Haven’t you heard about the Somerset House yet? From DHC we would like to introduce you to this huge historical building which constitutes the home of several museums, restaurants and cafés.

Located in the very heart of the British capital, just a short walk from Covent Garden and with a view to the Thames, the Somerset House has become a visual arts centre where you can enjoy music, film, fashion and literature related events.

This November, the Somerset House, offers exhibitions as interesting as Valentino: Master of Couture, which makes a journey through the life and work of the designer with more than 130 designs that have been worn by icons like Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren or Gwyneth Paltrow.

Moreover, well-known luxury brands such as Mulberry are also involved supporting the story teller Tim Walker, one of the most influential fashion photographers of our time, whose work is drawn out of magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair or The New Yorker, among many others. Tours in the heart of the centre are also organised for those who want to know all about the hidden and unknown corners of the building.

During the winter season, the Somerset also includes an ice rink with overnight performances of DJs and British artists like Joey Black, DJ Mag, Sister Bliss, Xpress2, Bad Zuke, among many others. Well-known clubs like Ministry of Sound and festivals like Ibiza Rocks also take place in this huge event.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to ice skate listening to the trendiest music next to the Thames or to discover all the events related to the visual arts to which you are more attracted.
