In a few days, central London will be transformed into an urban jungle with 250 life-size baby elephants standing on street corners, parks and buildings around the capital. Each elephant is a unique creation by an artist, fashion designer, organisation or celebrity, including painter Mythili Thevendrampillai who was featured for London Art Spot at the end of [...]
Turn the corner from Brick Lane onto Hanbury street where one wall recently came to life with the giant image of mother and child and right next to that, you’ll find that Stik has been round there creating some new Stik people. Just above Stik’s pieces, a massive crane adorns the side wall next to an empty lot. This [...]
Here’s an interesting addition to the Flickr pool from trailerfullofpix. This mosaic work by Baroness Carrie von Reichardt was taken at The Treatment Rooms, Fairlawn Grove, Chiswick. Carrie and her soulmate Mr. Spunky have turned their house into a mural project, The Treatment Rooms, inspired by Carrie’s penpal friendship with Luis Ramirez, an inmate on death [...]
Funny, after Friday’s entry about London being dog-friendly, that I should happen to stumble through Cabbages & Frocks on Saturday afternoon. Dogs galore. It was “Dog Day Afternoon” and it appeared I was just in time for “Doggy Aerobics Class” with the Good Boy Dog School. Needless to say, I high-tailed it outta there as [...]
A born and bred Londoner who completed her BA (hons) at Goldsmith’s College, Anick spent much of her life being inspired by London’s rain-washed buildings and riverside views. Her work also taps into her family’s connection to Mauritius and the childhood experiences in this country that left a lasting impression. Recently, Anick moved on to [...]

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Kathy in Toronto who is thinking about relocating to glorious London Town. Not without her two pooches though. She asked me if the capital is dog-friendly. Kathy says: “How dog friendly is London, really? We’re pretty spoiled here with the many off-leash parks, dog daycares, dog walkers, groomers, [...]
Armed with our cameras and M&S carry bags full of bread, olives, cheese, fruit, chocolate and drinks, D and I sat on the cool grass in Holland Park after work to play catch up in our busy lives. A beautiful Spring night and flowers in full bloom. Holland Park has to be one of the most serene escapes from central London, sprawling [...]
London doesn’t have a beach, you say? I bet the dirtybeach.tv guys building sand sculptures down on South Bank beg to differ. They certainly make good use of the little strip that shows itself when the tide washes out. There’s a whole team of sculptors creating makeshift sand TVs and dragons and faces, having bonfires or sitting [...]
This Yankee fan is taking a bit of time out to relax on Brick Lane. Added to the Flickr pool by Johan Chomet. Have a great photo of a Londoner to share? Add it to the pool.

Very springlike with a lot of greenery showing. The [...]
