Action shot! Our new trustee, Boryana Ivanova, atop scaffolding at St Stephen Walbrook. Boryana particularly loves the City of London's churches - "Each one tells a unique story of resilience & adaptation. I love how they offer pockets of calm amidst the bustle of the city."

New trustee Eleanor van Heyningen's favourite historic space in London is West Norwood Cemetery. "One of the 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian cemeteries, I love that it not only tells the stories of so many lives, it's also a haven for biodiversity, nature & wildlife." Anyone else want to share theirs?

Did you know that Selfridges' 1935 Christmas display is considered to be the first of its kind in London with the themed windows and lights spanning the entire length of the store! Selfridges had been known for its impressive festive displays since its opening in 1909 by American Harry Selfridge.
