Creamer and Lloyd

What inspires us

Everything we experience forms a part of who we are and what we do and therefore what we offer.  We rely heavily on the arts to inspire us and this is critical to us as individuals as well as a business.

Everyone at Creamer and Lloyd has their own budget for research and inspiration.  On a regular basis we share on our website the best experiences we’ve had.

  1. Hay on Wye Literary Festival

    An injection of ideas and stories in the most gentile of settings.

  2. Hipstamatic

    I have become somewhat obsessed with this brilliant iPhone app that harkens back to the 60's and 70's polaroid photography. The only photo app you will ever need.

  3. Hackney Podcast

    One of the finest examples of a podcast out there. Winners of the Sony Award for Best Internet Programme.

  4. Bone marrow at The Old Butchers

    Sitting like three tiny cooling towers in a field of green this dish was a simple balance of rich perfectly cooked local meat and the sweet sharpness of tiny capers, finely chopped parsely and sea salt.

  5. A trio of circus performances at the Roundhouse

    3 completely different performaces, from the etheral and beautiful to non-stop visual assault of literally breathtaking urban acrobatics with some serious booty-shaking in between.

  6. Lola Rojo (Northcote Road)

    Every mouthful was a surprise and a delight. And when the waiter says he has a cracking wine that's not on the list, you know you're in heaven - which we were.

  7. I am love

    Not because I loved it but because a friend went to see it twice and spoke about details I hadn't even noticed. This is what great art can do - reveal itself gradually, make sense over time, stay with you. I now urgently want to see it again.

  8. Centre Pompidou: Lucian Freud, l'atelier

    Proof that Freud is one of the greatest painters alive and as penetrating as ever
