An exhibition of photographs by Stephen Taylor on the theme of cycling to the end of the road.
Stephen is a cyclist as well as a photographer. For this project he combined his interests to explore the route from London, a busy city, eastward through the hinterland of the suburbs, out into the Essex countryside and finally to where the road turns into a gravel track and then ends at St Peter’s Chapel, Bradwell on Sea, on the edge of the sea.
“As a cyclist I have always been fascinated by roads. I have been attracted to their potential – where they start and where they could take me – so I thought I would use my photography to explore this journey. I have lived in London for many years and very early on I learned how to escape, to find the roads out through the suburbs where eventually the housing would fall away, and fields and woodland would take their place. Then I became interested in the idea of continuing as far as the road could take me – until it petered out and became no more.”
Stephen is a self-taught photographer. He uses it to explore, understand and relate to the world around him. His photographs have appeared at the Lauderdale House annual photographic exhibition as well as the RPS London Region members’ exhibition. He has also had a one-person exhibition in 2017 in Weymouth, Dorset on the old tramway that used to run through the center of the town.
Join us for our weekly Life Drawing class at Lauderdale House, taking place every Friday during Term Time.
Having the choice between 2 models – one maintaining longer poses (up to 1 hr) and another offering shorter poses (4 to 15 mins) – makes this class quite special. Sharon Finmark, our tutor, is available to offer support and expertise responding to the individual needs of the class.
This is a drop-in session, so no booking is necessary. Bring your own materials, paper on sale.
Attendance costs £15 (concessions £12).

Fleas and Cheese: The Great Plague & Fire Show – 2pm to 3pm, Sunday 23 FebruaryIn honour of Heritage Weekend, this interactive fun one-man show by Tales of the Plague brings the history behind the plague and the Great Fire of London to life. Suitable for 5 to 11-year-olds. Book tickets in advance to guarantee entry.
Join members of our resident Chamber Opera Ensemble Insieme for a recital of songs based on the music and poetry of Highgate residents Liza Lehmann and Christina Rossetti. In honour of Heritage Weekend, this special 45 minute performance connects local history with these incredible women.
Highgate Cemetery hosts the graves of several distinguished Victorian women including Lehmann and Rossetti. After her death Lehmann’s work was largely forgotten except among professional singers. However, with the revival of interest in women composers, her compositions can now be heard in recitals again. Some of her songs have even been set to poems by Rossetti.
Rossetti has close ties with the local area. In early 1859 she began volunteering at the St. Mary Magdalene Penitentiary in Highgate, a charitable institution for the reclamation of ‘fallen’ women. By the summer of 1859 Rossetti was devoting a good deal of time to her work at the institution, and its influence can be seen in her poems about illicit love, betrayal, and illegitimacy. This short recital features settings of her work by Michael Head, John Ireland, Arthur Somervell and Hubert Parry.
