Little Venice

Regents Canal meets the Grand Union

It takes longer to walk to Paddington by the canal but it is so worth it at the end of the day

Storm approaching

Earlsfield

I do love a thunderstorm

Canal route

Grand Union Canal

It's a good lunchtime walk, up to the canal along and back

Steel garden

Godiman Street

Modern steel next to St Paul's Cathedral.  The contrast is what London's all about..

30 Degrees outside

Baker Street

But here, down in the dark, we wait for the breeze that announces the tube is coming

Lines

Royal Oak

Royal Oak is an island surround by railway tracks and overhead cables

How summer should be

Little Venice

This should be me, not the person loaded down with shopping wondering if she'll miss the train.

Summer shade

Southwark Street

It's a print of a photograph, the day was so hot outside, one of the few times I've been grateful for air conditioning in the office.

Overground home

Hammersmith Bridge

Tourists really irritating you as they cram into the Tube, standing on the wrong side of the escalators?  Catch a bus.  And the real shock was that I got home at the same time.  Without the hassle.
