Just a little oddity..

A Mexican Polish bistro, with a French name, in the middle of Mayfair, in a cutest little tucked away place called Shepherds Market, just off Park Lane. Unfortunately it was closed when I was there today but I will be coming back to sample the food as such (con)fusion of cuisines must be quite a thing!

The Wizard of Oz

Apparently the show itself is shambles, and opened to lukewarm reviews, as well as a scandal with Southbank Centre employees writing fake raving reviews on some message board or other to boost its reputation. The poster, however, is brilliant, looks stunning against the brutal grey concrete of the Southbank Centre.

Gorillas in the Mist

Interactive fountain at the Southbank Centre. I say interactive, as you step on the grills and the water spouts up from the bottom in different places and you have to dodge it all the time to avoid getting soaked. Or not, as some kids do, delighted to get wet.

Beautifully executed idea and delightful to watch. It is rare that you see such an innovative and engaging piece of public display.

Down the toilet

Public toilet by the Clapham Common tube station. Bit of an odd subject, I know, but the ragged, shabby chic somehow caught my attention. It reminds me of the desolate, yet glamorously grim interiors in The Matrix.
