The Green Sky Thinking Pub Quiz was the concluding event of the 2017 programme and was held at Pollard, Thomas, Edwards in Islington. Â The evening filled with booze, questions and laughter was a fitting conclusion to a successful series of events.
Walking the tranquil City: can travelling via urban tranquil areas increase our health and wellbeing in the City? Â This was the question posed by the team at Tranquil City as it lead a group of walkers along the noise and traffic of the highly polluted Holloway road in north London.
The group explored the open space very close to the road and discussed how area of parkland can invigorate local areas and relieve the street of urban arteries.

The Hackthon event was held at Feilden Fowles Architects, Lambeth, SE1 and consisted of four teams discussing and submitting proposals for the redevelopment of Brent Cross south in North London.  During the afternoon the teams presented their proposals to a panel of judges and the winner declared.

It was a brilliantly clear morning and I was looking forward to the post presentation coffee and pastries to capture some candid shots of the guests. However, we had been at the very top level for a short while when the fire alarm rang out. No, it wasn’t a fire drill but apparently the real thing. So thirty-five stories later we were all back on the ground having missed out on some great shots and breakfast.
