FIELD NOTES

"It's like the experience of a cheap hooker - you either love it or hate it". And never forget, "Du bist in Deutschland, du musst Deutsch sprechen".

PLACES

Built in 1929, Kino Babylon was one of the favourite spots for night time photography. The surrounding area is also worth exploring, with quite a few surprise neon signs in a couple of the shops.

Behind a plain iron door tucked away on a side street is this speakeasy cocktail bar. Ring the bell to enter (if there's space).

Kastanienallee, Prenzlauer Berg

Kastanienallee, Berlin

It is one of the most popular promenades in Berlin with plenty of restaurants, independent boutiques and bars on both sides of the streets. Plenty of good food options - definitely the street that I miss the most from Berlin as well.

Friedrichstrasse Station in Berlin

Bahnhof Berlin-Friedrichstraße

Georgenstraße 14/17, 10117 Berlin

One of the regular photo spots, I loved the contrasts between the brown roof and iron structures (together with the shadows from the sun, if you're lucky).

Anya Hindmarch's Ice Cream Project

Museum der Dinge, Kreuzberg

11A Pont St, London SW1X 9EH

One of my favourite concepts for a museum so far, The Museum of things is home to a collection of 25,000 historically important design objects.
