London Photos

Back to the beginning



At last!
For a while now I've been getting up early in order to scan, fiddle, organise, upload and tag my photographs. There was a big backlog from the move, and it took a while to get them all done. So, to celebrate, I'm going to try and post every day with one or two photos, starting from way back in January when we first moved to London.

Travelodge view

We stayed at the Travelodge Hotel in Covent Garden, an old institutional hospital. I'd like to say 'converted' institutional hospital, but all they did was take down the 'X-Ray Department This Way' sign, slap a few corporate logos on the walls, and hey presto - overpriced hotel!

The two nice things about it was this view and the fact that it made us very, very motivated to find our own place.

The Northern Line

Despite warnings about the state of the Northern Line on the Underground, we focused our search along it in South London, because of its (relative) affordability and proximity to my family. Every day it seems to be a crush. We've become quite adept at either avoiding it through creative use of other connections, or accepting our fate and enjoying the ride sandwiched between City boys and girls.

Parliament Sq

It was from the bus that I was lucky enough to capture this nice light one afternoon.

"First Days In London"




A blog I wrote about our first few days is here.

The collection of all my recent photos is here, from where I will be grabbing my photos and blogging about them for the next few entries.
