Taking the Thames Clipper for the sheer joy of it from Greenwich to London Bridge.

A FABulous image OF the Shard! (From west side, junction Stainer Street and the road that leads from Guy's Hospital)

And one of the thousands responsible for building it (he worked on scaffolding and gave me his permission to photo him!)

Nice photographs .I like the Tower Bridge one, are you making a collection for a future book.

Maybe you could nip down to Greenwich, there are some very good places for your kind of photography.but be quick

there is talk of changes to the old market there.

Also the Olympic sight.

All interesting to see in a potential book,I think it could work well for you.

Aha - I did not see the inside of the Shard. If only! I would LOVE to go up the top of it!

You can see the artists impressions that I photographed and that the worker sat next to, which are on the west side wall, access via Stainer Street and the road that leads to Guys Hospital.

Thanks for the kind comments!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
