Much More Than Only Images: 12 Hidden Faces of London

Caminhando para 30.000 page views, um pouco da cidade que me adotou e que motiva este blog:


London is considered by many to be the one of the world’s most photogenic cities. Famous palaces, statues and river views create the backdrop for the perfect tourist photos.

Having lived close to London for a few years now, I have come to really enjoy taking a walk through the city’s lesser known parks and districts and discovering the many surprises that the city hides away from the spotlight. Here are just a few of the things we have found in the last month. All are within an hour’s walk of the centre of the city.

Michelin Building, South Kensington: art-deco before its time

Peace Pagoda, Battersea Park

New Zealand Memorial, Hyde Park Corner

Hyde Park, London (yes, this really is in the centre of London!)

Kyoto Garden, Holland Park

Colourful houses of Portobello Road

Sewing machines galore, in a clothes shop on Portobello Rd

Under the Thames: Greenwich Foot Tunnel

Traffic light tree, Canary Wharf

Home of Scott, the Antarctic Explorer, Chelsea - any offers?

MI6 Building - the home of the British Secret Service

Sailmakers House, Limehouses. One of the many historic buildings in London's Docklands
