iPhone Travels: Romilly Street W1

Auto Erotica: BMW 300














The ultimate driving machine has come a long way since the early days of the BMW 300 Isetta Moto DeLuxe. This 293cc single cylindered 4-stroke engine could reach an urban speed-breaking 53mph. It became one of the most successful microcars ever produced in the post World War II years due to the need for cheap, short-distanced vehicles at that time. Originally designed in Italy by Iso Spa, it was soon built in Spain, Belgium, France, Germany, Brazil and the UK.

iPhone Travels: The Old Blue Last














This old Victorian boozer on the busy junction of Curtain Road and Great Eastern Street is somewhat of a favourite for cool, young music types. The pub is run by the guys of VICE, where bands and live DJs play every night of the week. The external artwork of cuddly angry animals is a recent incarnation.

Lacoste - Zaha Hadid


































Zaha Hadid tries her hand at footwear design in collaboration with sports brand Lacoste. The architect's designs will be on sale in limited editions of only 850 pairs.

“The design expression behind the collaboration with Lacoste footwear allows the evolution of dynamic fluid grids. When wrapped around the shape of a foot, these expand and contract to negotiate and adapt to the body ergonomically. In doing so a landscape emerges, undulating and radiating as it merges seamlessly with the body."
- Zaha Hadid
