Gallery Urban Exploration London Wanderer

I was staying in Croydon – a neighborhood Id never heard of until being dropped off in its guts by my coach. All I can tell you about this place is it’s very far from London and Kate Moss lived there before she made it. Also, this is precisely why you should not book hotels through budget travel agencies. Fortunately, a train station was a short walk away, making escape somewhat convenient. So to London I went.
At night, everything changes. There is something to be said for visiting usually populated tourist areas after dark, when everything is closed and the employees have gone home. You get a glimpse into the secret lives of buildings and the city itself. My first London evening was spent walking through an almost empty Trafalgar square, passing sleeping monuments and wondering why there was no one there to enjoy the streetlights and the silence.

I love the way you take pictures. Now I feel like I was there, too, looking at it in a non-touristy, personalized way. Thanks.

Thanks, miss G! I hope you get a chance to pay a visit and see it for yourself, but for now I’m happy to offer the photos.

After a night of it, in the early hours before dawn, my fiance and I walk home to Camden from wherever we are. It normally involves heading into town to come back out again. We mix it up by either walking through the West End or through the City Mile/Bank. Both areas are lit absolutely stunningly and you get to see and enjoy the architecture and miniature moonlit parks before everyone awakes for the rat race. I love it. Thankyou for sharing.
