Morning Kingston!

As the Mayor of London adopts the coat of arms that once belonged to the Greater London Council, here’s @edwinheathcote.bsky.social making the case for the capital’s government returning to its real home: County Hall on the Embankment #fromthearchives buff.ly/whyNAa5

Frank Gehry probably didn't really like websites or think of them as useful to get work etc.
Judging by their very out of date almost splash screen design, it's never updated just a nothing page really. I wonder if this might change? www.foga.com/index.html
