The Anonymous Widower

The View From Hay’s Galleria

I’d gone south from the Angel to London Bridge station, with the aim of walking along the River Thames to see Tower Bridge.

To get to the bridge, I took one of the exits onto Tooley Street, crossed the road and walked through the Hay’s Galleria.  I took these pictures.

This is one of the best ways to get onto the walk beside the Thames. There are also a couple of restaurants and cafes, in and by the Galleria, if you want to eat or drink.

Through The City Of London Under Blue Skies

Yesterday morning, I took a 141 bus, through the City of London to London Bridge station.

Sunday mornings, and especially fine ones, are a good time to visit the City of London. At that time, you can usually get up front on a double-decker bus, to get the best pictures.

Where’s The Building Gone?

The last time, I walked through here on my way to Liverpool Street station, I’m sure there was a building.

But it’s gone now to be replaced by a new 5 Broadgate, which replaces 4 and 6. Those buildings didn’t live as long as I have so far!

Note that it will be completed in 2015.  That shows what I think is a very tight timetable and probably some good project management.

Armchairs Outside St. Paul’s

As someone, who is getting on in years, I do like to see nice places to sit on the street.  These chairs were outside St. Paul’s Cathedral.

I don’t think, I’ve ever seen single oak armchairs before. Sadly, it was so cold and miserable, I just walked on past.

The Food Market At One New Change

One New Change is a shopping centre in the City of London. I walked past it yesterday and stumbled on their monthly food market.

This stall was selling, what looked to be a delicious paella, which was gluten-free of course. There are more details here on the centre’s web site. The next one is at 11 to 3 on the sixth of February.

A Dead Coffee Table

This table looked all sad and forlorn on its back in the City.

Hopefully, it’s been disposed of humanely.
