A Brutalist Surprise on the South Bank

Working right on London’s South Bank is an enormous thrill. Every day I walk out the school gate and into this incredibly vibrant and electric atmosphere – this image is of the Brutalist architecture of the National Theatre lit, as it always is on winter nights, by a constantly evolving vibrance of ethereal light. I encountered it this evening after watching a film put on for my film club boys at the British Film Institute. They are lucky to take such things for granted!
