Got really inspired by the post «24 hours in London» and decided to share some photographs that I have taken while living there

Share your thoughts and your favourite places, would love to discover something new

  1. It’s as limited in breadth of subject matter as the collection of twee ones you often get.

  2. So you went to the barbican 😉

    Captured the brutalist architecture brilliantly!

  4. Oh these are beautiful especially the pic with the people sitting in the sunshine

  5. You need to walk more. Barbican doesn’t represent London. Not a fan of the filter used. And zoom out. Maybe actually, you should skip London next time.

  7. Those 1960s brutalist architects have a lot to answer for

  8. “Barbican then?”
    Comments here are pathetic…

    Nice pics! They show how beautiful the “aged/60’s” parts of London can be.

  9. I guess that some people really love brutalist architecture. But having lived in the post Soviet space, and having to work in a brutalist building in London, I am absolutely sick to death of this type of architecture.

  10. Barbicans bangin, shot a few editorials there. Endless angles.

    I’d say go check out Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate, you’ll like it I think. Had a fun shoot there the other week

  12. So yeah, nice Barbican shots, the others look like the development in Swiss Cottage I used to live in. Again, London is a bit broader and has a bit more than brutalist in place but nice pics.

  14. I am not a fan of the Barbican. I get that the flats are nice inside and it’s a great central location but to me it looks like a council block. Having grown up in one, it’s not something I aspire to live in!!

    I worked for a large law firm and one of the partners had a flat in the Barbican and my Scottish colleagues commented that she lives in a tenement block ?! They expected her to live in a large white stucco house, that was their view of London.

  15. Lovely photos – do I see some of The Brunswick Centre in there? If not you should definitely visit!

  18. What are those apartments in the latter half of this list? I forget where they are, but I remember spending a lot of my weekends as a child in one of them. My mum would dump there me on saturday afternoons with a weird chain smoking friend who would make me do maths tests or something. I remember them being horrendously hot in the summer.

  19. Depressing comes to mind. As a fellow photographer these are not my cup of tea but to each their own. From the comments it seems you loved it and people are enjoying the work so that’s what matter.

  22. There is something kinda nice about the barbican and other brutalist buildings when covered in plants

  23. These are great, picture 2 could have been taken long ago if not for spotting the phone users…loved the framing and no, don’t zoom out as someone else suggested!

  28. I used to live right next to Rowley Way. That was 40 years ago though. Lovely pictures.

  30. Genuinely though pic 4 was upside down. 🙃
    Great collection of photos!

  32. I took my wife to the Barbican conservatory as a surprise. When we first got to the complex she thought we were in the set of “Attack the block” and thought we were going to get stabbed.

    She loved it when she got there though 😂

  34. I grew up for a time on Rowley Way.

    Its crazy to me to see the obsession that has developed over time. The people where generally very nice but it had a simmering undertone of gang war. I remember when someone set fire to (what seemed to me as a kid) the whole play area in the 90s.

    I associate it with the poverty of my youth. Now I see friends of friends buying up the flats and it becoming fashionable and makes me feel weird.

  35. Great shots. London has so many angles. I love wandering around the Barbican and along the South Bank.

  36. 1600sq/km and ~9mil people in London and ya boy didn’t leave EC2.

    That’s a classic.
