I never imagined I’d see a T-shirt that features The Clash and The Supremes in one sentence, yet here we are in Spitalfields Market in London. Good coffee at Mamma’s Goodies too!

I visited London briefly during the summer with some friends and Piccadilly Square was one of our destinations. There were so many people from all walks of life gathered there it was a rich representation of life in the city. Tonight at Blarney Photography Club I gave a talk there about the trip with my…

A man and a woman look along the shoreline of the Thames in London, probably for old pieces of pipe which are common along there. Above us was the modern Blackfriars Railway Bridge, and of course off in the distance is the London skyline.

I love that this street entertainer is wearing such bright and distinctive clothes but I wish his knives were brightly coloured. Still, the reaction of (some) people was worth it even if the background is too busy to see the knives properly. Knives. He’s juggling knives over the head of a tourist lying on the…

I love this little dog’s pet carrier, but every little dog wants to walk and smell the world around them. When they get tired it’s time for a rest and this dog is spoiled with that pet carrier. As they should be. 🙂

When there’s CCTV everywhere and you just want a little privacy to check your phone, you have to hide from the cameras.

When you can take the train, you should probably take it rather than flying.

The Millennium Bridge has always been a bit of a drama queen – first it wobbled so much they had to shut it down, and now it’s serving up some of the most atmospheric shots in London. This long exposure captures something almost supernatural about the daily pilgrimage across the Thames, with ghostly figures drifting…

If you look up, you might see something towering overhead. Gleaming glass towers stretching up until they seem to pierce the clouds themselves.

An estimated 100,000 people joined the Trans+ Pride event yesterday in London as they marched from near BBC Broadcasting House, past Downing Street, and on to Westminster Palace to Parliament Square Gardens. It was spectacular & emotional to watch. “The message was clear: we will not be erased. Our existence is natural, historic, and enduring….
