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.
Buckingham Palace: The most famous royal palace in the world.
City Skyline: Looking across the River Thames from HMS Belfast to the City of London.
Guildhall: Spanning 600 years of architecture in one panoramic shot.
National Theatre: Like a great concrete ship run aground on the banks of the River Thames.
St James’s Park: People love this park but it can also be loved without people.
St Paul’s Cathedral: This area is usually brimming with office workers and tourists.
Tower Bridge and the Tower of London: Looking across a still River Thames from HMS Belfast.
Trafalgar Square, Nelson’s Column and National Gallery: The geographic centre of London.

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. It’s a light-hearted walk, frivolous, quite rollicking and 100% historically accurate!
