  4. Cutty Sark, 2006
  5. Greenwich foot tunnel, 2006
  6. A pie and mash shop (probably in Greenwich), 2006
  7. "Two Rabbits" by Tom Claasson at Frieze Art Fair, 2006
  8. New Year's Eve in central London (before you needed tickets), 2006
  9. Line of cops at NYE, 2006
  10. Too crowded tube station at NYE, 2006 (possibly technically 2007 by that point)

  12. Piccadilly Circus, 2009
  13. Brighton (took a day trip), 2009

  2. Before the internet really stole peoples lives – and was still just another tool.

  4. Nice reminder of the Cutty Sark pre-builder incident… I remember the first time i cycled up there to challenge myself.

  5. I think your pie shop may be the old Goddards location in Greenwich (near where Waterstones now is).

  7. Amazing to see some images from a not so distant past! If you have more please share!

  8. oh man I remember the big crack in the floor of the Tate!

  9. i used to go buy dvd’s from hmv and stroll and trocodero on fridays after work (2005/2006), i do miss those simpler times.

  10. Piccadilly Circus was much more iconic before they installed the current ad hoardings

  11. A very vivid memory I have is of visiting Kensington Gardens and seeing works by Anthony McCall at the Serpentine Gallery (now called Serpentine South).

  13. I remember that split in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern.

  15. These are so lovely tbh. very nostalgic despite the fact I wasn’t around London at that time. Beautiful little pictures!
