London - 2024
Last week I spent a few days in London just hanging around, exploring new places that I've never seen or been to and just generally seeing how the city is changing and evolving.
I stayed in East London, at Stepney Green on Mile End Road, an area I kind of know a little having lived there back in the mid 80's.
The first whole day I spent walking 25km from Peckham in South London up to Hackney then back down to Whitechapel.
The second day I walked down to Limehouse Basin then walked up to Tower Bridge then around the city for another 20km's.
The third day I visited Kew Gardens for the 2nd time, 19 years after my first visit. I really enjoyed the Rock Garden and Treetop Walkway which wasn't there last time.
After I returned to central London to visit Gee Vaucher's exhibition at the Horse Hospital, a small independent art gallery just around the corner from Russel Square. She was responsible for most of the artwork and record covers from the band Crass who had a big influence on me back in the early 80's.
I then walked back to Stepney Green passing through the city and exploring even more, which, well, just never ends...

These images bring me back to the past .....ghostly and eerie at times, but rather inspiring
