Glad I caught the last days of an exhibition by Simon Bejer with Sunderland Collection at Tomasso (now closed). Simon is a graduate of City & Guilds of London Art School, where I’m a trustee, & I’m very lucky to own a work on paper by him.

With its trademark beige outer & tartan lining, the Burberry trench is an unmistakable fashion item. But how did it come to be so? One of my #TopPicks for Londonist, The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon is on display at V&A until 3rd January. Free to visit: buff.ly/HNAbpEL #LondonArtCritic

The Nature & Us gallery isn't technically new, though it's unlikely you've visited; it's been closed to the public since 1943 - but no more. One of my #TopPicks for Londonist, it's now open at the Natural History Museum. Free to visit: buff.ly/HNAbpEL #LondonArtCritic #MuseumVisit

These works sit somewhere between the real and the surreal and are brilliantly executed... One of my #TopPicks for @fadmagazine.com.web.brid.gy - Quentin James McCaffrey is on show at Alison Jacques until 3rd October. Free to visit >> buff.ly/84XweFv #LondonArtCritic #LondonExhibitions

After a week spent covering exhibitions in Cologne and Hamburg, I also had enough time to see some of the permanent museum collections in those two cities, and wanted to share some highlights.

I’ve not stayed on top of London Design Festival this year, but one initiative I enjoyed is part of Chelsea College of Arts... It has taken the Atterbury Flat, a space used to house visiting lecturers, & transformed it into a bright & fun experience. Read more: buff.ly/Zb0BO0R #LondonArtCritic

It’s the last few days to catch an exhibition of sound-led abstract paintings by Kate Mayer at the Florence Trust. It’s free to visit and on until 19th September.
