Holloway Road must be one of my least favourite localities in North London. Apart from Daniel Libeskind's design for the Graduate Centre at London Metropolitan University, it's unremittingly drab and characterless. Yet, pretensions are high, as evidenced by the renaming of this luxury apartment development, a refurbished Victorian schoolhouse where, until the developers moved in, you could, in fact, sign up for evening classes in modern foreign languages.

What an amazing building. I think I would like to take a couple of walks with you through London to discover the city's art treasures and oddities
