One of them left the address of the find, gifted by the river, as a neat conclusion. Or provocation for a further chapter. —Iain Sinclair Gifts Returned by the River (Swedenborg House Press, 2025) marks the latest collaboration between the acclaimed writer Iain Sinclair and Swedenborg House, and a new phase of extrapolation from the materials shored up by Albion Island Vortex, an exhibition staged fifty-two years ago at the Whitechapel Gallery. Akin to recuperating drowned Doves Press type from the Thames, Gifts Returned by the River creates acts of reconstitution and imagination using the case of memory. Collating responses to Iain Sinclair’s exhibition Histories & Hauntings (Swedenborg House Gallery, 2023)—itself a restaging and reworking of Albion Island Vortex—this ambitious publication incorporates multiform contributions from Alice Albinia, Renchi Bicknell, Javier Calvo, Brian Catling, Gareth Evans, Allen Fisher, Jürgen Ghebrezgiabiher, Jarett Kobek, Stephen McNeilly, Michael Moorcock, Louis Petit, Victor Rees, Anya Reeve, John Rogers, Adolfo Barberá del Rosal, Matthew Shaw, Iain Sinclair, Ben Wickey and Carol Williams. A limited first edition of 200 is presented in a tracing paper wrap, with two “gifts” enclosed inside. There is also the option to purchase a special edition of 26, signed and with extra material. A forthcoming standard edition is to be announced. Iain Sinclair is considered one of London’s greatest chroniclers. Iain’s early work consisted mostly of poetry which he published on his own small press, Albion Village Press. His novels include Downriver (winner of the James Tait Black Prize and the Encore Prize) and Dining on Stones (shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize). Non-fiction books, exploring the myth and matter of London, include Lights Out for the Territory, London Orbital and Ghost Milk: Calling Time on the Grand Project. For the Swedenborg Society he has written Blake’s London: The Topographic Sublime (2011); with Brian Catling, Several Clouds Colliding (2012); and Swimming to Heaven: The Lost Rivers of London (2013). He was also a contributor to Swedenborg’s Lusthus (2024). He has curated two exhibitions at Swedenborg House, Histories & Hauntings (2023) and Pariah Genius: John Deakin, The Psychobiography of a Photographer (2024).

Although this church was not established as a cathedral until 1905, some of the buildings in it date back to the 12th century, and there are also a large number of medieval art works.

I was so lucky that my trip to London coincided with Buckingham Palace&#39;s open day. Booking tickets on Ctrip was very convenient. I chose the 2pm show, watched the Changing of the Guards in the morning, and had lunch nearby. I was just in time to enter the palace. You can&#39;t take pictures of the magnificent interior, but you can take pictures of the Royal Gardens as much as you want!

The Regent&rsquo;s Park is located in the northwest of London, next to the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds. It is the second largest park in central London, second only to Hyde Park. The park covers an area of ​​more than 500 acres and was originally the hunting ground of Henry VIII. The park has gardens, lakes, rose gardens, courts and children&#39;s playgrounds. In addition to the London Zoo in the north, there is also an open-air theater, where Shakespeare&#39;s plays are often performed in the summer.

Spring Outings

Hyde Park was a delightful afternoon, the sun shining brightly, the lake clear, and the few visitors. The park itself is quite large, boasting a historic palace, white swans soaring in pairs, tourists leisurely basking in the sun, and adorable squirrels. The park has a natural feel, lacking any overt themes, simply offering a place to relax and experience nature. Once Britain&#39;s most renowned and largest royal park, it witnessed both the extravagance of the royal family and the progress of social civilization and the transformations of freedom and democracy. A spring visit should also offer a variety of flowers and plants.
