Look up, young man

Many years ago, a wise man once advised me to look up when walking round cities. I have been following his advice ever since and have the bruises to prove it! However, when you do raise your eyes above your fellow pedestrians and the Starbucks and Subways, you often see some quite wonderful buildings. This is the Cavendish on West Street, a cavernous theme pub popular with students. The building itself above the bland plate-glass of the pub is quite astonishingly elaborate.
