Tat London Journal

After a bit of a summer pause, we’re back with Dream Homes — the working title here at Tat. These are the houses we’d scoop up if the lottery came through for us. Realistically, it would need to be the Euromillions, as the upkeep alone on many of them would bankrupt most mortals. But why let money spoil the fun?

Here we have another round of excellent pieces — big, small, and everything that might be squeezed in between. I was particularly taken with the works on Marc Kitchen Smith’s website; one or two struck me as especially good.

Autumn practically herds us into pubs, and who are we to resist? Inside, the lights glow like stage spots, the dishes arrive with a reassuring heft, and the drinks have just enough spice to make you feel deliciously indulgent. The fires crackle, the conversation sparkles, and the chill outside becomes someone else’s problem. These, we think, are the best places to play out the season.
