The 38 to Clapton Pond

The door of St Paul's by night… This blog features photos snapped with either a Canon 500D or an iPhone6 as I make my way Londoning around leading & researching my tours. I hope you enjoy them. If you'd like to join me on a London tour, you can book me here… Keep In Touch…      

Sculpture by St Paul's, the work of Emily Young who, as a young woman, provided the inspiration for Syd Barrett to write Pink Floyd's See Emily Play .

A Christopher Wren spire from 1687, all that remains of Christ Church Greyfriars, destroyed on the night of the 29th December 1940. Four other Wren churches burned that night. Shot from what was once the nave of the church, the bombed-out shell is now a public garden. (Taken: 21:45 Tuesday 27th October 2009)
