March 13, 2017. Esther’s family went and bought a forest. She gave her papa a hammock for Christmas, and it looks thoroughly at home. March 13, 2017. March 13, 2017. Saturday night film with the housemates – Hidden Figures. Sunday morning, up early for a cycling adventure. Across the river, through Richmond Park in drenching run, getting slightly lost through Ham Park, across delightful tiny suspension bridge at Teddington to cross the river again, through Bushy Park, lost once more, and then to Hampton ...

Jane's London: Westminster Cathedral, the mother church
http://www.janeslondon.com/2015/07/westminster-cathedral-mother-church.html
Cards and Prints for sale. Westminster Cathedral, the mother church. I have often admired the cathedral sitting on its piazza like a very showy Neo-Byzantine Battenberg cake, reflected in the glass windows of Victoria Street. But go inside and Oh My (Catholic) God! It's just wonderful in there. Bare walls and intricate mosaics – a glorious work in progress. My phone camera wasn't really up to the job, but this gives you some idea what to find in there:. And Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty. Whittington Pa...

Jane's London: The Walthamstow Fragment – an Ionic Conundrum
http://www.janeslondon.com/2015/06/the-walthamstow-fragment-ionic-conundrum.html
Cards and Prints for sale. The Walthamstow Fragment – an Ionic Conundrum. Outside Vestry House Museum in Walthamstow Village. There sits a short column with an Ionic capital. Its irregular shape kept me intrigued for quite some time because I noticed that no two corners are the same – one corner is a true right angle, the next an acute angle, the opposite one has a corner cut into it and the last is an obtruse angle. Oh, and for some reason the one true corner is angled at the very top edge. This Waltham...

Jane's London: A Walk Along Kings Road
http://www.janeslondon.com/2015/07/a-walk-along-kings-road.html
Cards and Prints for sale. A Walk Along Kings Road. The groovy shops and cafés of the King's Road in its 1960s heyday have all disappeared but there are a few interesting details along the street that hint at this might have once been a road fit for a king. Starting at the corner of Sydney Street by Habitat and walking east towards Sloane Square. And some of its Art Deco details. Opposite Habitat and the cinema there's Chelsea Town Hall, the Scottish Methodist Church and a lovely Shoe Repairers' sign.

Jane's London: Temperance. Temperance.
http://www.janeslondon.com/2015/06/temperance-temperance.html
Cards and Prints for sale. From a No29 bus last month I snapped a few pics of the abandoned Temperance Hospital in Hampstead Road, NW1:. This group of once-proud and important buildings has been empty for deacdes. I am pretty sure the hospital was only partly being used when I worked around the corner in Stephenson Way back in 1996, so that's almost 30 years of neglect. What a sad waste of space. The old St Pancras Female Orphanage. The southernmost of the hospital buildings. St Jamess Market, Piccadilly...

Jane's London: A garden across the River Thames
http://www.janeslondon.com/2013/11/a-garden-across-river-thames.html
Cards and Prints for sale. A garden across the River Thames. Earlier this year I watched a programme on TV about a fanciful idea to construct a parkland walk across the Thames. Between the bridges of Waterloo and Blackfriars. Joanna Lumley takes credit for the idea and in the programme she was seen in meetings with Thomas Heatherwick. Well, it's all very lovely, and Ms Lumley says, "thrilling", but haven't we got got better things to be to be spending this sort of money on? If it does go ahead I expect w...

The Thin Veil of London - Minimum Labyrinth
http://www.minimumlabyrinth.org/the-thin-veil-of-london.html
The creative paroxysms of Rich Cochrane and Robert Kingham. The Thin Veil of London. The stories of Arthur Machen (1863-1947) teem with sinister ancient pre-Christian horrors – troglodyte races and malevolent fauns – that lurk just beneath the surface of modern life. The Thin Veil of London. Takes up this theme. It is a journey into the silent corners of Holborn and Bloomsbury, and it is a journey into the worlds of Faery and science, madness and ecstasy, and what Machen called. 1 Queen's Square, London ...
