- For
- Readers curious about infrastructure and the built environment
- Worth noticing
- The page counts 4,300 substations in Greater London, then says it has opinions about roughly nine.
Field notes
The first issue is laid out as five pieces, including a feature on substations, field notes on pipes, a bridge roundup, and a reader mailbag about local construction. The archive lists six more dispatches, with titles ranging from a pylon with a fan club to reading a city through its manhole covers. Two additional guides appear as coming-soon placeholders rather than developed topics.
