was due to travel out later in the day. So encumbered with my baggage - not really, I traveled light - I hared it over to the Hilton London Heathrow Airport to catch my friend as early as I could, and hopefully leave as early as possible when business was concluded.

Well, nothing goes to plan. My colleague hadn't arrived yet, or was I early perhaps. Anyway, the upshot was I had to hang around for a bit. This wasn't such a bad thing as it turned out. The Hilton here in Heathrow is quite a pleasant place to while away some time. There is nothing fussy or mock pretentious that will jar with the notion to have some relaxing moments in a welcoming atmosphere - one that seems to be a world away from the bruising bustle of an airport terminal. Yet, in truth, it is not a world away. If you needed convenience to the terminals at Heathrow, you couldn't be more conveniently placed.

And the food - and the drink. Did I mention that there are three fine restaurants to choose from, each of them excellent. Well one is good enough for me, and so it was Oscar's that did the needful in the shape of a truly delicious Italian style pasta dish. The wine was a necessary and exquisite touch.

Sometimes airport hotels can be a little soulless, but here in the Hilton Heathrow they seem to have got things just right. Not only is the place packed with services and facilities, it's got that uplifting ambiance that keeps your spirits alight when they might otherwise sag with boredom. Let's face it - waiting around can do that to you, even in the best of settings. But not here in the Hilton, I think.

Really, I'm not going to be too disappointed if I am caught in similar circumstances in the future. Latecomers can be a their ease, I thought, as I savoured the last fork-full of creamy pasta. I am in no rush.

Yes. I think that I will be quite content if again I am put through the 'inconvenience' of a delay in Heathrow. I will know that I can leisurely bide my time at a good hotel while I wait for things to get back on track - and that could be the Hilton or, indeed, Jurys Inn Heathrow Airport which is another excellent airport hotel.

I know that delays are all part of the discomfort of air travel, but sometimes you've just got to embrace the pain.  And in my experience that's best done in the comfort of a good hotel where you can take succour with a hearty meal and a consoling drink.

Finally, here are the latest discounts for hotels at Heathrow Airport.
