Until some three years ago there was near Cadogan Square London SW1 a pub called "The Australian" which sadly had closed down to become an interior design shop. It had inside 19th c cricket memorabilia including a portrati of Grace.

Its name derived from the fact that nearby was a cricket field, before the famous "Oval Cricket grounds" was established where the first cricket match took place "between the Gentlemen of England and the Australians" (sic) - this is not a pun it is an accurate quotation (...).

Since that event the cricket pitch was long gone and built upon and the sole witness to it - the pub has also vanished.

STARS

By Barbara Chandler

The Platform Gallery, Habitat, 208 Kings Road, London SW3 5XP; www.platform.habitat.co.uk

From Tuesday 20 November to 5 January 2013

Open Monday – Friday 10am-7pm; late night, Wednesday 8pm; Saturday 9.30am – 6.30pm; Sunday 12 noon – 6pm

A filmic installation of over 70 colourful seasonal photographs projected onto the end wall of the gallery, with images from all around Europe, including London (of course), Paris, Sicily, Venice, Barcelona, St Petersburg, Greece, and Warsaw. Setting the mood is an innovative soundtrack by London’s cool DJ Wongtom. Here are starry pictures of street decorations observed all around Europe – London (of course), Paris, Sicily, Barcelona, St Petersburg, Riga, Warsaw and more. To this stellar line-up are added joyous images of street musicians, carol singers, shoppers and shop windows – sharply-observed yet affectionate, often witty and a touch surreal.

 

On the walls: mounted and framed signed prints of winter scenes in town and country (many in black-and-white), including Tower Bridge in the fog, Hampstead Heath on Boxing Day, Stonehenge, and the Northumberland and Lancashire coasts.

 

Also a supersize Christmas card (probably the biggest in London!) – with images for all the family to explore. There is also an “image trail” for children around the gallery, and Christmas family workshops by [re]design.

 

Photography from STARS is also on exclusive textiles at Habitat, including three tea towels (£8 each), two cushions (£25 each), two tote bags (£10 each) and an apron (£15).

A previous study on mental maps showing the difference between space as shown by Google maps and hand-drawn mental maps.

 

Mental maps are described as an individual's own internal map of their known world.

 

...our mental maps are a potpourri of fact and fiction...we have forgotten some things and seen others incorrectly. Our fears and prejudices and longings have biased our way of looking at the world.

King's Road shoppers on a rainy day in September 1983. This shot was taken on the north side of the road looking sort-of east towards Sloane Square. Opposite you can just see the edge of the famous Chelsea Drugstore, which was still very much in business when I took this photo. Today the iconic building houses a McDonald's. How times change.

Location: Crosby Hall, Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, SW3 5AZ

 

Description: This house originally stood in Bishopsgate, where it was the Great Hall of the 15th century Crosby Place.

 

Shakespeare was familiar with this former city mansion, and wrote it into 'Richard III' as the scene of Gloucester's plotting. The building was occupied by Richard while he was Duke of Gloucester. Later it was owned by Sir Thomas More.

 

The Hall was moved stone by stone from Bishopsgate to Chelsea in 1910 in order to rescue it from proposed demolition. It was then incorporated into the buildings of the British Federation of University Women and used as a dining hall. It is now a private residence.

 

A modern banking house stands on the original Bishopsgate site, and it bears a plaque to mark the hall's existence.
