City Road is awash with new tower blocks at the moment ...
Something of a ripple in the fabric of reality here, courtesy of mirrored glass ...
Lovely decoration above an old shop front ... the waves are quite unusual in London, I think ...
Revealed by demolition on the corner of Old Street, note the simple concrete manicule ...
Not much a fan of Hoxton Street art, but admire the size of this ...
Ghost of a ceiling ...
Pigeon observes the work in progress ...
and wonders if being followed ...
London's most temporary memorial plaque ...
Minor ghost sign in Bethnal Green back street ... slightly dateable by 01 phone prefix ...
Queen Adelaide's Dispensary, Pollard Row, opened 1866, giving free medical advice and treatment to the poor ...
Peculiarly shredded relic of a former sign ...
Mid-20C municpal housing in Whiston Road ...
Marvellous spear points at All Saints, Haggerston ...
And nice mid-Victorian railings on nearby houses ...
Typical back of London terrace ...
Less typical abandoned amphora ...
The beautiful De Beauvoir Square ...
The erstwhile home of the Hackney Mole Man, now barely standing ...
Decorative rail opposite, always draped with its Christmas lights ...
Lovely window guards ...
Smokes vents improvised on Balls Pond Road almshouse chimneys ...
A much neglected ironwork divider between doors to terrace ... would be amazing if restored ...
And finally, on corner of Newington Green Road, a plaque: THESE BUILDINGS WERE ERECTED IN THE YEAR 1891 BY U.STUDDS & SON OF BARRETT'S GROVE, STOKE NEWINGTON. Which is nice.
