Photo by me, they have a strong banner game.

The AA (no, not that one. Or that one.) has been teaching since 1847 and occupies eight of the terraced houses on Bedford Square.

If I were them I’d just tell the students to focus on building copies of Bedford Square across the country. Imagine if Milton Keynes was entirely Bedford Squares! It’d be… nice!

Anyway, the exhbition I went to was located upstairs in a bar which was full of students. As such it wasn’t really possible to see most of it and I fled the melee pretty quickly.
