A blot on the landscape?
There was a time not too long ago when St Paul’s Cathedral was the tallest building within view of the River Thames. The wonderful piece of architecture famously designed by Sir Christopher Wren, took pride of place on the riverside skyline with the steeples of nearby churches standing in deference to their big brother. Then […]
Fortnum & Mason
As tradition dictates (well I did it last year anyway!) it is time to share the famous Christmas Windows. It is indeed beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Before The Lord Mayor’s Show….
I was walking past London’s Guildhall last night and noticed a lot of people dressed in their finery going there for a gala event. I then stumbled across the Lord Mayor’s ceremonial coach on display……
Every Cloud…….
Silversea’s luxury cruise ship Silver Cloud docked for its annual mooring alongside HMS Belfast situated between Tower & London Bridges. The scene was highly impressive, despite the less than ideal weather…….
I Don’t Like Mondays……..

Shaun the Sheep IV
I battled the half-term week kids for some more pictures of Shaun in the last few days of their London residency. This sheep hunt took me from Carnaby Street, down Regent Street, across Piccadilly Circus, through Covent Garden, over the Strand to Somerset House and finally along Waterloo Bridge to the South Bank and London […]
Flying Over London
A few days ago I posted some pictures of my recent travels along the Thames by riverboat. Another alternative way to see London is via the Emirates Air Line, a cable car connecting North Greenwich near the O2 Arena with Royal Victoria and its connections with the DLR. For a £3.40 supplement over your Travelcard […]
Shaun The Sheep II
London will be shorn of Shauns at the end of the month, so I have been out and about again to round a few more up before they flock off.
