Dear Readers

The exotic & The local

The 'bunkling down' season is almost here – it's time to start thinking about some interior ideas. We have included articles from high end bespoke flooring to Transylvanian folk art furniture as well as crafted glass inspired by a sacred Japanese pilgrimage.

At the Hayward Gallery until mid-October, a multitude of voices explore identity and gender since the 1960s in the exhibition Drag: Self-portraits and Body Politics. A subject relevant and timely in our fluid and shifting society.

We celebrate 20 years of Williams Lynch on Bermondsey Street in an interview with Mark Williams who was the first agent on the road, having identified the area's potential. Mark fondly recalls his experiences and the changes over the last two decades.

Stay safe and warm!

Yours

Angela Webb
