Instigations as Arrant Industries. Honcho @arrantland. Co-honcho @nbhd_company. Waltham Forest DRP. Not really here any more. Find me elsewhere though.

Been thinking about how to depart Twitter, and celebrating the passing of another bit of dangerous right wing populist bullshit seems like as good an opportunity as any. Good riddance.

@mattdriscoll23 Ha. I do, but I was trying to stay as close to a direct quote as possible. I’m getting one in my en-suite!

I look forward to integrating this discreetly into any residential environment.

The custom-made recessed access floor hatch is the architect's friend. It can be integrated discreetly into any industrial, residential or commercial environment [AD] @surespan

@ClareDelmar @Rob_Fiehn @leannetritton @CarolineRussell @ageuklondon @loos4london @MPrinParr @ProstateUK @CrohnsColitisUK There are two being sold by Enfield council in the current Savills auction. The first thing to do might be to stop selling them off.

@MunicipalDreams I’m sure you’ve worked this out, but Google maps will show you buses accurately, and you can just tap in for €1.50 (for 60 mins). Super easy to speed along Colon / Gran Via.

Jardi Botanic also a nice, cheap and shady with Casa Fran a good place to take a break close by.

Leaving Valencia soon and sad to be leaving behind Plaça de Manual Granero. Incredible trees giving much-needed shade, variety of playgrounds, outdoor gym, loads and loads of seating and just the most welcoming positive vibes. Truly a common room for the neighbourhood.

@MunicipalDreams It’s literally the other side of the tracks, but El Observatorio would be my number 1 food recommendation (not open Mondays). Very well worth the walk/bus and actually in a very interesting non-touristy area (from there to Plaça de Patraix and Plaça Enric Granados).

[Duncan Blackmore @ArrantDuncan]

@MunicipalDreams The coffee at Los Picos next to Oli Bar is also very good.

Happy to answer specific Qs. I know the place too well to narrow recommendations down to a tweet’s worth.

Might just do the lower half of this one.

@barry_wizard Nice turn of phrase.

Wow Costa's Barbers is so amazing! Such a great civic presence and amazing story by the architects and developer who made it happen. Still open for dop-in visits to 3pm today 🌞✨

@ForbiddenAnkles @russellcurtis @LeonieC This might be the biggest case of preaching to the converted in history.

@PpeterPeter @robertkapok Totally agree Peter. It’s all tragically lazy and lacking in imagination.
