Van Gogh’s London: How the artist fell in love with the UK capital | The Independent

Van Gogh’s London: How the artist fell in love with the UK capital | The Independent
... A narrow wooden staircase (such as you might see in a Van Gogh interior) leads up to the second floor where Vincent lived in the front room. The rest of the house was occupied by his landlady, a little school she ran, and her 19-year-old daughter with whom Vincent seems to have fallen unfortunately in love. She was engaged to the previous lodger, and this disappointment may well have been the reason he eventually moved to a nearby boarding house in Kennington Road.  ...
... “With the Oval on his doorstep, it’s almost inconceivable that he never went – if only to see what English cricket was like,” says Martin Bailey, Van Gogh biographer and co-curator of the Tate exhibition. He may also have seen the game played across the road in Kennington Park as he walked on. Van Gogh loved London’s “splendid parks, with a wealth of flowers such as I’ve seen nowhere else”, and he regularly visited Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, where he watched the upper-classes parading along Rotten Row.   ...

Firefighter, Thames diver, athlete: Why Harlequins 'Hammer' Shaunagh Brown is learning on the job | London Evening Standard

Firefighter, Thames diver, athlete: Why Harlequins 'Hammer' Shaunagh Brown is learning on the job | London Evening Standard
... Brown has relished returning to Quins after “a very special few weeks” with England, in which they played at Twickenham and had remarkable attendances in Exeter and Doncaster. The players could feel the attention their sport was getting, says Brown, who thinks the big test is keeping people interested over the coming weeks in order to inspire kids to take up the game. All of which is relevant because Brown, who grew up in Kennington before her mother bought a house in Kent, was not even aware of the sport until her late teens when “rugby boys would come down in the summer and try shot put” at her college. She makes the quarter-century it took her to find the game sound seamless. ...
