Making Play, Work.
St Bride Foundation, 6.30pm complimentary drinks for 7pm start.
——————
In this talk, Chris Clarke; Editorial Creative Director at The Guardian — explores the transformative power of play in creative work, leadership, and culture. Drawing from over 15 years at the heart of news design and storytelling, Chris weaves together personal projects, editorial campaigns, and global design challenges to show how curiosity, experimentation, and silliness aren’t distractions from serious work; but the beating heart of it.
Chris reveals how embracing play as a strategy has helped drive purpose-driven design at one of the world’s most trusted news brands. It's about purposeful play: building space for curiosity, risk, and experimentation inside complex systems and serious institutions. Because play isn’t childish. It’s radical. And in a world being flattened by algorithms and conformity, it might just be your biggest advantage. This is a talk for anyone trying to lead with creativity, protect originality under pressure, or simply remember why they started doing this in the first place.

This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It&#39;s grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won&#39;t want to stop until you&#39;ve seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

A place of great historical significance. You can learn about medieval castles, prisons, weapons and royal secret places, and see many royal jewels of England. It is a world heritage site that is worth checking in. It will take most of the day to take a closer look. You have to go to places that the tour groups don&rsquo;t check in by yourself.

一个被纠结的坎

Revisiting the Natural History Museum in London
The Natural History Museum in London, formerly the Natural History Department of the British Museum, officially became independent in 1963.
Climbing the magnificent spiral staircase, the mineral exhibition area on the right side of the second floor resembles a subterranean palace. Among the over 5,000 mineral specimens, the most stunning is the 3-meter-high amethyst wall&mdash;a perfectly cut amethyst cave from Brazil, shimmering with a dreamy purple glow under the light.
Here, nature is the greatest artist:
1️⃣ The legendary Hope Blue Diamond (replica), this 45.52-carat blue diamond carries a cursed legend.
2️⃣ The 563-carat &quot;Princess of Brazil&quot; topaz, like a beam of frozen sunlight.
3️⃣ The pigeon&#39;s blood rubies from Burma, each one a frozen flame.
Most magical are the fluorescent mineral displays: the stones, gray under ordinary light, suddenly burst into neon colors under ultraviolet light!
The meteorite exhibition hall houses the world&#39;s most complete collection of meteorite specimens. The most precious of these is the 4.5-ton Bakubiri meteorite, discovered in Namibia, Africa in 1902. Local tribes used it to forge spearheads. Touching these rocks from outer space allows you to feel the mysterious pulse of the universe.
-Don&#39;t forget to look up at the ceiling during your visit; the intricately carved botanical patterns are also part of the exhibits.
- Free guided tours are often offered on weekend afternoons; check the official website for specific times.
- From crystal palaces deep within the Earth to stardust gifts from the vast universe, this museum offers a glimpse into nature&#39;s most extravagant treasures. Here, every stone tells the story of Earth&#39;s 4.6 billion years.

Hyde Park

Spring Outings

爱飞的猫010

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.
