A Walk Through London’s First Pedestrian And Cycle Zone
I took these pictures as I walked through London’s first Pedestrian and Cycle Zone, wher only electric vehicles and some hybrids are allowed.
I like the idea, although quite a few diesel and petrol cars and vans seem to have been ignoring the signs.
I was even interviewed by television. But it was Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão, so I doubt I’ll find it on the iPlayer.
Will subtitles make me look better?
Walking The Crossrail Route Between Farringdon And Moorgate Stations
I took these pictures on the route between Farringdon and Moorgate stations via Barbican station.
Note.
- The massive amount of new development along the route.
- The new site for the Museum of London.
- Smithfield Market, which surely will be developed or refurbished.
- The large amount of housing in the Barbican Estate.
- The new office developments surrounding Moorgate station.
To me, one of the most interesting developments, is the creation of new walkways across the Barbican Estate and through the new office developments to link Batrbican and Moorgate stations to London Wall and walking routes going towards St. Pauls, Bank and the River.
Crossrail will serve the City indirectly using a modicum of walking in at a pleasant height away from the traffic.
What Are These Guys Watching?
This group of mainly men, reminded me of the scenes you get in pubs with football on the big screen or in betting shops.
But it was in the Leon in Moorgate.
The wait for my gluten-free chicken nuggets was worth it!
An MG Y-Type
On Bank Holiday Monday, in my travels along the Crouch Valley Line, I ended up at Quay Day at Burnham-on-Crouch.
I took these pictures of an MG Y-Type.
It is an example of the earliest car owned by my father that I can remember
I can still remember the number, which was BNH 368.
Incidentally, my father had owned several MGs, both before and after the Second World War. The last two MGs were both ZA Magnettes; TNK 663 and 676 RME.
