Been doing some research on derelict pubs in London and I came across this fantastic gallery by Chris Amies, who has photographed 172 pubs that have closed in the capital. The picture is one of my favourites - great name for a pub. Just such a shame that it’s one of so many that have been bulldozed in recent years. Can’t help but think the new ‘beer bars’ that are opening in London - like BrewDog Camden and Mason & Taylor - should be saving some of these historic buildings rather than taking over shop/bar buildings.
With the Republican presidential nominee race finally nearing the end (it is nearly the end, right?) news orgs are pumping out their graphic interpretations of the twists and turns so far.

Love this illustration by Fernando Suárez - and it seems particularly apt today after James Murdoch said that tablets are not a way to “carry the web around” but “for the newspaper business it’s an incredible new paper stock.” The newspaper industry is pinning much of their hopes for the future on iPads, Kindles and whatnot. I just hope their right.
