We performed our usual shopping run to Sainsbury’s this morning and here, for your delectation (or not), are the usual Sunday matutinal pictures:

The Farmers’ Market

At the checkout

Walking through the market

Later, we set out again and caught a bus.

Tottenham Court Road

The bus brought us to Tottenham Court Road.

Pret A Manger

We stopped off for a bite of lunch at Pret A Manger.

BT Tower in Fitzrovia

After lunch, we ventured into Fitzrovia where the BT Tower is the most noticeable landmark.

Strange feature

We passed a building with this strange architectural feature, looking like a gigantic beetle.

Pearson Square

We entered this pathway between buildings which leads to an open area where…

The One and the Many
Peter Randall-Page

..,we saw this large work of art, seemingly covered in Chinese characters. It is entitled The One and the Many and was made by Peter Randall-Page.

The Fitzrovia Chapel

By this way we arrived at the Fitzrovia Chapel which is now an art gallery. We had come to see an exhibition entitled Leigh Bowery: Tell Them I’ve Gone to Papua New Guinea. The exhibition is free but you are supposed to acquire tickets to avoid overcrowding. As you will see, photography is allowed.

I know virtually nothing about Leigh Bowery and have very little interest in him, to be honest. You will no doubt find information on him and his life online, if you wish. The chapel itself is a beautiful and interesting building and worth seeing on its own account. Here, then, are a few photos taken in a rather crowded space.

There was also a 37-minute video to watch in which various people, including Boy George, who had known Leigh Bowery told us how wonderful he was and how great it was to know him.

Le Pain Quotidien

Leaving the exhibition, we retired to the local branch of Le Pain Quotidien for a pot of tea for two.

Aboard the 73

Afterwards, we caught a number 73 bus back to the Angel. Downstairs was full so we went upstairs and sat at the back, where the rear staircase leads to the bus’s back door and a quick exit at our stop.
