#1 Tom Bloxham : Hammered Concrete, Barbican

26 November 2020



#1: Tom Bloxham MBE, chairman and founder of Urban Splash.

London is a wonderfully eclectic city. And the texture of our buildings lends something to the bigger fabric of the city. As we’ve all been locked down and cooped up, perhaps like us you’ve been paying more attention to the surfaces around us.

For Texture in London, a project by LFA and Equitone, we asked some of our friends and partners to tell us about their favourite textures in London and record a short video explaining the reasons for their nomination.

For his nomination, Tom selected the hammered concrete of the Barbican.
