London has inspired countless stories and perspectives over time, but as sweeping changes take place, what lies on the other side for the capital and those who inhabit it? Join acclaimed author Iain Sinclair as he recounts his own perspective on the city he has written about for many years, and what remains or begins for life after London - at an illustrated talk at the Museum this Thursday, 21 February. Sinclair will explore some of the themes of his latest book Living with Buildings and Walking with Ghosts (published by @wellcomecollection) linking well-being and architecture with forms of transport. The writer will also discuss the notion of walking around the M25 motorway and his journey on foot along the London Overground or ‘Ginger line’ at night, exploring how walking allows the walker to understand the consequences of infrastructure. Iain will look at Rebecca Hind’s Scintilla: the glittering speck in Hawksmoor’s Christ Church in Spitalfields (pictured here) which shows how modern art and Christianity can sit side by side, and also to Pepys Estate beside the Thames in Deptford. Iain will be signing copies of his book (published by @wellcomecollection) after the talk. Follow the link in the bio to book your tickets. #iainsinclair #livingwithbuildings #booksigning #talks #londonstories

Myth has it that the wild birds started to proliferate after the legendary guitarist released a pair in Carnaby Street in the 1960s. #LondonStories #posterprizeforillustration2019 #theaoi #jimihendrix #parakeets #carnabystreet
