London Jan 2013 B&W Photos
Vicki and I spent last weekend in London. I had a business meeting on Friday night and she was in London at school. We stayed near The Tower of London. We visited the Courthauld Gallery at Somerset House. Later we took in the new Manet exhibition at the Royal Academy on Picadilly. I took along my Yashica TLR and some B&W film.
Vicki at Somerset House
This is the staircase at the Courthauld.
New building in front of an old church. This is typical of London. The old and new cheek to jowl.
All Hallows Church near Tower Hill. Looking out a North Facing Window.
Temple Bar the border between The City and Westminster. This used to be a toll gate between the commercial part of the city and rest of it. It is also where Fleet street becomes the Strand.
Aldgate Tube station.
St Paul's Cathedral, always impressive.
St_Dunstan-in-the-West, another church along Fleet street. In the alcove on the right is a clock where the bell is struck by two men with clubs. They are Gog and Magog from the Old Testament. This clock was the first clock with minute hands in London.
This is the Royal Courts of Justice where many important trials are heard.
A view from Waterloo bridge with the London Eye, Big Ben, and Parliament.
