Font thing. Hythe. Looks like it belongs in Italy.

Signspotting in Hythe. What a lovely clock.

Can you see him? I wonder if he's found what he's looking for yet? He won't find it in Manor Park.

Did a bit more #capitalring the other day. Here's the lovely 17th century Charlton House resplendent in the sunshine. #walklondon #tfl #walking #wandering #exploring #outdooradventures #london #thisislondon #sunshine #summer #mansion #history #heritage #jacobethan #park #exploreeverywhere #exploreeverything #mylondon #secretlondon #southeastlondon #dériveur #wanderer #londonblogger #iglondon #onfoot #architecture #wallporn #bricks

I had to go to Tilbury, the end of the world. Quite a depressing experience. Here's the derelict Rourke's Drift Guest House - many layers of weird irony if you're familiar with what Tilbury is like, and have seen the film Zulu..

Desolate old works entrance with 1937 inscription. North Woolwich. #capitalring #walking #exploring #wandering #woolwichferry #woolwichfoottunnel #newham #silvertown #industry #industrialheritage #wallporn #bricks #eastlondon #london #mylondon #reallondon #typography #1937 #doorway #riverthames #urbex #exploreeverywhere #exploreeverything #psychogeography #deriveur #derelict #abandoned #ruins

Started walking the Capital Ring ( in 4 mile sections which is about my limit these days). Did North Woolwich to Charlton Park - so many dead pubs on the way. The Victoria.

I adore this sign and its lovely vintage vibes. 'i favour fruit drops' what about you?! Lea Bridge Road.

Wham 1830. Successful ironsmiths before bizarre 1980s career pivot... Less fancifully, it's St Andrew & St George, anglo-scots ironworks, and the bollard predates the surrounding housing, so it's been relocated from somewhere at some point in time..
