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 for sharing my gallery, Marian. Much appreciated!
Your Millenium Bridge shot is superb, really stands out but these are all smashing photos Mike.
Thank you very much, that’s really appreciated. I’ve just been leafing through your site – wonderful work. It must be a privilege to have such landscape on your doorstep.
The Millennium Bridge is a great shot.
Thank you very much Noeline, much appreciated.
Great shots – love the Chelsea one – I rarely venture that far upriver! :)
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.
I’ll add it to my list of places to visit! :D
It’s ever growing, right? My list never ends!
Haha… I never seem to have the time to visit them all, that’s the sad thing… :(
Quite my problem too. A decent slab of time off work would help (though be careful for what you wish!)
Definitely.. A true double-edged sword! :S

Thank you very much, Ana. I saw London on your blog so guess you’ve been here!
Yes, I visited in 2011 and really enjoyed it ;)
Glad to hear it. It’s a great city to visit and live in.
was in london recently and you have captured it brilliantly in monochrome. it’s a monochrome kinda city.
Thanks very much, Edwina. Yes, I think it’s bold enough to work in such a limited palate. Viva London!
