The loss of the soft-lit splendour of London after dark

It’s time to stop ruining Britain’s countryside with drab, identikit houses and instead build real places with focus, heart and purpose

Art should matter in all its guises, above and below ground

The awe-inspiring cooling towers of our pensioned-off power stations should be preserved as monuments

Imagine an Airbus A320 being thrown around the sky as if it was a Spitfire

The new Great British Railways should abolish the garish sweet shop designs of today’s trains and look to the glorious liveries of the past
