London Scenes And Out-Takes, 4

 More walking around...

With John Lennon on Carnaby Street; crucificado?

At the V&A's Taylor Swift gift shoppe

Swiftie foot gear


On a walk in Pimlico or possibly nearby Belgravia

Interesting shops

The right-wing riots here appear to have subsided, possibly
as the government threatened to shut down futbol

En route to Spitalfields market, near the financial bit
of town: a glimpse of the Gherkin, as Londoner call it

Just outside Spitalfields...is this a family restaurant?

Spitalfields, in our estimation, is somewhere between Camden Market
and Borough Market...little brocante but lots of interesting food, bespoke
fashion and accessories

Entertainment at the Covent Garden market

No lack of interesting brocante, collectibles in these precincts

In London's miniscule West End Chinatown

What other blogs don't show you: the aftermath of the
day's work at the Horseguards....

Blackfriars, a famous station on the tube


Up in smoke near the Inns of Court

Air Marshal Dowding, in charge of Fighter Command
during the Battle of Britain

"Bomber" Harris, Bomber Command...WWII will be
remembered someday as the war that ended equestrian
monuments

Sometimes the blue plaques go a bit too far...

Nevermind the cars, trucks, buses...

"Oh joy of joys"...my Tesco Clubcard finally has arrived...
Rule Britannia!

The London granddaughters of a friend of mine say that no regular girls wear smocked dresses regardless of the fact that Princess Charlotte wears them all the time. I was disappointed to hear that. Glad that there are smocked dresses in stores, though!
