W
Reveling on the South Bank (London):
England's arts quarter takes in both the
1950s' beauty of the Royal Festival Hall (RFH) and the brutal modernism of the
National Theatre. Street theatre rubs shoulders with classic productions, and
there's usually something free in the grand foyer of the RFH. See chapter 4.
W
Discovering Discover Another Place (Lancashire):
A hundred figures cast in
iron from sculptor Antony Gormley's own body rise from the sand for 2 miles
along the coast at Crosby between Formby and Liverpool, and gaze eerily out to
sea. See p. 585.
W
Being enchanted by the Aldeburgh Festival (Suffolk):
You stand on the lawn
outside the Snape Maltings concert hall, looking over the swaying rushes of the
fens, boat masts bobbing; then you pop inside for the finest classical music, pos-
sibly conducted by the master, Simon Rattle. Spellbinding. See p. 522.
