West End Beauties

The start of a series of neglected architectural beauties in and around the West End, this one is near the corner of Soho Street and Oxford Street: look at those windows - and the lease is for sale.

Urban chic

Imaginative reuse of a garage . . .

The Shard at Night

Recommended: a walk along the north bank of the Thames, companionably accompanied, after dark.

Quiet space

Structure

Sunflower forming

Pavement café

19th century London sometimes looks a bit squashed up when surrounded by brave new 21st century London but I'm glad it's there.

A quiet Mayfair lane to compensate for the insanity that is the Friday rush.

Brassica box

Nature in the city.
