Broomhill Art Hotel
A totally unique experience and incredible way to host contemporary artworks. The Broomhill art Hotel combines a museum plus sculpture gallery with a hotel. Whilst many of the best hotels have great art one would appear odd if they were to pace around in the manner one would in a museum. Likewise, showing up at […]

Sun in the City
The City of London’s recent development has meant that there are now many sky high glass buildings with little regard for how the sun will fall over those working in the one of the worlds oldest financial centres. This came to a head when a luxury sports card had it’s wing mirrors melted by 20 […]

The Tate Modern
London’s premier contemporary museum. Located on London’s Southbank the Tate is a converted power station with a recently completed appendage named The Blavatnik building. Internally and externally the building is unrecognisable as a power station. Having set the trend it now looks like a modern art museum. There are walkways and viewing galleries which ostentatiously […]

Winter 18/19 Cyclocross
Over the past winter I followed the London and South East Cyclocross League. For those not in the know, cyclocross is off road bicycle racing often through wet and muddy short tracks. Originally the sport was for road cyclists who had nothing to do outside of the grand tours and monuments but has since become […]

Arundel Town
Surrounding Arundel Castle is the town of Arundel. Not marred by chain stores, Nandos and grotesque new builds, the town benefits from both a civic duty to maintain the aesthetic of the town and wealth of Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian and Tudor buildings. A walk about the town will find galleries, boutique shops, fine restaurants and beautiful […]

Arundel Castle
The town of Arundel, located in West Sussex, is what one would expect to find in a 1000 year old time capsule. The streets are winding and cobbled, the buildings are ingloriously stone, brick or wood and castle looms over miles of green fields. The most prominent feature of Arundel is the castle, the photograph […]

Town Hall, Bromley
The former town hall of Bromley, Kent, constructed in 1906. The now vacant town hall has unfortunately little prominence as the development of the A20 bypass now runs four lanes of traffic in front of the main entrance. Historic photos show the road here was much smaller, almost pedestrianised. The main entrance is barred and […]

Knole house
The most stately of stately homes, Knole house has been the residence of Henry VIII, The Archbishop of Canterbury, and many Lords, Ladies, Counts, Earls and Dukes. Now it is managed by the National Trust and open to all who are willing to part with £3.50. This fee does not extend to the grounds which […]
