5. Hurwundeki Café, East London
The magic of this place might be the sweet-musty smell of the tunnel or the amazing BLT+M(ozarella) sandwich, but what personally rocks my pumpkin carriage is the fact that all the furniture in the café is on sale, including the benches in the garden and shelves their cakes are displayed on.
Found on a blog full of beautiful photography, Park & Cube

8. Surreal Collages (these are not photographs)
“If ever an image were to make you look twice, these intricate and infinitely layered digital collages from Womankind by María María Acha-Kutscher will do it. Yes, collages! Composed with hundreds of tiny fragments from the internet, magazines, books and the artist’s own photographs, each image is principally concerned with the two key historical moments for women’s emancipation; the British suffrage movement of the early twentieth century, and the introduction of the pill in the 1960s.”

9. Cementland: The Unfinished Adventure Land for Mischievous Adults
Viewed from the fence with the “no trespassing” sign, the site seems drab and unremarkable: plant operations ceased in the late 1970s… In 2000, a man named Bob Cassilly rode his bike past the old Lafarge site. He saw the abandoned buildings … and had an overwhelming thought: I need to buy this place and turn it into a cement-themed adventure park where you can do all the things you’re not supposed to do…
For 11 years, Cassilly worked steadily on transforming the location, often shifting piles of dirt himself with a bulldozer. He built the castle. He constructed gazebos, installed bridges between the drab old buildings, and dug a lake where his future visitors could paddle canoes… Then, on September 26, 2011, it all came to an abrupt end. Cassilly was found dead at the site, his bulldozer having tumbled down a hill in a freak accident. He was 61…Cementland — the dream; the playground; the big, weird place where you could be a naughty kid again — lies silent and unfinished.
