A lovely review of A Walk in the Park by Daisy Dunn in The Times – ‘a worthy paean to the importance of parks to British life. His book is impassioned, informative and just a little bit cool.’

Conducting the post-screening Q&A of High-Rise with Ben Wheatley, Jeremy Thomas and Bea Ballard at the British Library on Friday 11 March 2016.

Speakers include John Grindrod, author of Concretopia: A Journey Around the Rebuilding of Postwar Britain, architect Charles Holland and blogger Andrea Klettner.
