I've been reading lots of Charles Dickens since moving to London, fascinating stuff when you know the areas that he speaks of. nothing is even close to looking like what it did when he roamed the streets, but still fun to think of his characters wandering the streets. Really that is one reason why I started taking these pictures. I don't have away with words the way he did, not can I write in an accent that he is famous for, but I do finding it amazing how different many of these places look at night.
Here are a few more walkways that are in my neighbourhood, I never realised how many there are until I started looking for them.
Here are a few in central London, these are taking near and around my favourite pub called the Lamb and Flag, it is in an alley/walkway.
It is situated in a nice part of town as you can see the shop in some of the photos above. It is set back in the alley and it used to host bare knuckle boxing matches out front as well as be a haven for prostitutes to pick up clients.
The entrance to the pub.
The entrance is located at the end of this alley, you can see the read sign down on the left near the street light.
It looks scarier than it is, as I said it is in a nice part of London near China Town, Piccadilly Circus and Tottenham Court Road.
Just down the street near a number of Theaters and restaurants you find alleys like this, really bright and people smoking.
