More London (Thursday)




Very odd being a tourist in a city where I spent the first half of my life and everything seemed normal not remarkable --so I go around taking pictures of things-- a cafe in Soho


a door near the British Museum


my favorite bookshop  -- Persephone -- where I stocked up on all sorts of things.


Then the 38 bus through Picadilly Circus


past the Ritz


then the train to Clapham Junction


to my cousin's house


where we discuss family endlessly and I snap inadvertent still lives...


and the South London front path.


ps: Very soon Seth Apter, Roxanne Evans Stout and I will be announcing an art and writing workshop we'll be teaching in New York in the spring --details to follow shortly.

  1. Oh, you are in London!
    My entire family is, too.
    My youngest step daughter will
    get her Bachelor degree tomorrow.
    I couldn't go as Gizmo didn't want to stay in the dog hotel...
    have a great time,
    Beatrice

  3. How wonderful to be in London!
    Love the photographs, but they make me long to be there even more than I normally do. Which is a considerable amount!
    Come visit.... my book is here!

  4. Elizabeth, thank you for more scenes familiar to me.

    I wish that I could have also stocked up at Persephone. Their new website is looking very good.

    I am looking forward for a long catch up with you when you get back to NYC.

  5. How wonderful to have the advantage of being able to visit/live in two of the most exciting cities in the world!

    Have things changed very much (good and/or bad) in London since your last visit or are things pretty much the same?

  6. Oh I need another London fix! I've had Persephone on my 'next trip' list but think it may be a dangerous stop for me!
