Top Shop was founded in Sheffield in 1964 at the Peter Robinson department store to appeal to younger shoppers and took its name from being on the top floor.
After it became a success a second Top Shop was opened on London's Oxford Street and the chain rapidly spread.

Mexico City-based studio Lanza Atelier describes its design for this year's Serpentine Pavilion in this exclusive interview with Dezeen.

Experimentation plays an important role in the studio's work and often involves a close engagement with local materials and lived experience.

Called 'a serpentine', the studio's design for the 25th anniversary of the annual Serpentine Pavilion commission draws on serpentine walls, also known as crinkle-crankle walls – a type of English brick garden wall.

The Pavilion will be installed outside of the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens from 6 June to 25 October 2026.

The future of housing!

Mid-rise, prefabricated timber frame with straw infill insulation, and a lime render.

Quick to build, and low carbon!

Designed with a prefabricated timber structure, with steel balconies. Access is via an internal walkway, meaning all homes are dual aspect.

[Sir John Soane's Museum 🏛️🖼️ @SoaneMuseum]

Every doorway is like a portal to another world✨

Soane’s clever design of No 13 Lincoln’s Inn Fields means that almost every space offers a carefully framed view into another, with unexpected sightlines across the house 🖼️

Where do you find yourself stopping to look?

[Visit London @visitlondon]

You’ve probably walked past this tiny London landmark without even noticing 👀⏰

Standing just outside Victoria Station is Little Ben — a 30-foot miniature version of Big Ben that’s been quietly watching over the streets since 1892.

Built by Gillett & Johnston as a replica of the famous Elizabeth Tower, Little Ben has welcomed travellers arriving into London for over a century, surviving station redevelopments and changing city streets along the way. It may be small, but it’s one of London’s easiest hidden gems to miss ✨
