Lockdown London: Summer 2020 – Pt. 1.

Lockdown London: Summer 2020 – Pt. 1.

I’m going back in time for my first two blogs. Back in time to the ‘lockdown’ summer of 2020 when I drove around central London taking photos of big things from empty streets.  If you’re reading this in 2120 and wondering why London is so deserted all I can say is, look at the history books! More images of Lockdown London in Part 2.

An enlightening London walk encompasses all of royal Westminster. It’s a cheeky exploration of British monarchy statue-by-statue, king-by-king and queen-by-queen: the mad, the bad, the dangerous to know; and those who were quite nice actually.
