Recently it was staircases. Now it’s the moving variety, also found here in the heart of west London.

This man has the escalator to himself, and chooses to stride to the summit. It’s early morning and he’s dressed for work and on a mission. I’m not even noticed as I crouch at the foot of the moving staircase and wait for his moment of triumph.

This nifty piece of urban design – a covered outdoor escalator – is a gateway to a vast shopping complex which sits close to my doorstep. I’ll share more views from an early morning session there soon.
