London in monochrome
London is a huge, thriving city well known for its colourful emblems – the red of underground trains and buses, the golden hues of the Palace of Westminster and Tower of London and the blue of the Boris bikes. They are the lifeblood of many photographs and postcards. But the views and landmarks of this city also come across beautifully in black and white.
This selection of shots from the album brings together some of my own favourite places and frames.

Thank you very much, Richard. Ah, it’s worth going up that way with Battersea across the water. A lot of captures to be had.

Quite my problem too. A decent slab of time off work would help (though be careful for what you wish!)
