Walking in the footsteps of 18th century map-maker John Rocque today, with @LaurenceWorms, Ashley, Sheila and friends. Including the site on Bond Street where John Pine engraved Rocque's 24 sheet map of London, and the site of his first premises.


Illuminating and enjoyable conversation in @StBartholomews this evening between @WalkerMarcus and @BijanOmrani, whose new book goes straight to the top of my reading pile.


Here to support friends at the annual Soho Waiters' Race. So close! Months of training, next year it's Doppo for the win. Congratulations everyone.

Magnificent day @HomeOfCricket. Solid, but quite a slog for England. But it doesn't really get better than India vs England at Lord's. Hallowed ground.


First glass of champagne with the first ball of the day... great view @homeofcricket

Weighing the merits of Dow's 1963, Warre's 1970 and Martinez 1963 (the rather subtle and interesting outlier). Port tasting with friends at Doppo on one of the hottest days of the year.

Unforgettable and restorative week exploring the sites and controversies of the seven ecumenical councils of the early church with @StBartholomews. Now back in Cecil Court and ready to debate with Arians, Nicenes, Nestorians or Monophysites... #Niceae1700




A friend just sent this clip of me enjoying a hookah in an Irish bar in Istanbul. Typical Anglican on pilgrimage with @StBartholomews #Niceae1700
A Delight to be exhibiting at London Map Fair at The Royal Geographical Society this weekend! Big thanks to Tim and Massimo for siting my exhibition alongside Johnston's 1851 Great Exhibition globe in The Map Room!
All set for the 2025 London Map Fair @RGS_IBG, with our heaviest map this year, a 1910 enamel London Underground station map. The weather's holding, come and visit!
