March 20th marked the 11th anniversary of the International Day of Happiness. Introduced by the UN in 2012, the International Day of Happiness gives us the chance to reflect on what has made us happy this past year. It also serves as an important reminder to prioritise happiness and wellbeing in the year ahead. Here at Guildhouse, we recognise the vital role happiness plays in staying motivated and focused.
Our students shared some of the things that brought them joy on International Happiness Day:
- “Talking to my friends and spending time with them”
- “Doing my maths test and talking to my mum”
- “Seeing my friends every day and the teachers who always bring a smile to my face”
- “I had a debate in history class that was fun”
London is the heart of England. There’s so much going on that finding your happy place has never been easier but if you need some help, we recommend starting here:
Experience happiness in the sky
London’s highest public garden was planted at the top of a skyscraper. The Sky Garden is home to a huge assortment of beautiful Mediterranean and South African plants and flowers, which bloom all year round. This stunning garden offers a 360-degree view of London’s skyline and it’s completely free to visit.

Taste test the different delicacies on offer at the market or embark on a street art tour to discover hidden masterpieces around the borough and what inspired the artists who created them.
Discover happiness playing games
Are you a competitive person? If you are, you and your friends should head down to Soho and play a game of life-sized Monopoly!
