We're Going to Need More Gravy

We stopped in at the crypt gallery at St Pancras Church this afternoon to see the latest exhibit in this wonderfully atmospheric space. Glass Echoes 2 consists of 25 artists' work in contemporary glass--the show definitely made the most of the dark corners and tiny rooms in the crumbling crypt. Somehow we had stumbled upon the private view, which kind of cramped my picture-taking style because the usually empty crypt was packed with people standing in front of the art. Still, I managed to squeeze through the crowds to get photos of a few pieces

including my favourite of the lot, Dot Hill's A Miss Haversham Moment.

After we left the crypt, we took the bus down to the Strand to wander for a bit. As we passed Bush House (home of the BBC's World Service), I took advantage of being on the upper-deck of the bus to snap this pic:

Although Bush House is one of the many London buildings that opens to the public during my favourite London weekend, it's not one that we've yet made it out to see. Apparently, the two statues are meant to symbolise Anglo-American friendship (the building was originally commissioned for an American businessman, Irving Bush, who wished to set up a trade centre here), and the statue representing America had its left arm destroyed by a WWII bomb and wasn't restored until 1977.
