Illustrator and designer Ferry Gouw has lived in this block of flats in High Street Kensington for over two decades. Known as Festival House, the brick and tile-clad block was built in 1951 to coincide with the Festival of Britain and represented a futuristic view of what modern living could mean. After 17 years of living in a flat on the ground floor, Ferry bought this fourth-floor flat in 2014 with his wife, the photographer Katie Bagley, and set about creating a calm and flexible space with the help of their architect friend Tom Rowland. As the flat comes on the market, Ferry reflects on his design of the space and tells us why it’s been the perfect place to bring up their one-year-old son, Rei.

The Drinks Business
15 December 2020 By Phoebe French
Greater London as well as parts of Essex and Hertfordshire will move to tier three restrictions from tomorrow, placing further pressure on the hospitality sector.
The Churchill Arms in Kensington had put up its usual mass of Christmas decorations
The new restrictions will apply across London’s 32 boroughs, the City of London, Basildon, Brentwood, Harlow, Epping Forest, Castle Point, Rochford, Maldon, Braintree, Chelmsford, Thurrock, Southend-on-Sea, Broxbourne, Hertsmere, Watford and Three Rivers.
The government said yesterday that data shows an “exponential rise in confirmed cases in these areas”, which resulted in earlier action than the original scheduled review date of 16 December.
