What a Magnificent Departure Lounge

. . . for a weekend away. Liverpool Street Rail Station. This week I'm taking you to the Forest of Epping. All aboard.

The repurposing of a submersible used in oil rig rescues to a London canal. I like the fact that there’s transport on hand to prevent cabin fever.

New Apartment Blocks Needn't be Boring




Here are some extremely smart ones from the London Borough of Camden. The blocks are reminiscent of the famous and much more expensive Yoo Building in St John's Wood. Architects who can work with a proportionality that approximates the golden mean are in my view the ones worthy of such public housing commissions - or any other commission for that matter.

I love the stripped-down classical proportions of 1930s' inspired design: always beautiful.

King's Cross Gets Ready to Bare its Mighty Frontage

So there. Please apply here if you have ideas for a Little Rijksmuseum, more cargo bikes, Dutch beer, gabled buildings and canals. Thank you.

The joys of a perfect carpet of urban lawn when others are paid to maintain it.
(Some of the nice things our taxes go to pay for, part I.)
