Experiencing the quiet serenity of Bessborough Gardens, London, SW1, one wouldn't think that you were standing in a busy, capital city.

What this site shows is that we needn't build overly modernistic spaces and buildings all over the place when everything you see here was created in the 1980s.

Dolphin Fountain (officially known as the Queen Mother's Commemorative Fountain). Designed by landscape architect Sir Peter Shepheard during the 1980s redevelopment of the Pimlico square, it serves as the centrepiece of the public gardens.

If serenity and culture were put ahead of economic "growth," this could be a far more common sight and experience than it is.

The three charming ladies I'm standing with at London Victoria Station are 'The Wild Tonics' (@TheWildTonics).

They're a UK-based, 1920s Gatsby-themed close-harmony vocal trio known for reimagining modern pop songs and classic hits with a vintage twist. Originally from Yorkshire, the trio became an international act with rosters performing across London and Australia.

The Wild Tonics frequently perform onboard the Belmond British Pullman luxury train. @BritishPullman

The Belmond British Pullman is a luxury vintage day-trip train operating out of London Victoria station, featuring a collection of 11 restored 1920s and 1930s Art Deco carriages.

Considering how most people have become so engulfed by hypermodernity, it's absolutely lovely to see these ladies gravitating toward British history. As well dressed as they are friendly, they, like the Pullman, offer a lovely escape from modern life.

They're also on Insta. Give them a follow and some support. πŸ€πŸ†β³οΈ
