Re: Trip to London 1966
Great!
A fifteen year old with an eye for a picture and good composition.
I don't know London well, but know that shows an entirely different world!

Been to nearly all of those "man and boy" so to speak.
My wife was a guest inside Buckingham Palace for Charles and Diana's wedding!

Re: Trip to London 1966
Things really were black and white in those days
Just look at the cabling along the edge of the bridge...I doubt it would be allowed to simply lay cabling like that nowadays in case someone tried to sue the council for a trip hazard on that side of the bridge wall

Re: Trip to London 1966
Thanks for the link Bnc. Wonderfully evocative pictures of the London where I was living in the 60's - in the top flat of a 5-storey walk-up just off Oxford Circus. We watched the Post Office tower being built from our living room window but moved away before it was completed. So many memories - the coffee bars, Berwick Street Market on Saturdays and taking long evening walks through deserted West End streets.

That was nice. I was 8 and in the same areas, it was very characterful place, dirty but not threatening.
If you like this sort of thing BFI has some interesting film compilations for free viewing, including this which I particularly like as it shows my grandmothers house at a time she was a few month old.

I was thinking exactly the same before seeing this or other comments; many of those compositions are very sophisticated for a then 15YO!
