DON BLACK is the lyricist of the musical Mrs Henderson Presents, which is playing at the Noël Coward Theatre ‘My favourite gallery is Leighton House Museum in Holland Park. It’s a magnificent place in which to admire pre-Raphaelite art. I love it because it is a cosy, intimate and homely gallery, and not at all austere.’ DON BLACK © TOMMY FARMER 46 | LONDON PLANNER
