Best View

Millenium Bridge looking east

It's not waterloo that has the best view of the river and London.  It's this

Reflections in the 381

Southwark Street

One in two forty

Blackfriars Road

Number One Blackfriars reflected in 240 Blackfriars, both lean out, one soft and sharp edged

Shine no more

Redcross Way

Turned off, disused and overgrown.  The traffic still flows one way past it, but no longer needs controlling

Shard in the morning

Approaching Blackfriars

The Shard towers over the graffiti and brickwork of the backstreets

Stop work

Park Street

This site at the back of Borough Market has been re-developing for a long time.  Stop work, love to.

Pink and grey

View east from Southwark Bridge

Diffuse light flattens everything in a pink and grey morning on the Thames

Under the arches

Union Street

The building work is finally finished and the planting in front of the arches is great.

Embankment Walk

Southwark Bridge

Because the river curves walking by it is never the shortest route.  But it is the most pleasant

Solitary at Southwark

Southwark tube

Just the one, for a few seconds before the next train unloads

Unnoticed for years

197 Blackfriars

It's amazing the things I don't notice, even though I pass them everyday.  Like the blue light underneath the overhang on 197.  But then, like most of us, I'm hurrying past at ground level.  Just don't ask about the hoardings.  The bit where I stop and ask myself  'What was there before they knocked it down?' 

Sacred and profane

Southwark Bridge

St Pauls and the Financial Times building

Bankside lights

Bankside

According to Wikipedia 'Bankside' is recorded in 1554 as the Banke syde and means 'street along the bank of the Thames'.  These days it's jammed with tourists and school journey parties to The Globe Theatre, but in the morning it is a pleasant walk

Morning on the river

Millennium Bridge

When I look down and see this, part of me asks 'Swop jobs would you?'

Change of meaning

Redcross Way

I have no idea what this poster originally said, it has been decaying for years.

The scruffy end

Southwark Street

Part expensive up by the Tate, part scruffy as it approaches Borough, a place the tourists never see as they stick to walking along the river

Two Moderns

Sumner Street

The modern glass of the expensive flats contrasting with the heavy dull brick of the museum.  Both ugly in their own way.
