I've met fascinating people that I've barely known who've left me meaningful memories whilst some who I've known for years remain but memories of circumstance.

Who'd have thought the once repugnant alleyways of #London would one day be our greatest and most thought-provoking views into the heart of the old city.

A beautiful view into the pre-policing world of 'Parish Watchmen'. I particularly like the water fountain, though the entire painting is very special indeed.

The Anticlimactic Fate Of Britain's Pubs
The King Of Bohemia, 10 Hampstead High Street #London β°οΈ

The King of Bohemia has stood at 10 Hampstead High Street from the 1680s & was rebuilt in the 1930s. Since it was closed in 2003, the ground floor was converted into a retail store and then a sushi restaurant. You'd think any council or government worth its salt would rather waste money saving such a pub instead of wasting the culture we lost with its death.

When I see the native homeless and drug addicted prostitutes across London, it literally kills a small piece of me each time. We can barely help ourselves, never mind those who need it most. Societies' deliberate decline isnβt just visible in human suffering, but societies ignorance to it.
