I’ve got two completely unrelated Brixton scenes for you today. The first is the sight of the cleaned up brickwork of the old Sanders & Co Jewellers shop on Brixton Road.
The hoardings are slowly coming down in readiness for the opening of a Costa Coffee shop.

End of the day, Berwick market, Soho. The street market was first established in the 18th century but it wasn’t until 1892 that it was officially recognised.
A twilight walk through Times Square, New York

Once one of the seedier parts of Manhattan, Times Square was cleaned up in the mid-1990s, with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani overseeing the closing of the porno theatres and pressurising the drug dealers and ‘squeegee men’ to relocate elsewhere.
Although it’s been Disneyfied and sanitised into a tourist-friendly cash-till, Times Square is still a fascinating and exciting place to walk through. Here’s some photos from a December 2010 twilight ramble through the area.

Sadly, there wasn’t a snow-covered festive scene to greet me on my return to Cardiff this year, as the weather had turned boringly mild.
There was still loads going in around the city centre, so here’s a few snaps:

Saturday night was a blast at the historic Royal Vauxhall Tavern, an old-fashioned south London pub that is probably London’s best-known alternative gay venue.
On the bill were the fabulous go-go Actionettes, a cowboy stripper called Go Go Harder and the mighty Jarvis Cocker on the decks.

I have to admin that ‘vintage’ has become one of my trigger words these days. Whenever I see it written around Brixton, it’s often being used as hipster-speak for good old fashioned ‘second hand stuff.’
Anyway, if vintage is your thing, Forever Loving Vintage will be at the increasingly tatty-looking Living Bar on Sunday serving up an “exciting, unique & fun shopping experience.”
