Having planned my day long before, i went to London Transport Museum, The V&A and did some shopping aswell as other research!
First stop was the V&A museum to see Club to Catwalk exhibition, which was rather small and as usual no photos or sketching were allowed, so i was sure to take down the designer/collections that inspired me hoping at the end there would be postcards to buy of what interested me. However the postcard pack of 12 was £6.50!! rather expensive and it didn't really include many of the outfits that i liked.
So before returning to uni a week on Monday I am going to search the internet for images from my notes.
Some images I've found c/o http://www.disneyrollergirl.net
After the V&A I went on to Covent Garden to The London Transport Museum, which has always been something that has interested me, the history of the different tube maps especially. And with the Tube Poster Exhibition on at the minute there was more of a reason to visit the museum. Most times i go London and end up in Covent Garden and i visit the Museum shop to have a nose so it was only right to actually visit the museum this time, with 2 for 1 voucher, at £15 each it was costly, but would have been worth that!
I took so many pictures at the museum, although the section solely on the tube map was closed for refurbishment i still sneaked some pictures from the barriers! The exhibition on the posters was also interesting seeing the comical sentences used and how they have changed today.
I also visited Oxford street for some shopping and to see The Selfridges window displays which are always worth going to see!
As well as some of the architecture around London!
I have been collecting many different images throughout my summer time off uni from online, magazine cuttings and also from right on my doorstep - the village i live in!
Visiting London has gave me an insight into what i find inspiring as well as gave me more images!
