My favourite local beer garden.

In terms of materials and form, these galleries offer so much. On an abstract and typographic level, so useful. This is a section of an altar frieze, from the Eye Temple at Tell Brak (N.E. Syria), dated 3300–3000BC. The Egyptian rooms take the tourist weight; these spaces are much quieter and amenable time spent drawing and thinking.

THE place for birthday presents and bookcases (mine was 50p).

If your a drinker, like a good Sunday roast or want a friendly place to chill. Here you go.

Misty mornings on the river beat the rest... this pic was taken in February on the Walthamstow marshes.
