A personal note on the Brutalist architecture of South London. I've been meaning to write this for a while, well- before I forget these gems I had cycled past more than a decade ago during my 9-5 era and also partly because I think they deserve better than a glance.

Pride has always represented something larger than sexuality or gender identity. It represents belonging. It says: there is space for you here. Whether you were born in Brixton or Bangalore. Whether your family has lived in Britain for generations or you've just arrived. Whether you're gay, straight, trans, queer, questioning or simply trying to find your place in the world. There is space for you here.

I’ve walked to both stadiums more times than I can count. Sometimes on match days to the Emirates, sometimes just passing through the old Highbury stadium with a sketchbook in my bag. What always strikes me is how different the experience feels before you even step inside.
