My heart can only take so much...
This outlandishly impressive painting is named Sunny Day, Merikul by #IvanShishkin and was painted in 1894. The saying "art is in the eye of the beholder" is not an excuse to patronise contemporary vandalism. To call today's 'art', "art", is to destroy our concept of true talent. @VinsFavouriteArtwork
Whist walking the banks of the river #Thames this morning, I've already seen three cameramen who've set up just to capture images of the Shard and other modern buildings. They, like the magazines or sites they're photographing for, are the visible representation of our decline.

Have a wonderful day 😎
The greatest sights in #London are the parts that have been most left undisturbed.

The ‘Hoop & Grapes’ - 47 #Aldgate High St, Greater, #London, #EC3N
We traversed to the @HoopandGrapes_ to discuss its historical interest and importance within #London and #Britain's overall pub scene. This pub isn't simply important as a pub. It's an insight into the many buildings that once made up the #CityofLondon before the 'Great fire' of 1666. ChelseaDan5 and myself (@VinnieSullivan) were joined by the wonderful @TheWonderingEnglishman. Together, we looked at the building not only for its registered history but for the many unknown moments it must have seen. We'd like to thank the staff who were incredibly helpful, polite, and facilitating. Our view into the cellar/tunnel was very special and ensured we'll be singing the Hoops praises for years to come. We hope you'll join us on YouTube.
Thank you all for joining us, you'll find the full feature in high quality below. 🤝🍻

The Spanish Tallship (Galeon Andalusia) - St Catherine Docks, #Wapping, #London, #E1W
This replica is a beautiful yet scary insight into historical Naval warfare. This beast, like its #Portuguese siblings, terrorised the seas for many years. Britian was tried and tested againt fantastic #Navy's. Even the #Spanish Amarda wasn't thwarted in the fashion most think. We can only imagine the hardship and stories that took place amongst the storms and battles within the seven seas. No doubt, the sea bed hides a great deal of secrets, relics, and lost souls.

A truly savage food critic..
"Progress"..
The Imperial Hotel in #London's #RussellSquare was once a neo-gothic wonder devised by the architect Charles Fitzroy Doll. It was DEMOLISHED in 1966 and replaced by this brutalist display of architectural terrorism by the design of "Architect" Charles Lovett Gill.
