About TLC

What we do

• We curate social and cultural programmes for those who enjoy being active in the company of like-minded people
• Hosting is the key ingredient: we want you to feel like guests, part of a community.
• We arrange outings and hosted excursions to theatres, concerts, City walks, private tours of country houses and nights away from London, sometimes abroad.
• And when we couldn’t get out we created TLC during COVID to support 500 households with food deliveries. 

Who are you?

• Members come from all walks of life; many of you are single, many are couples: many of you have retired and others just want to do more, in and around London as well as further afield.
• TLC is a home from home for members of the London Ladies’ Club as well as many members of St George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club, The Hurlingham Club, the Army & Navy Club (the Rag, where we arrange fortnightly talks through much of the year), Radio HP Listeners and others.
• You may live at Riverstone in Fulham or Kensington, Battersea Place or Nightingale Place.  
• You enjoy theatre, opera, music, talks, gentle adventures, private tours and special access.
• And you enjoy the company of others and meeting new people.

The Team

We are Maria and Julian Sturdy-Morton, a husband and wife team, and we started this venture in 2010. Like many people of our age, we came together later in life and are eager to catch up.

Maria

has a lifelong passion for theatre and film – she is a walking encyclopaedia of both and much besides. After a successful career in media and marketing she helps private clients, like a small family office. An Armenian born in the UK, Maria comes from a culture that values age and hospitality.

Julian

grew up abroad and loves food, music and travel; he’s advised some of the world’s largest hospitality companies and sat on the boards of two travel companies, both built on service. He trained as a vicar, although his career was in banking.

More of the team

Of course we cannot do everything ourselves so we are surrounded by

• wonderful co-hosts;
• and like-minded people in all areas, especially people we have worked with in the past;

We are building on more than ten years of ‘adding a bit of TLC’

Melissa is a very successful and experienced event organiser – when the Scots Guards celebrated new Colours Melissa organised the party. She gets the job done and makes people feel good.

Nadia is a self taught computer whizz – she built her first website aged 10. Her Cambridge degree is in something completely different but we would not have a TLC website without her.
