We popped in to see this exhibition by photographer Clive Boursnell documenting the last days of the old central London fruit, vegetable and flower markets at Covent Garden. It’s only on till June 21, so hurry!
We got talking to an old bloke who worked at the market and he pointed out some of his old mates in the photos, ruefully adding, “Most of them are now dead.”
I also took some photos while ambling around Bloomsbury and Holborn. Here’s a few:
Pearly King of Thornton Heath browsing a bookstore on Charing Cross Road.
Lovely Georgian terrace on Southampton Row.
We popped in The Enterprise pub, 38 Red Lion Street for a swifty. It’s a lovely traditional boozer.
