Wait a minute, are we in 1895? The @bishopsgateins Wait a minute, are we in 1895? The @bishopsgateinstitute hasn’t changed at all 😅

Architect Charles Townsend (or should we use his pseudonym, ‘Arts and Letters’) was recruited to curate designs for this landlocked site, where once stood an imposing Roman gate to the City. Embracing the Arts and Crafts movement, he incorporated their ideals of ornate decoration into his work, with glorious mosaics and tiling. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the building’s grand arched entrance is reminiscent of the Roman gate itself?

And you’d be right to think ‘wow, doesn’t this beauty remind me of @whitechapelgallery ?’, because Townsend left both architectural legacies here in Aldgate! So next time you fancy a dose of culture, pause outside for a moment of cream-bricked appreciation first.

Know the spot? Goodman’s Fields isn’t just a Know the spot?

Goodman’s Fields isn’t just a place to catch a movie or enjoy a five-star meal. It’s a seven-acre, award-winning food, drink, health and entertainment destination, right here in Aldgate East. Here are three things we bet you didn’t know about the site:

The infamous highwayman Dick Turpin got into a shootout here in the 1700s
Before the site’s recent redevelopment, it was an old postal sorting office
All the food, drink and entertainment businesses have hundreds of 4-star (and higher) endorsements on Google - not too shabby, eh?

So, if you don’t know the spot, you’re missing out 🐎

📍 Goodman’s Fields, E1
