Thanks, I really enjoyed this. As a student in Edinburgh in the, eeek, 80s, I used to go down to London on the overnight bus if there was an exhibition on I wanted to see, wander round Covent Garden (The Photography Gallery, the Africa Centre) and head back on the next night bus. Cheap and not at that age exhausting. Early morning city used to be great. I'm always amazed these days just how full the centre always is with tourists.
You've captured the day so well. I love an 'inspiration jaunt' to London. My next one is in July when I've booked a tour to see the Space House and a couple of exhibitions.
A wonderful wander through the city. The morning light is magical and I love that fairy tale view from St James’s Park, which disintegrates if you try to approach it.
Thank you! That view from St James’s Park was so surprising, I had never seen anything like it before. Really want to know what buildings are involved.
Great photos!
They reminded me of when I was a teenager, wandering aimlessly around London.
Did you have a few pints in the Sekforde?
Thank you! You should go back and wander. Alas, no pints in the Sekforde but hopefully next time.
Thank you for taking us along! It has been too many years since I visited London.
Would love to see it again someday.
The image of the hawk killing the pigeon is incredible. What a sight!
It was certainly a surprise to me!!!
Tony Ray-Jones was amazing. Better than MP IMHO
It did really make me want to get a photobook. MP has a LOT of those.

I've still never done the overnight bus, but I'm tempted. It's all so very stimulating! Just need to get away from the mega tourist areas.
What a great day-trip! You hit some great spots and got some great photographs to boot! Nice. Looking forward to your next visit!
Looks like a very positive day indeed 👍
I read many negative comments about the capital.
Great photo collection.

Thank you!
I thought you were talking about Jencks's Cosmic House, but Space House looks more up your street! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_House
I will try and book Cosmic House too!
I love the way you have taken the first three photographs.
Thank you! They are the only ones taken purely as photographs (the light!) rather than for their content.

I will try again to figure it out next time I am in the area. It’s an elusive task, but perhaps it’s not impossible!
Fabulous images! Wtf with those Union Jack's?????
thank you! haha yes it feels very dystopian
Thanks Jordan!
