Visiting Old Street and its surroundings
after an interval, I am struck as always
by how London marvellously reinvents
itself. Instead of a wide and thunderous
dual carriageway, I found this:
Uplighters, alfresco seating and bike racks
Neat rubbish collection
Alfresco tables that double as tree protection
Tree protection that works
An urban dreamscape, in the heart
of commerce. Hats off to the Metropolitan
Borough of Finsbury (London Borough
of Islington)

I haven't passed down that way in so many years. I'll certainly check it out when I go back to the UK. Thanks for posting the pictures. Urban dreamscape it is.
