On the 9-10 October 2010, please listen to the grumbling in your tummy, and make your way to The Scandinavia Show at Olympia Conference Centre in Kensington, London, for a taste and a tipple of the best Scandinavian produce and brands out there. You will not be disappointed by the wide range of exhibitors, as there will be something for everyone, from Norwegian waffles for those with a real sweet tooth to Finnish vodka for the thirsty liquor connoisseur.
Scandinavia is going to be on everybody’s mind and lips in London later this year, when The Scandinavia Show hits the city. More than 100 exhibitors will showcase and sell the best brands that Scandinavia has to offer in fashion, food, design and culture at a two day show.

How many of us can claim to have a king buried in our back yard? Swedish wine maker Göran Amnegård, for one, passes the burial site of the Viking King Blackemost mornings on his way to inspect his vines.
Ho ho ho, finally, it’s that time of year where you can get away with wearing patterned jumpers, silly hats and sport a red hooter and still expect to be taken seriously.
If you wish to feel the London buzz, be seen and grab a bite after work, Soho is the place. That is exactly what we want to do, and we are not alone; all Londoners seem to be out on this last warm summer evening.
