Editor’s Letter Laura Burgoine

elcome to our fourth edition. In line with the annual Bermondsey Street Festival, our autumn issue is a celebration of dogs and design. As Bermondsey Street’s Grand Dame Zandra Rhodes marks 50 years in fashion, the Biscuit visits Zandra at her penthouse above the Fashion and Textile Museum to talk about her upcoming exhibition and the artistic neighbourhood she calls home. Michael Holland takes a walk down memory lane with Bermondsey Community Kitchen founder Mike Donovan, and we look back on 150 years of Southwark Park. Do come and say hello to us at this year’s Bermondsey Street festival where we’ll be giving out copies of the Biscuit. And to all our canine competitors entering this year’s Dog Show, you’re all winners in our eyes.
