“When I was a student there in the fifties, the Art School was located in Charing Cross Road… I only had to step into the street to find plenty to sketch: shop fronts, ornamental street lamps, wrought iron railings and red telephone boxes - all were full of London character and a challenge to draw. I drew on building sites, in barbers shops, in parks and squares. I stood on street corners and outside tube stations recording the life of the street.” (Michael Leonard)
