Upwardly retail
This is not your average set of stairs in a shop. The Brewer Staircase, which opened in 1916, is found in furniture store Heal’s in the West End of London. Its dizzyingly hypnotic, elegantly illuminated spirals are a whirl of geometric wonder. Needless to say, it has been photographed endlessly, but this was not enough to stop me from capturing it myself. From lying flat on the floor at the base of the stairway to moments of vertigo at the top, this was an assignment to match Greenwich’s beautiful Tulip stairs.

Lovely set of photos again, Mike. Gorgeous Baubles too! Lying on the floor, though? Hope the store wasn’t too busy! ;)

Thank you Richard :) Thankfully I had the foot of the stairs all to myself, though I did get in the way of some customers on the staircase itself. I wasn’t lying down at that point, I must add.

I had visions of you being dragged off by the security guards, protesting your innocence in the name of art!

Thanks Koos :) This is a very famous one and has been photographed to death – but that’s because it’s worth it!

Thank you very much, Sarah. I suspect you know it well – well worth photographing even if millions of others have been there already.

The furrniture store is quite smart too, but I wasn’t really in a buying mood. I can’t imagine the staircase has changed too much.
