Promotion - no I do not get paid for this - but the Portuguese red wine at Kendall’s (Institute of Engineers) is still the nicest and best value for money in the whole of SW1. Trust me! 😉
Little good deed of the day today - I was kind to London tourists. They help the economy, after all. And we‘re all tourists somewhere, once in a while. 😉 Tourists are a bit like vermin in Westminster, especially German tourists, but in the end they just want to have a great hol.
Two more from Frieze London, because I really quite liked these two works. The first are two video diptychs by artist Russell Watson at new Black Curatorial Gallery, the second is a painting by Spanish artist Chidy Wayne at Southern Guild Gallery. All pic sets @Alamy_Editorial
And a few shots from Frieze Masters, which was very busy, but I must admit I prefer the somewhat calmer, more focused atmosphere there. Fewer influencers, more people actually interested in art. But what do I know. Both fairs were fab, together attracting c. 95k visitors.
A few from the Sunday morning media round at the BBC this morning, Zack Polanski, Helen Whately, Yvette Cooper, umm, Nadine Dorries.
A 'Russian 'Deli and Caviar Boutique' appears to have opened recently in Parkway, Camden. Looked pricey, and empty. Seems a bit tone deaf, perhaps, to go ahead opening that sort of business right now?
Ok I will make myself unpopular with this tweet, but the way most of their fans here in London look really does not endear the NFL (nor American football in general) to me. Sorry!
