It was SOOO good to be back in a West End theatre after so long!!!
Totally thrilled to have received my copy of this gorgeous new release from @magickalwomen, co-edited with introduction by the indomitable @suemetro! ⁣
Photos from today and photos from 1895. Kingston is a seriously under-appreciated neighbourhood in London. There’s been a market here since the 12th century, and Charles I made a proclamation that no other market could be held within 7 miles of Kingston—a decree apparently still in force, and unquestionably a major influence in Kingston’s growth over the centuries into a major commercial centre that matches the annual turnover of Covent Garden (which is, not incidentally, over 7 miles away). ⁣
London has been full of marvellous eccentrics for a very long time. When the Bull and Mouth Inn was demolished in the late 19th century, someone actually thought that this giant terracotta relief sculpture of a bull standing in an enormous mouth was definitely the right thing to commemorate it. Just imagine the ideas the *didn’t* get selected…. The inscription reads, gnomically, ‘Milo the Cretonian
I thought I was a proper Londoner but had absolutely no clue that buried 8 meters underneath the Guildhall Yard are the remains of a Roman amphitheatre built around 60 CE and then developed across almost 150 years to seat 6,000 spectators. Only rediscovered in 1988, the amphitheatre is definitely a must-visit. ⁣
Tucked away in the forecourt of St Magnus-the-Martyr is one of the only pieces that remains from the Roman wharf built on the Thames in 75CE. Go hunt for it—you get to feel like you’re in a Dan Brown novel! The church itself was built by Wren after the Great Fire and named after Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney who was executed by his cousin. Dickens mentions the church, as does T.S. Eliot, who writes in The Waste Land that ‘the walls of Magnus Martyr hold / Inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold’.
