Not quite a cycling theme but a very good place to cycle to for a free exhibition of art. I know that people like Terry and Norman used to work for British Aerospace at Kingston and now you can see two of the most successfully British Planes ever built and still serving with our RAF and RN. It's a staggeringly impressive piece of art. As I came home on the train last night I read the Evening Standard only to read that Tate & Lyle's London sugar and golden syrup refinery on the Thames at Silvertown is being bought by the American Sugar Refining Company! Yet another part of our heritage and industry falls into foreign hands like Cadbury. What I did not know was that the Tate Gallery was bequeathed to the Nation by the Tate sugar family. The exhibition is on until January 2011.
