Luxmuralis returns to the Old Royal Naval College, bringing ancient civilisations to life with Lost Worlds

This autumn, the Old Royal Naval College will be transformed after dark as Luxmuralis presents Lost Worlds, a spectacular new light and sound installation inspired by the myths, civilisations and natural wonders of the ancient world. Created by acclaimed artist Peter Walker with an original score by composer David Harper, the experience brings the Etruscans, Egyptians, Romans, Mayans and Anglo-Saxons to life through immersive projection, colour and sound.

At the heart of the installation is the magnificent Painted Hall. Three hundred years after Sir James Thornhill completed its celebrated artwork, Walker reimagines its iconic imagery through bespoke projections, turning Sir Christopher Wren’s architecture into a spectacular canvas of light. Ancient maps, astronomical knowledge, illuminated manuscripts, mythical kingdoms and fantastical creatures unfold across the historic buildings, creating a vivid journey through history, mythology and imagination.

The installation also reflects Greenwich’s maritime heritage, exploring themes of navigation, exploration and voyages into the unknown.

Combining cutting edge digital art with the Old Royal Naval College’s extraordinary architecture, Lost Worlds offers visitors a chance to experience this UNESCO World Heritage Site in a completely new light.

Dates: Friday 6th November – Sunday 15th November

Address: Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, London SE10 9NN

On Saturday 13th September, Marylebone Lane will be transformed into a lively pedestrianised hub as Marylebone Village hosts A Day on the Lane, an outdoor shopping and dinning event running from 10am to 4pm.

The day promises a mix of creative workshops, alfresco dining, street food, live music, wellness sessions and special retail experiences, with the atmosphere set against the backdrop of one of central London’s most charming streets. Proceeds from the event will go towards the Young Westminster Foundation, a local charity supporting opportunities for young people across Westminster.

Visitors will be able to try their hand at a variety of creative workshops designed to be beginner friendly and hands on. Options include flower arranging with Bayley & Sage Abode, flower pot painting, knitting lessons and embroidered mending sessions at PLATFORM, all offering the chance to learn a new skill and take home something personal.

Food and drink will play a central role throughout the day, with restaurants extending their terraces onto the lane. St. JOHN will showcase its signature “nose-to-tail” philosophy, Delamina will bring an Eastern Mediterranean flavour, and The Ivy will provide classic British dishes accompanied by live music. 108 Brasserie is marking the occasion with a summer terrace closing party, serving tasters such as gnocchi and mini lobster rolls.

Street food and pop-up bars will add to the festivities, with Cavita serving mezcal cocktails and skewers, Lina Stores offering aperitivo bites, Caldesi mixing Aperol Spritz and Le Relais de Venise pouring champagne. Local pubs are also getting involved, with The Coach Makers Arms teaming up with Harbour Brewery to serve roast beef and lamb buns, and The Golden Eagle joining St Austell Brewery to host a Korev pop-up bar.

For those seeking a moment of calm, London health club Third Space will run complimentary Breathwork and Soundbath classes in the morning. Each 45-minute session comes with added perks, including a smoothie at The Ivy and access to Rebase’s ice bath and sauna facilities. Spaces are limited, so booking ahead is recommended.

The retail offering across Marylebone Lane will also feature one-off experiences and promotions. Jewellery brand Dinny Hall will be offering discounts alongside live demonstrations by jeweller Sam Holmes, while Larry King will invite visitors to spin a prize wheel for hair products and enjoy complimentary ice cream. Independent boutiques will take part too: O Pioneers will run card-making sessions using Liberty prints, shoemaker Tracey Neuls will host a prize competition involving traditional Korean shoe candy cutting, and PLATFORM will showcase chakra stones with an option to have gems engraved.
