Two Major Attractions in Windsor You Need to Visit

By
Legoland Windsor miniature

This time we are about to head for Windsor as a quick trip from London, since it is less than an hour away from London. Windsor has a lot to offer for visitors, and among many attractions I am going to share my visits to Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor with some useful tips. Each attraction can take almost a whole day, so if you plan to visit both you will need to stay a night in Windsor. How to Go to Windsor from London There are two train stations where you can get off in Windsor: Windsor & Eton Central and Windsor & Eton Riverside. The train options from London take between 30 – 55 minutes, depending on which station you choose. 1. London Paddington – Windsor & Eton Central Takes between 26 – 39 minutesNeeds one transfer in Slough 2. London Waterloo – Windsor & Eton Riverside Takes 54…

Take Your Pick of the Cotswolds

By
Bibury Cotswolds trip from London - Sehee in the World

You might have heard of the ‘Cotswolds’ when it comes to holidays in the UK. The Cotswolds indicates a region in south central England that has the Cotswolds hills. Its landscape is so beautiful that it is an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). As the map below shows it spans across 6 counties in England: Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. If you were keen to see the cute, little countryside in England and encountered the Cotswolds, what you need to do now is to decide where in the Cotswolds. Although I haven’t managed to visit every place, I would like to introduce some of those I have been to. Hopefully the following list tempts you to pick destinations of the Cotswolds! P.S. I am going to continuously add when I get to visit more of them – stay tuned! The Cotswolds is made up of lots of places of different sizes…

Where to Celebrate Harry Potter’s 20th Anniversary in 2017

By
Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio

If you claim to be a fan of the Harry Potter series, the United Kingdom should be your destination of the year for 2017. This is because you will encounter a lot of Harry Potter-related events in the UK, celebratingย the 20th anniversaryย of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone!ย I searchedย someย events which I want to attend, andย here they are – calling every Harry Potter fan! ๐Ÿ™‚ Warner Bros. Studio (Imageย from pixabay.com) Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter should be a Must-Go place for many Harry Potter movie fans. Compared to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter from Universal Studios, this attraction has more focus on the process of film production. With that, itsย special exhibitions for this year also introduce additional stories behind the movie characters and items. 1. Directing Dobby ( ~ 31. March) This exhibition allows us to find out how Dobby was created -…

Things to Do in York

By
York - the Shambles

Whoever it is that asks me where they should visit in the UK, my answer always includes York. Taking about two hours by train from London, I bet you will see, just within a day, how this medieval city has cast a spell over me (and you too by the end of the day). My first visit to York was in June 2012 with my uni friends. I had so many sweet memories then that I had to take my mum to share them with her during her visit in April 2016. As the city has managed to keep its medieval look superbly, the four-year gap seemed non-existent: it stayed as pretty as it always has been. Among a countless number of things to do, here are my Must-Do’s in York. They are all possible on foot! The Shambles: the Medieval Street…just like a Film Set! My absolutely favourite place in York is the Shambles!…

How to Attract Adult Visitors to Museums

By
Natural History Museum Silent Disco - Sehee in the World

A museum changes into a disco club!ย  Inย the previous post I shared how much I enjoyed a special event at the Natural History Museumย called: ‘After-School Club for Grown-ups & Silent Disco at the Natural History Museum’. While I was busy dancing hard, the marketer bit of me managed to squeeze into my mind. Because my general impression towards museums was rather far from excitement, I started to think about how the Natural History Museum was so successful in this event. There are four success factors I have thought of as a marketer’s perspective. 1. Clear STP (Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning) Customers of the Natural History Museum ย (NHM) can be categorisedย withย various criteria, but here I divided them into two groups as follows: Kids and adults with kids; and grown-ups without kids. With the majority of exhibitions being free as well as highly educational, the NHM is certainly one of the hot places in the UK…

The Best Evening at the Natural History Museum

By
Silent Disco at Natural History Museum

About three weeks ago my friends living in Germany visited me. Wondering what could make our days in London fabulous, I encountered this thing from the Natural History Museum: After-School Club for Grown-ups & Silent Disco at the Natural History Museum. I must admit I had thought spending time at museums is far from having most fun. Thank God that I didn’t take the same approach this time and went for it. This event was actually my best night out, and I could also see highly satisfied faces of my friends. No matter when the next event pops up, you might as well browse now on how I enjoyed it to make most of yours. ๐Ÿ™‚ As the name described, we could choose one of the programmes or both. To nail that night we went for both: one from 7pm-10pm, and the silent disco from 10pm-1am. Now let me share with you how I…
