A point of view from a corner of a London block, looking on into the busy street, forked road, and busy sidewalks. It's a dark and cloudy day, and the road consists of some taxis, a public bus, and other random vehicles. The quote on the photo reads, “For those who are lost, there will always be cities that feel like home.” by Simon Van Booy.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at very low altitude, with flaps extended, undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it is taking off. Behind, another plane is just sneaking out of shot on the lower right, while trees and buildings lead off into the hazy distance.

Side view of a high-winged, T-tailed, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow belly, and a thin blue stripe running backwards from under the body just forward of the weeks, getting wider as it goes, until it takes over the tail. There is a yellow feathers and circle logo on the tail, and "SkyWork" titles on the lower forward fuselage. Behind is the tail of another, slightly larger plane, with the terminal building behind that, and a factory beyond that.

Profumo had to leave politics and went on to redeem himself by spending many years doing good works in the #EastEnd of #London. The affair was the subject many years later of the #film "Scandal". The associated revelations changed attitudes in the #UK profoundly.

Taking my 10 yo #football fan to #London this summer.

There won't be any matches as it's off-season, but he really wants to go on a stadium tour.

Any recommendations on which is the best one?

(He's not a specific fan of any of the London teams so that doesn't matter in and of itself).

Conflicted about the family of foxes living in the garden below. On one hand they are cute and am told will keep the rat population down. On the other hand they are obviously infested with mites, keep me awake with their play-fighting at night, and are destroying what was a lovely garden (not mine). Frankly good on 'em for surviving in urban #London, they don't deserve to die. If those 4 pups each have 4 pups and so on... I guess I am resigned to a lot of fox neighbours. #UrbanWildlife

An extraordinary situation has arisen with regard to the town of #Woking in the commuter belt outside #London. The local council appears to have accumulated a #debt more than one thousand (!) times its annual revenue. Most of this happened when the local #Conservatives controlled the council - it has since given the #LibDems a majority.
Problems with debt elsewhere - such as in #Croydon and #Thurrock pale into insignificance by comparison!

Visited the newly refurbished Battersea Power Station last night; you can take a great glass elevator up inside one of the chimneys. Amazing view of London from the top.

One huge oversight, however, they should have tethered a Vermicious Knid up there.

#london #photography #battersea

Photograph taken inside the glass lift, inside the chimney of Battersea Powerstation. The walls of the chimney are red with concentric lights. There are four sets of rails running vertically up the chimney. In the centre of the picture is a bright white disk, the chimney opening.
A photograph taken from the top of Battersea Powerstation chimney (inside the glass lift). The River Thames runs from the bottom of the picture and then swept right and then left, disappearing from view about two thirds of the way up. On the right of the picture (and the Thames there are a lot of tall buildings including the Cite of London. To the left are low rise flats flanking the river behind those are taller buildings including the London Eye (very large ferris wheel).
Photograph taken outside at desk looking up at Battersea Powerstation. The sky is dark blue and fills the photograph from bottom left to top right. The Powerstation is dark brickwork lit up with spotlights from below (out of shot) and from the light coming through the windows. On top of the power station are two large cream coloured chimneys, the tops are in shadow. These chimneys cut into the sky.

An uplifting tale from #NovaraMedia of how a group of anarchist housing activists discovered a disused convent and decided to open it up as a homeless shelter using squatting law.
Its owners, the Union of the Sisters of Mercy of Great Britain are not best pleased, but full marks to Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lufthur Rahman, who told the Met to back off harassing the squatters.

Inaugural test flight of my putative live set-up.

This week I saw a sign to "Queen Mary and Westfield" outside #StepneyGreen tube station, the photo was taken at 9.45pm as the light was fading.

For years I've been calling the place #QMW not #QMUL. That confused some staff and students when my son and I went there for an open day in 2019.

I have always known it as "Queen Mary Westfield", ever since I met a developer in 1997 who was doing an MSc there. He helped me learn PERL.

So it's not my imagination. Proof! It is QMW!
