I stayed in London at the TravelLodge at City Airport on Tuesday night for an office Christmas party. I got up before sunrise the next day (though still got a lie-in compared to the normal time I need to get up to catch the train!) and headed down to the Thames Barrier – this is the…
“Mr and Mrs Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear, for Paddington was the name of the station.” – quote from “Please Look After This Bear” in “A Bear Called Paddington” This photograph was taken a week or…
A photograph taken in Hyde Park yesterday after a particularly cold start (-3°C at home), though here in London it was probably only around freezing. Still, it made for some frozen grass and a nice mist – and it looked great with the low sun through the trees. Edited in Lightroom 5.6 – adjusted white…
A photograph taking during a lunchtime walk last week – taken from what remains of the East India Dock on the north side of the River Thames in London, looking south towards the O2 Arena on Greenwich Peninsula – I had intended for it to be a long exposure shot – the wind was…
This is a photograph that I took this lunchtime – it was taken from Wood Wharf, Isle of Dogs, London looking towards the offices in Canary Wharf. I have been wanting to take a shot like this for some time – obviously to be able to do this, you need water and over the last…
This is the view from Stave Hill, Rotherhithe, London looking from roughly north-east to south east. Amazingly, this man-made hill is only 10 minutes walk from Canada Water Tube station and, apart from Canary Wharf, you might not realise that you are in the London at all, let alone a city! Click on the photograph to…
This is an slightly misty, early(ish…about 08:00) morning photograph taken a week or so back -I spotted the top the mast as I came out of the Underground at Canary Wharf, so decided to take a look. This is the Super Yacht Christopher berthed at South Dock, Canary Wharf, London – the mast is little under…
…next to the Thames Path in Rotherhithe! Saw this elephant hiding in a garden above me while walking along the Thames path last week – I was walking from Bermondsey to Canada Water (not by the most direct route!) for a sunny lunchtime walk scouting for future photo possibilities – I could so easily have missed…
This is Greenland Dock, Rotherhithe, London. Originally built between 1695-99, it was originally built for the refitting the ships of the East India Company – later, it was extended and linked with Surrey Docks (long since redeveloped and now is the site of Surrey Quays shopping centre). Most of the docks of Rotherhithe have been…
I went over to Canada Water for a walk yesterday lunchtime and walked round Greenland Dock – on the way back to Canada Water tube station, I passed this under a bridge walking back to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre from the north-west corner of Greenland Dock – certainly, if it is not a ‘Banksy‘, it…
