This Sunday, I visited the Serpentine Gallery then strolled nearbye snapping away with my Leica M8 and 21mm F.2.8 lens. The light was beautiful and everyone was enjoying the first day of spring - or so it felt! You can see more in the slideshow . The grounds around the gallery were all marked out for some forthcoming project, which created some interesting imagery. Read Full Story

hye all....here John again.......:) Well...in last post we have discussed about Art Galleries in London and i m sure exploring London can’t be completed without taking break in The Pleasant London Royal Parks.

London is not just a British city. It is a Commonwealth city, a European city, an American city, a Pakistani city, a Nigerian city and an Indian city. The politics and statements of the new mayor of London are soo conservative that many call him a fascist and a Nazi. The loss of Mr. Livingston is a great loss to the Liberal, Progressives and peace loving people all over the world.
In the third four-yearly ballot for the directly-elected post, Labour’s Ken Livingstone ….his toughest... Read Full Story
A quick trip to London's Number 1 Poultry today. If you can get to the impressive roof garden there are stunning views that more than make up for the irksomely courageous whimsy of the controversial architecture.

It was my first real day in London and I knew I had to make the most of it since I essentially only had two full days there. I didn't wake up as early as I should have (I'll just blame that on the time difference) but I figured it was better to be well-rested for an action-packed day. First on my agenda was an early lunch at The Orangery at Kensington Palace with an old friend who lived in... Read Full Story
...there's an awful lot going on. Somebody should make a book about all the all the things you can get hold of under London's 25 miles of railway arches. The arches are a natural home for wine vaults and fringe theatres. Dodgy car mechanics also thrive in the dark spaces beneath curving Victorian brick, but you can get much more than your car serviced down in Vauxhall, where dubious saunas cosy up to brightly lit cafés and DIY specialists. Last Sunday we had breakfast at the Café Madeira on... Read Full Story
UPDATE: WE LOST OUT! Camberwell Green London UK London Borough of Southwark Click or copy/paste link to vote CAMBERWELL GREEN for Mayoral Makeover: http://www.london.gov.uk/parksvote/region/southeast/camberwellgreen.jsp I suggest we vote Camberwell Green as deserving (from list of other eligible London sites) for the Mayoral grant which will provide a much needed makeover. This spot is presently very drab and attracts too many undesirables. Camberwell Green is placed at a hugely... Read Full Story
