Across to 5 Broadgate, the new UBS HQ, for an opening event, including a talk by the building’s architect, Ken Shuttleworth of Make, followed by a tour of the UBS collection of artworks – including a considerable number of etchings by Lucian Freud.
I asked the first questions, about the recyclability of stainless steel (a key material in the building’s cladding) and Make’s take on Brexit – and got great answers.
Then we walked across to Ottolenghi‘s in Spitalfields for supper with Ingvild Sørenesen and, from our side, Jacqueline, the Richards and Sam. Spotted a tiny mouse under a hedge as we passed the church of St Botolph Without Bishopsgate.
