A crazy, crazy week at work, and I really had to force myself to leave the office at lunchtime to get some air. The pictures and commentary below are from three separate wanders over the space of two lunchtimes and one early morning.
The street below, Kensington Church Street, is probably one of my favourite streets in London. Unassumingly tucked away behind the bustle of Kensington High Street, it would be easy to miss, despite being home to Barbara Hulanicki's Biba in 1966.

Walking up Kensington Church Street and into the streets and mews beyond, is Drayson Mews. A quaint little mews, unusually curved, with a hairdressers and car garage.

Later in the same week I found myself in Hammersmith, returning from a pleasant lunchtime drift around Ravenscroft Park, when I spotted this ghost sign.

And finally, on my morning stroll into one of the offices, I noticed this ghost sign for the first time, despite having walked past it many times before.
KINNIMONT

TRADE
ENTRANCE
I somehow doubt that much trade enters through this portal today.
