Westfield fashion

The new Westfield Stratford is fantastic. Right next to the new Olympic Village the shopping centre is a real hustle and bustle of retail and dining. People watching here is addictive too.

Pearly Queens and Cheeky Rascals

There’s something reassuring and fascinating about the old and new in contrast with each other. From one corner in Covent Garden and this amazing and chirpy Pearly Queen to the outskirts of Soho and this tattooed fella with his pint. Both very British and very London. Fantastic mix.

Charing Cross Railway

On the move from South to North London I got this great capture of Lettering by the entrance to the former Blackfriars Road station in London.
The station was opened in 1864 and closed almost five years later in 1868 when it was replaced by the station now called Waterloo East. 24th November 2011.

Quirky in Liverpool Street

This guy was obviously employed to do a bit of marketing in Liverpool Street station. I liked the leotards in bright green.

My Beautiful London Skyline

I had a client meeting today which took me to the heights of their building and this spectacular view. With the Shard building up in the background and the iconic Gherkin and the beautiful Heron Tower in view, it was truly spectacular sight!

The Dame

I had a quick drink after work this evening and found a great pub in the back streets of Kings Cross. Inside this woman was having a drink to herself, all dolled up and looking like something out of the 50’s. It made me think what she was thinking about – the past, present or future and what the parallels are between her thoughts and mine. In any case it’s moments like that which ground you to humanity and our journeys in life.

Fashionista

Loved the walk and attitude of this woman in Oxford Street today. Yes I was caught taking the photo but the expression in her face hardly changed. Fantastic Look.

My parents stuff

Last weekend I thought I’d visit my parents in North London. I love their place as it’s full of some strange, wonderful and nostalgic items which make great photos. They are very house proud and I’ve gained the same love of collecting quirky items to put on shelves…

Black and White

It’s been a black and white day today. I like the grit of how London and especially Soho looks in mono. Tomorrow will be a day of colour vibrancy through work but in life you need to balance things out don’t you…

East Bloc

It’s been over a year since I’ve ventured into the East End for a night out, but after a very hectic week, Friday night drinks were calling! Here’s a couple of photos from a very cool night.
