Sandwell House
Sandwell House was owned by three generations of the Wachter family.

In 1655 William Hitchcock, merchant tailor, built a ’mansion house’ to the south of what was later known as Sandwell. Sandwell was held by three generations of Wachters, London merchants, possibly Jews, from c. 1649 to 1686. By 1762, a Mr Armine Snoxell owned the house and stabling. As West Hampstead developed at the turn of the 20th century, the house was demolished and Sandwell Mansions constructed on the site.

TUM Book Club: Tube Mapper Project
Photographer Luke Agbaimoni created the Tube Mapper project allowing him to be creative, fitting photography around his lifestyle and adding stations on his daily commute.

The Underground is the backbone of the city of London, a part of our identity. It’s a network of shared experiences and visual memories, and most Londoners and visitors to the city will at some point have an interaction with the London Underground tube and train network. Photographer Luke Agbaimoni gave up city-scape night photography after the birth of his first child, but creating the Tube Mapper project allowed him to continue being creative, fitting photography around his new lifestyle and adding stations on his daily commute. His memorable photographs consider such themes as symmetry, reflections, tunnels and escalators, as well as simply pointing out and appreciating the way the light falls on a platform in an evening sunset. This book reveals the London every commuter knows in a unique, vibrant and arresting style.
