London / Transport

This is one of the only platforms on the London Underground that is not bombarded with billboard advertising. It’s a reminder to myself of how an uncluttered environment can give you so much more room to think.

A go to spot for me that is close to home! Place image not by me

London / Cinema

Great little cinema, hidden away in the basement of Aubin & Wills, London. Not exactly a fan of the brand but the cinema is pretty awesome. They show a variety of interesting films and have probably the comfiest seats including armchairs and sofas. Bit dear, but one of the best cinemas I've come across.

London / Bookstore

An excellent bookshop by Brick Lane, the interior design is incredible and the selection unexpected. A good place to get lost in!

London / Park

There is a rather beautiful faded glory to these mythical creatures, which flank the steps guarding the ruins of the Italian Terraces in front of the former Crystal Palace, which dramatically burnt down in 1936.

London / Park

Let your imagination run wild in this surreal London Park. Crystal Palace is a great place to walk around dinosaurs and get introduced in prehistoric vibes. Sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins was commissioned to make lifesized models of newly discovered dinosaurs back in 1952. They were the first dinosaur sculptures in the world, pre-dating the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. They have been recently remodelled in 2002.
