Lavish interiors
I lived in London for 16 years before moving north to Manchester in 2016. For years I roamed around the capital city with my camera, going inside many beautiful buildings.
A favourite weekend of the year was when Open House London enabled access to many premises. There were so many lavish rooms to enjoy and photograph.
The coronavirus pandemic and lockdown has made photography more difficult. That’s why I decided to trawl my archive and revisit some favourite shots. Many have been re-edited to suit my evolving tastes and sensibilities, although architecture stands the test of time. Please enjoy!

Proof, if ever it were needed, that you should always look up! We spend SO much time glued to our phones that we miss much of the beauty around us.

Too true! Those of us that do look up have cricks in our necks :) These feel like golden oldies but it was worth dusting them down, especially in these times.

Some great shots here, I’ve been lucky to live in and travel to some interesting places but I do miss London…

Thanks Andy. Yes I know what you mean but I’ll have to issue a disclaimer to Manchester! I can’t see that I’ll move back. Surely your Accra room is the centre of everything now?…

Indeed my room in Accra is my world at the moment…
