THE MAYOR’S LETTER
Welcome to London this May
Spring is in the air and a number of events will help you make the
most of everything in our city. The wedding of Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle will be an unforgettable celebration. If you’re here
for the royal wedding, which takes place in Windsor, make sure you
discover the capital’s royal history – Buckingham Palace, Hampton
Court Palace, the Tower of London… and that’s just for starters.
To make the most of the warm weather, head over to Kew Gardens,
where the Temperate House will reopen on 5 May after a five-year
refurbishment. For those looking for horticultural highlights, the
RHS Chelsea Flower Show begins on 22 May.
The capital’s museums and galleries open their doors for late-night
exhibitions as part of the Museums at Night festival, and it’s a great
time to take in open-air theatre, from Shakespeare’s Globe to Regent’s
Park Open Air Theatre. And football fans shouldn’t miss the women’s
(5 May) and men’s (19 May) FA Cup finals at Wembley Stadium.
However you spend your time, enjoy everything London has to offer! FIND YOUR

THE GRANDEUR OF NATURE – 6
The Church at Varengeville,
Morning Effect, 1882
‘Monet walked quite far out to sea at low tide
to paint this. The cliff fills up the middle of the
picture like a great wall and then, perched on the
top, is the little medieval church at Varengeville,
Normandy. He had to escape pretty quickly
when the tide turned! This is a wonderfully
dramatic painting from a private collection.
From this massive cliff, you get a sense of the
enormous power and grandeur of nature, then
the fragility of the church on top. You also feel
the irregularity of nature with the jagged edge
of the cliff brim, with the regular angle of the
roof and the spire at the top. Although the cliff
looks powerful, the face of it has the marks of
crumbling. Those elements fascinated Monet
and led him to paint such a magnificent picture.’

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURE

7 AND MODERNITY
Trouville Beach, 1870
‘Trouville was a recently developed tourist
resort on the Normandy beaches of northern
France – the spread of the railways made this
a fashionable destination at the time. On the
right-hand side you can see the modern villas
and hotels that had recently been constructed,
such as the Hotels de Roches Noires, with the
beach on the left. So, you get that contrast
between nature and modernity. Monet painted
these pictures from a position where the
boardwalk down the middle gives a rushing
perspective: your eye follows the boardwalk
into the distance and that sense of speed suits
the modernity of the scene.’
