I can't remember if I was sent this, or stumbled across it on a lunch break internet bumble (so apologies if you are the person who sent it to me!) but either way, it looks great. And very Standing In The Long Nowish…

Slow Down London is a new project to inspire Londoners to improve their lives by slowing down to do things well, rather than as fast as possible.

The Slow Down London campaign will hold a festival (24 April – 4 May 2009) offering activities and inspiration, through working with a range of partners. It will give Londoners a chance to explore slow music and arts, to try meditation and yoga, to sample slow food and crafts, to discover 'slow travel' in our own city, to debate ideas about time and pace, and to find our own ways to challenge the cult of speed and to appreciate the world around us. You can view the full event programme here: slow-down-london-events-programme

We also hope to create longer-term networks and opportunities for trying life at a slower pace and enjoying improved quality, creativity and wellbeing.

Unfortunately I can't make this weekend's events as I'm at both a Neogeddon Rave in Sussex and my best friend's wedding in Watford. So not much standing, 'slow travel', or long now for the next few days then, but I'll definitely be making time for some of the events next week.
