Not the best time of year for a day in London, especially when it's cloudy and a cold 5°C. But the play I wanted to see had only one date left for a matinee. And an exhibition for one of my favourite movie directors was too good to miss. The Wes Anderson Archives are superb. The images below are a mixture of my photos and stock images. Somehow my camera settings went off the grid in my walk around the first part of the exhibition.
The displays are in the order of his films, starting with Rushmore. I should say that the first things we did see were from his first short film, Bottle Rocket.
Rushmore (1998)
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
The Fantastic Mr Fox (2009)
Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
The Isle of Dogs (2018)
The French Dispatch (2021)
Asteroid City (2023)
The Phoenician Scheme (2025)
I have to say that the presentation of costumes and so many other objects was exceptional. Those above are just a representation of what is on display.
As for the journey, the train was quite busy, as it was half term. I had to catch the train from Tring, as the Chiltern Line had a bus replacement for part of the route. (Thanks to Alison for the lift, which was fortuitous as the car park was full). The Underground was fine to Holland Park station, so a walk across the park to the Design Museum. I found a seat in the cafe for a nice early lunch. Then a walk back across the park after taking this photo on Kensington High Street of what was the huge Odeon Kensington and is now fancy apartments.
