    Down the Tubes

    Down the Tubes

    Sorry, but I couldn’t resist the pun. This was taken in the gorgeous blue tunnels of Embankment Underground Station. We pass through these areas so often, but rarely appreciate their abstract nature. See more from this shoot at my www.London-Prints.com website.  

    London 2012 Olympics - One Year to Go #2

    London 2012 Olympics – One Year to Go #2

    The Royal Park in Greenwich will be the site of the Equestrian Events of the London 2012 Olympics. This was the scene earlier this month for the London Olympic 2012 Equestrian and Modern Pentathlon Test Event, with the National Maritime Museum and Canary Wharf beyond. It at least gives you an idea of how things [...]

    London 2012 Olympics – One Year to Go #1

    We can finally count the time until the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games in days, not years. While the main site is still difficult to access and not so pretty due to ongoing construction, we’re getting an idea of how everything will look once finished. Here’s a detail from the Olympic Stadium. [...]

    London Business Shuns Vulgar Displays of Wealth

    London Business Shuns Vulgar Displays of Wealth

    I guess these guys in London’s Canary Wharf yesterday hadn’t got the memo! As one of a pair of luxury yachts at the quay, they stood out as the only vessels in sight. But does the Champagne really taste better aboard one of these, rather than out of a plastic mug in a rowing boat? [...]

    Wedding Day!

    Party Decorations

    Party Decorations

    One week from the Royal Wedding of Kate and William and London is in party mood. This was the scene on Regent Street yesterday. The sun was out and the crowds were enjoying the decorations.

    London Cuisine

    London Cuisine

    Visiting another country is about more than just sightseeing. So much of a country’s culture is about the food. Here is a variation of the much maligned (and much enjoyed!) Full English Breakfast. I’m happy to say, I did manage to eat most of it, washed down with that mug of tea! So should I [...]

    Spring has Sprung in London

    Spring has Sprung in London

    Buckingham Palace, resplendent in Spring flowers. Of course, this will be a dull show in comparison to the decorations for the Royal Wedding of Kate and William, taking place in just five weeks, on the 29th April 2011. If you’d like to purchase a Canvas Print or Poster of this image, please click here for [...]

    Sunset behind Big Ben

    Sunset behind Big Ben

    One of the classic views of London… clear sky at sunset. Even more stunning at the beginning of Spring, after the dark days of Winter.

    Autumnal Sun
    Autumnal Sun

    With sun dappling the fallen leaves, this has to be the prettiest time of year in Hyde Park.

    The leaves have turned
    The leaves have turned

    All around the parks of London, the leaves are now turning, Autumn is in full swing. I even watched one of Green Park’s self-assured squirrels dragging arm-fulls of leaves to its Winter hideaway, half way up one of the trees in the photograph.

    The first leaves are turning
    The first leaves are turning

    I was shooting the Changing of the Guard today, but perhaps more interesting was the fact that the leaves are starting to turn in St. James’ Park. This Autumn is expected to be particularly colourful, though while there are deckchairs out, I’ll carry on fooling myself it’s summer!

    City Hall’s Helical Staircase
    City Hall's Helical Staircase

    The Spiral Staircase at London’s City Hall. The structure delights the eye and boggles the mind. From every angle, there’s another pleasing intersection of curves and lines. This image is one of my favourites, from probably a record number to be shot at such a small location.

    Raindrops keep falling on my lens…
    Raindrops keep falling on my lens...

    This is the first of what I hoped would be a great themed group of Rain in London. Of course, since I shot this, not enough rain has fallen for people to up their umbrellas. The joy of travel photography… never quite the right weather! NEW – This image is now available to License at [...]

    St Paul’s and The City
    St Paul's and The City

    I’m sure I could come up with some clichéd words about dark clouds hanging over The City, but I shall resist the temptation! NEW! Now available as Prints or Posters at www.London-Prints.com

    All about Albert
    All about Albert

    The Royal Albert Hall was envisaged by Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s consort. Sadly he died, in 1861, before it was completed. The grieving Victoria commissioned the adjacent Albert Memorial in his memory. Both were completed in the early 1870′s and, although of very different and extravagant styles, compliment each other perfectly. NEW! Royal Albert Hall [...]

    St. Paul’s Cathedral
    St. Paul's Cathedral
