The Queen’s Tower

The Palace Theatre on Cambridge Circus is a landmark no doubt familiar to you even if you are not planning on going to the Harry Potter show currently running.

A Boxworth Salad

This is a Boxworth Salad. You don’t need the receipt ‘cos you can see it; simply scrumptious and recreated last week as a Rutland Gate Salad.

Smoking Chimneys

It has taken three months to get into Lutyens’ life but it has been worth the effort.

A Dolls’ House

I have finished The Quest for Queen Mary. There was one more especially enjoyable piece: James Pope-Hennessy’s visit to Copenhagen to meet Prince and Princess Axel of Denmark.

Another Hammersmith Horror

Another bit of interesting architecture falls to the wrecker’s ball. It was a vaguely Art Deco garage ( a miniature Hoover building) although it has been empty for a few years as a developer bought up the whole block.
