The big em.... not so bad city

It has been a while since my last post and I am finally starting to feel settled in the cauldron that is London. After spending the first month in Kensington I have now headed further north and am now living in Islington, initial impressions are that it's a really cool place with loads of atmosphere so I am looking forward to exploring it. I am loving work and everyone is very nice and helping me settle, consequentially I am starting to feel more at home here already. Anyway enough soppy shite and lets have a look at some lovely stuff. Obviously I have been saving links like the proverbial squirrel before winter but I thought I should be more focused and go down a photography theme for this post rather than vomit a huge amount of links out. Some of these are dated but still worth a look so get clicking and enjoy.

P.S for my friends back in Newcastle here is a translation:
