A City Crowned with Green First transmitted in 1964, architectural critic Reyner Banham's film brings out the unique character of London and explains how London has grown in size over the past 500 years.

Challenge. Find Reyner Banham's Hitchcock-like cameo appearance in this film he also narrates. What a fascinating historical document.

Chocolate and chips and a reposted tweet to celebrate the life of the much missed Sophie Watillon on her 60th birthday. I met her twice only and didn't really know all she had accomplished until much later. She was a great player, a generous teacher, and a warm person who touched a lot of people.
