London with the top down
The weather was so nice as we started our journey north last week that we decided to drive through London with the top down - much to Mortimer's delight as a pizza delivery motorcycle pulled up next to us. Our route took us through Victoria, Hyde Park, Marble Arch and the Edgeware Road. Each time we stopped I found myself gazing up at the skyline and thought a photographic mini project might be fun. I would liked to have spent more time photographing buildings as some of the detail on the brickwork was superb but a strange thing happened. You know the law that dictates a dropped slice of toast always falls butter side down? Well, when you have a camera in hand, all traffic lights turn to green on your approach!
* Don't you just love the internet? The answer is the Red Lion Hotel, Kilburn - although probably an inn or hostel in 1444

I so agree about the green lights thing. It's been happening to me a lot in the run-up to the Tour de France. And I don't do car envy at all: not a clue whether anyone's driving a Robin Reliant or a Mercedes. But I would like an open-topped car. So I'm doing car-envy today. Great photos by the way. I love London brickwork too.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you Margaret, as long as a car gets me from A to B I'm not bothered at all. I used to have an old MG Roadster which I loved. Andrew inherited this car and it is fun, particularly now we've found a way to secure Mortimer in the back. Next time we're driving through London I'm going to be more prepared and start taking the photographs earlier!
