An oasis of peace in London's frantic atmosphere.

This is a great, free and lesser known spot in London. A glass lift takes you up the side of st.Paul's cathedral right out onto the roof terrace of this shopping centre. A great view over London.

One or two screenings a day, a few days a week; less is more at Close Up. The library is a great resource too, for work or pleasure.

One of the main sources of inspiration for my work are unusual objects, vintage toys and tools. A great place to find them is this genuine car boot sale, which is clear of 'bargain' toilet paper and questionable cosmetics. Another plus are the comparatively sociable opening hours. (it starts at noon… )

An independent cinema in the heart of Kensal rise.
