Liverpool Street

A couple of sketches I did while I was waiting for my friend outside Liverpool Street Station. So busy!

Narrow Street

Drew this old warehouse in Narrow Street, Limehouse today. Was freezing cold, with quite a bitter wind coming from the East. After finishing I went and warmed up with a green tea and chocolate flapjack in Departure Cafe, near Limehouse Station.

Covent Garden

I did this in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden a little while back. There are a couple of camping shops, behind where I was sitting. This is looking towards Bedford Street.

Old pic of Borders

I drew this a little while back from the window of the jazz cafe in Foyles. This used to be Borders before they closed down. I love Foyles, but was still such a pity to see Borders go. The one on Oxford Street stayed open until 11PM and had an amazing selection of magazines. I think London definitely lost out when they went.

Borough

Did this drawing near Borough Market. The row of houses was pretty run down, with peeling paint, and the people who were coming and going looked like they might actually have grown up in the area and been part of the local community. One old lady asked if it was easy to draw the houses and I said no it wasn't really. She was pretty friendly anyway. The first floor window is held open by one of those grip strengtheners with a spring and two handles you have to squeeze together.

Southbank

I love the area round Waterloo and the Southbank, I've spent a lot of time exploring there over the years. This is looking towards the station (behind the buildings), and I think the elevated walkway at the end of the road's the way through to Waterloo East.

View from the windows of the Festival Hall. Did this on two pieces of A4 and joined them together.

Looking over to Somerset House, a red bus crossing the bridge.

View East with a bit of the NT in the foreground.
