The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

“Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton. A Diamond Jubilee Celebration” at the V&A until 22nd April

This exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London is showing some very lovely and intimate portraits of the Queen and other members of the Royal Family, certainly worth a visit.

Sir Cecil Beaton (1904-1980), one of the most successful and influential photographers of the 20th century,  has photographed almost every member of the Royal House of Windsor over a period of nearly fifty years.

He captured many important private moments in the Queen’s life, including her coronation and the birth of her children.
