| The Candy Boys name-maker |
More of the City Lit tour (Rich Pickings) of West London - this week we were in an area that epitomised the
Rich.
Seeing the flats of One Hyde Park it's slightly staggering to learn of the success and wealth of The
Candy Brothers (in the
news today ) they're surprisingly young and have paid (perhaps less surprisingly) little tax.
This development put them on the map(and one of them's married to
Holly Valance).
Just by the flats is a store associated with Bling and a facade reflecting it.

It was nice to see a pub that reflected an important London figure in the naming of Paxton's Head. Paxton for who the pub was named famously had engineer Brunel working for him in
Crystal Palace days

Earlier on the course we saw one of the places where the US born
Jacob Epstein lived in London (Near one of the homes of Winston Churchill) - seems he was a vibrant and exciting person and some of that excitement is captured in his final work - moved as a result of corporate HQ building but still suggesting the family in their pursuit of some open space - with a Pan figure included .
