South Bank Sunday


Yesterday I was able to wander along the South Bank in London and take photos of the great buzz that is being created there for the summer.

This is a mosaic map of the river, that was mounted on the side of a customised beach hut.   Can you see The Wheel, OXO Tower and the Houses of Parliament?



One of the beaches. This one was for display only.   There was another larger one, similar to the one created annually on the banks of the Seine, full of children making sandcastles.


The bunting was plentiful


The ice cream van was retro


One of the customised beach huts


This installation was highlighting free speech, with writing by authors banned in their own counties, flying free up into the air.


There were stalls of different types of food


It was fun


I love London for being so vibrant.
