This week I remembered just how beautiful @ExploreWellcome’s Reading Room is. So, HEI folk, I want your recommendations please. Best places to perch & work in #London with:

🛜 @eduroamUK
⛔️ card-free access

☕️ coffee nearby
🔌 sockets
🛋️ comfy chairs

Many historic homes introduce upstairs/downstairs interpretation which can stereotype the have & have nots. The interventions at Ballantine House @NewarkMuseumArt instead celebrate SUCCESS STORIES of local black women living down the street to evoke a real moment in time. 👏 ❤️
