Amazing exhibition at Two Temple Place on working-class life past and present (on until this Sunday), strong recurring theme of working-class experiences as overwritten, stigmatised and mythologised - and efforts to counteract!

A fun few days in London, visiting the site of Raphael Samuel’s house in Spitalfields, and the Salter family statues (and some of the estates the Salters designed) in Bermondsey
