In this thread I will post photos I've taken in London, where I've lived since 2005.
Occasionally I (re)visit tourist hotspots but most photos in here will be from lesser known suburbs; having "seen the sights" on childhood visits here, I've not been very interested in photographing them since I moved here. I'll try and show typical streets and areas where people live, work, shop and relax, although I particularly tend to focus on various things including the tube, trains, and mass transport; parks, woodlands, etc and wildlife; rivers and canals, boats and bridges; churches, temples, mosques etc; and historically or visually interesting buildings of any kind. And, given the forum we're on, skyscrapers and construction/development, obviously.
Hat tip to SE9's marvellous thread London: A World Capital for inspiration - I will loosely copy his pattern of posting a handful of shots per 'location', with snippets of wikipedia info for context, but with a rather slower pace, and lower quality threshold, and the addition of personal ramblings.
Alphabetical index of areas covered so far:
