Russell Square, London

The temperature in London has hauled itself
into the 20Cs, and when this occasionally coincides with sunshine, the city’s many garden
squares can be a welcome and relaxing refuge. In Russell Square, trees shroud
the sight of circling traffic, and the sound of its fountains mute the urban cacophony
around. The square is just around the corner from the British Museum into which I
nipped to see Germany Divided, an intriguing exhibition of drawings and prints by
Baselitz, Richter and others.

London’s Urban Sketchers are meeting for a sketchcrawl this Saturday, 24 May, at 11am. Come if you can: there’s more information at the London USk website.
