My London

How do you start the day?

The best days start with rigorous bouldering at The Arch Climbing Wall in Bermondsey. I go from 6.30am with my younger brother. It is a wonderfully physical way to begin the day, and there’s a healthy eroticism to it all with bodies splayed across colourful geometric challenges.

What is your perfect breakfast?

Breakfast itself is eaten enroute to the studio. On good days, this is a large hunk of seed cake made by my flatmate who is a pastry chef.

What are your favourite buildings?

The Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre for the bowling; the IMAX for the visitor experience honed to celebrate the architecture; and St Paul’s Cathedral – my brother just got engaged in the Whispering Gallery.

Tell us your favourite museums.
