Monthly Favourites

On this page is a list of my regular Favourites posts about my life since moving to London in 2017, where I talk about theatre, museums, events, socialising, walks, travel, public speaking, interviews, accessibility, technology, entertainment and more. A few selected highlights are noted below, but there is a great deal more within each Favourites post. You can also check out my pages on specific topics if you’re looking for something in particular.

A column of 4 photos on the left shows Glen flying over Hogwarts castle on a broomstick, sitting in front of the London Eye, standing by the Freddie Mercury waxwork, and smiling while holding a plunger with a small model toilet on his head. The column of 4 photos on the right show Glen posing with members of East London Vision, student artist Nihan Karim, Aniridia Network members Fern and Jenny, and South East London Vision events organiser Jessica.
