Following on from the end of 2021's Barbican visit, I was recommended to visit another example of Brutalist architecture in London, the Southbank Centre.

The Barbican Estate and Surroundings
On a cold Tuesday morning, I decided to have a short photography trip focussed specifically around the Barbican Estate. The Estate itself provided some great opportunities thanks to the harsh concrete aesthetic and strong geometric structure...
Tower Bridge and Bermondsey
Another weekend, another trip to London. This time from Liverpool Street station, across Tower Bridge and through Bermondsey. After a late lunch in The Gregorian pub, I then walked to Hayes Gallery before heading across London Bridge and back to Liverpool Street station.
Hackney Wick & Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

I wanted to try and reduce this complexity down a notch, to deliver something simple & minimal whilst keeping the original detail and complex nature of the architecture. ... Continue Reading →
