I love living in cities with a river and the Thames is so wide! It is one of my favorite things about London.

The Almeida, in Islington, is a small theatre with big influence. It's an intimate place to discover groundbreaking theatre and get up close to some of Britain's leading actors. The cafe/bar across has a constantly-changing tasty menu, relaxed atmosphere and free wifi. Open all day and great place to spend time even if you're not going to catch a production.

Aside from the fact of the underground being the oldest running railway system in the world, I find the underground just an incredibly strange place. Sometimes it’s like I’ve entered an organised maze and just walk without even thinking. The photo is taken of the floor from one of the trains, it’s normally what you tend you look at when you’re on the train.

Spread over six floors in London's East End, the building is host to several designated spaces: Mãos, a kitchen, table and wine room; Grace’s, a listening room; Blue Projects, an exhibition space comprised of a series of viewing rooms; and Hostem, an open archive. Both a progressive vision and a physical place of contemplation, Blue Mountain School continues to evolve based on the enduring influence of all those involved. Various friends, designers and leading practitioners within their field are part of an ongoing collaboration, including Nuno Mendes, Valentin Loellmann, Tyler Hays and 6a architects.

One of my favourite things about London is the underground transport system itself. I love the design of the information systems and the stations have so much history — some of them dating right back to the 1800s.
