The Nelson Stairs

The Nelson Stairs designed by MC Esher.
nelsonsnose:
Just perfection.
nelsonsnose:
The most beautiful stairs in London. Sir Christopher Wren would be hard pressed to improve on these... Three floors accessed via different staircases, almost as if MC Esher had been the client.

ManStock IV. Not quite the weekend of camping I was preparing for. Loved the teepee though. Utterly beautiful.

If you like your shopping experience to have an ever-present and often overwhelming sense of impending doom then this really is the place for you. Built in the 1960s, it was the first large indoor shopping mall in Europe but ultimately failed to become a

You can almost hear the Soho jazz clubs in the distance... Niiiiice!

No it's not a new Audi showroom. It's a trendy corridor!

The very first red double decker on the streets of London looked like this beauty back in 1910. The No.9 route is still run today, although it's preferable not to smoke pipes and wear top hats alfresco on the top deck!

Seven long long loooooong hours later I've arrived back in London. Pembroke is officially far away!
