A ride to the BT Tower

This week I went on an impromptu ride of sorts. I simply had to get from north London to a shop on the King’s Road, but taking a photograph of the BT Tower made me think about cycling in the general direction of Fitzrovia so that I could get some closer shots. So, that’s exactly what I did.

An Agatha Christie Kind of Day - A Visit to the British Library

Today I paid a visit to the British Library for the quite wonderful Agatha Christie exhibition. I had first spotted it on their events calendar over a year ago, so it was something I had been looking forward to for quite some time.

A strange encounter at Barbican

I have been a frequent visitor to the Barbican Estate for many years, particularly when the Museum of London was still open, and have continued to visit regularly, for one reason or another, more over the past eighteen months or so.

One aspect of the Barbican that is often overlooked by visitors, and even by some residents, is the immense depth of history that lies beneath and around it. From the obvious remains of the Roman Wall to the plague pits, the Barbican and its surrounding area have witnessed more than their fair share of London's history. Of course, with so much history comes the occasional encounter that is not quite so easy to explain.
