UK peeps how does your local council score on environmental considerations and actions? Mine is pretty mediocre! I blame the usual bureaucratic bungling, ever decreasing govt funds and a dab of corruption. #London #Lambeth #UK #Climate #Environment #ClimateChange

The plane is mostly silver, with a black and white checkerboard pattern on the engine cowling on the nose, and a black panel at the rear of the tail.
The number "47" is visible on the silver part of the tail, the rest of the serial hidden by the horizontal stabiliser.
There is a dark blue circle containing a large 5-pointed white star on the rear fuselage, with a white bar on each side, and letters "I" on one side and "WZ" on the other, all black outlined in red.

Between 1816 & 1820 Harry HOLT moved back to #Lambeth/#Brixton & fought 6x in the #PrizeRing 1win5Loss.

Although he was described as one of the most scientific boxers of his day, it was noted that his punch wasn’t hard enough to take the fight out of his opponents.

The plane is mostly white, with a thick red and thin golden stripe running along the body and up in to the tail. There are red EgyptAir titleson the upper forward fuselage, in English and Arabic, on either side of an Egyptian flag. On the tail, there is a golden circle outlined in red, bearing the head of a red bird with blue plumage, actually an image of Horus, one of the Ancient Egyptian Gods, a logo that also appears on the engine pods. In the background, large areas of grass lead off to what appears to be large white circular rigid tents in front of some low buildings, with a tree-covered hillside beyond that slowly vanishing in to haze.
Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right, with the undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the rear of the wing, and the nose raised significantly, suggests it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with grey lower body, and a thick green horizontal stripe wrapped around the nose., extending almost to the forward door. There are green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The tail is white, with a thick green stripe with a red base, and a stylised white flying bird that appears to have been drawn with a single brush stroke. In the background, the sky is a light blue, with white clouds at the bottom of the frame.

"I want to thank the British descendants of the Windrush generation for the work, the effort, the resilience, the strength that they have shown. They could have gone under decades ago but they have risen to the point where they have created this perfect storm for me. ... The National Windrush Monument is my thank you to them all."

#NationalWindrushMonument #Waterloo #Lambeth

A family group of a father, mother, and child stand atop a pile of suitcases. The are all linked by touch. The following description is from Basil Watson, the sculptor: 

"Then within the composition of the figures, there are elements of the man and woman holding hands, the skirt touching his leg, and the posture of each individual in the composition: the woman is the one with both hands engaged – she is holding the man while nurturing the child. The man is holding the woman while looking ahead, the child is looking back thinking introspectively about her journey while still being in contact with her mother."

We walked from Sydenham to Brockwell Park during lockdown. We lazily take the train to HH nowadays. The secret garden is a very special place so I guess we should keep it secret - ooops!

If only relatively rich #Bromley had taken as much care of our own Crystal Palace Park as cash strapped #Lambeth does for Brockwell....

The plane has a sky blue lower body and underside of the wings, while the upper surfaces, includigng the engine, are olive green. There is a long red arrow pointing directly forwards on the nose, and a large yellow number 6 under the rear of the cockpit.
