London Snapshots/Soho


Quite a lot of London in one picture --the rain, the phone booth, the motor scooters....


Cheery flowers in Berwick Street market


cascading outside a pub


in jam jars outside Liberty's


where the flowers are always exquisite.


Liberty's is always quite stunning inside....


and out --late 19th century faux Tudor


echoed in Soho Square.


Snacks at Patisserie Valerie


and doors and windows


again in Soho Square.

    I am loving these photos, I was born and grew up in London - feel a tad homesick - think I need a visit.
    My sister in law worked in textiles for Liberty's

    I really miss London - thanks for making me a little homesick too. The door and windows actually made me have a lump in my throat - reminds me of when I used to work in Motcomb St, just off Belgrave Sq. Hope you are having a lovely time.x

    Loved the photo tour! All the pics just made me smile. Soho-Manhattan, Soho-London. I'm always amused at how many U.S. places have the same names as those in England, Scotland, Ireland. You'd think those pilgrims and explorers would have a little better imagination when it came to naming places.

    This is what I miss living in the desert the lush greenery over flowing from planters and outdoor displays of cut flowers.
    It all feels so green and fresh. I can just feel the air.
    Lovely !

    cheers, parsnip

    Wait a minute - did you drive there to deliver a painting too? No photos of the trip? (probably just a lot of fish)

    Here I am thinking I will be seeing New York then I see you have quickly posted on England.

    Singing in the rain is very apt just now! Hope you are enjoying yourself Elizabeth.

    I adore doors and windows, and I don't know which I like more, the red phone boxes or the umbrellas. Cute.
