Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP 1st December 2009 - 6th December 2009 The highlight of the seniors' tennis circuit is definitely this Masters Tennis event at the Royal Albert Hall, which John McEnroe once described as "our Wimbledon". To play in the tournament players must, at one time, have been the world Number One, a Grand Slam finalist or a player on a winning Davis Cup side - so that means top quality. This year the line-up includes Aussies Pat Rafter and Mark "Scud" Philippoussis, louche Croatian Goran Ivanisevic, ice-cool Swede Stefan Edberg and our very own Greg Rusedski. These guys might have lost a few mph in speed and stamina over the years but they retain all the guile, poise and determination that made them champions in the first place. The doubles tournament is more relaxed but makes for compelling viewing, with wonderful displays (not to mention requisite banter) from the likes of Henri Leconte, Mansour Bahrami, Pat Cash and a host of other ace names. COMPETITION: LondonTown.com has teamed up with AEGON to offer you a pair of tickets with a champagne reception to the Masters Tennis 2009 for the afternoon session on Tuesday 1st December. For your chance to win, please answer the following question: Which player will make his debut at the 2009 event at the Royal Albert Hall? 1. Pat Rafter 2. Stefan Edberg 3. Greg Rusedski Send your answers to competitions@londontown.com with "Tennis" in the subject line by midday on Friday 27th November. First out of the hat wins.

Royal Academy of Arts, W1J 0BD 23rd January 2010 - 19th April 2010 The Royal Academy heralds the new year with a blockbuster exhibition on the works of Vincent van Gogh and we have three pairs of tickets to give away. The first major solo exhibition dedicated to the artist in London for over forty years, in The Real Van Gogh: The Artist And His Letters correspondence by the artist rarely on public view due to their fragile state, go on display. There are 35 letters - a fraction of the 120 to view online made available by the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam - as well as around 65 paintings and 30 drawings that illuminate the sentiments in the artist's writings. One of the world's best known artists, Van Gogh is famous for his short brushstrokes and bright colours, evident in paintings like his sunflowers, and for his ear-cutting episode. What this exhibition will reveal is a first hand account from the artist himself, challenging established generalisations about his mental state. These letters are displayed alongside paintings including a rare self-portait in which he portrays himself as an artist, still-life drawings and landscape scenes on loan from major museums worldwide. COMPETITION: We have three pairs of tickets to give away to the Van Gogh exhibition at the Royal Academy. To be in with a chance of winning simply tell us which city the Van Gogh Museum is in. Email your answer to competitions@londontown.com with 'Van Gogh' as the title of your email. Good luck!
