I went to see the new film/documentary about Eileen Gray and her E.1027 house. I wrote about it here: www.modernistestates.com/journal/e-1027

Read about my ‘accidental’ purchase of vintage David Mellor cutlery, and the time I stole a spoon 😬. www.modernistestates.com/journal/davi...

A reminder that these t-shirts are still available (they’re print on demand, so I’ll keep doing them until the housing crisis is fixed 🤪) All proceeds are donated to Shelter

I bought a very good book in Milan. Yet to devour.

Camden council have done a great job of fixing the tiles on my estate. Really too quality work 👍🏻

I’m heading to Milan tomorrow, looking at Gio Ponti flats and houses, but if you have any suggestions of other modernist residential buildings, I’m all ears! 👂

The Golden Lane Estate festive market is back this Sunday! I’m skipping around Milan so won’t be able to make it, but you should go anyway, lots of great stallholders this year!

I've been punching away at my calculator this afternoon and have totted up sales of Perambulations over the last few months and can confirm we've raised another £284.75 for @sheltercharity and a total of £4,738.75 to date. Thanks everyone!

Emails like this make the ones complaining that their Perambulations have arrived bent almost worth it:

“we live in one of the few original and unchanged houses on the Royston Summers estate. If you would ever like to see our house and tour our estate I’d be very happy to host you.“
