Bompas is one part of Bompas & Parr, experts in multi-sensory experiences combining food and art. The group has created jelly skyscrapers, a grotto for grown-ups in Westfield and Dinner at the Twits in The Vaults under Waterloo.
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.
