I couldn’t contain my amusement to see in your In the Gallery section of BD, an exhibition at the Design Museum titled A Celebration of Under-appreciated London Buildings.

London-centric, us? Cullinan’s Maggie’s Centre in Newcastle.

Given that BD is almost entirely given over to coverage of any building works completed in the capital to the exclusion of all works outside the M25, I take it you and your colleagues take this as something of an affront to your efforts and professional abilities.

May I suggest you take this metaphorical slap in the face as an exhortation to work harder and more diligently in your devotion to London-centrism.
