Loving London

This week a slightly unusual way to spend the election day afternoon - strolling through the streets of London. Unfortunately aside from the reporters outside 10 Downing Street, little was seen to prove the significance of the day.

 

10 Downing Street, election day 2010

 

Our walk started at the Photographers Gallery which has moved to Ramillies Street. Here's the link: Photographers Gallery in London. Most exciting of all was the new polaroid film which is available from the Gallery - "First Flush" is allegedly very temperamental sepia-toned film. Can't wait to start trying it out! Very expensive though :o( There are some experiments already available to view on flickr: Impossible Project Polarid Results on Flickr. 

In Carnaby Street the music festival offered bands in shops, bands in the street and some union jack fashion.

 

From there we ambled down through Golden Square and Piccadilly to St James's Park, where the squirrels were having a field day:

 

before continuing down Westminster, and round to Charing Cross.  Finally I headed home to cast my own vote!
