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. Fourtet at Village Underground

    Under the dimly lit railway arches a dark eyed DJ stepped up to the central podium. Without headphones, without bravado or pretense. His set started and the crowd exploded into a mass of joyfully dancing, swaying bodies, moving inexorably to his beats.

  2. London Assurance, Olivier Theatre

    This little known nineteenth century comedy by Dion Boucicault's was a complete delight. Filled with confused identity, bawdy bravado and some wonderful language, it felt like the actors were enjoying themselves as much as the audience.

  3. Rediscovering salad

    Secretts Farm had a stall at a market with a range of 6 different leaves, all different shapes, sizes, colours and tastes. If this is what salad is now capable of, why do we settle for the same boring stuff?

  4. Room 13 Studio at West Rise School, Eastbourne

    Children calmly making stop-motion films in their lunch break - drawings drawn, scripts written, roles all clear. Keeping it simple.

  5. Caravan, Exmouth Market

    Small plate dining at its most inventive and the sweetest coffee.

  6. Glastonbury 2010

    The Edge walking on stage at the start of Muse's encore and playing the opening of Where The Streets Have No Name. A moment of pure excitement, thrill and ultimately pleasure.

  7. Glastonbury 2010

    Each time Michael Eavis goes walkabout he's mobbed by people. Everybody just wants to personally thank him. On walking around with Prince Charles on the opening day, as many people wanted to shake his hand as the future Kings'.

  8. Electric Hotel, Sadler's Wells

    A beautiful dance piece in the most wonderful setting.

  10. Gelupo

    The finest ice cream shop in London.

  12. Tourettes sur Loup in Provence

    Ignore the coast (Nice, Cannes, Antibes) and head inland to the hill villages of which this is one. Fantastic views, unspoilt streets, shaded squares with boules in progress, artists at work in their studios, great little restaurants.

  13. Tawlet, Beirut

    A rotating set of local hill top chefs make this restaurant a total treat.

  14. Beirut

    A city that has reinvented itself despite the actions of its neighbours.
