Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park…

St Mark’s Church, in Prince Albert Road, north of Regent’s Park, south of Primrose Hill…

Feng Shang Chinese Restaurant, Regent’s Park Canal, north of Regent’s Park…

Atop Primrose Hill, and the weather today was mercifully kind ;)…

“I have conversed with the spiritual sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill.” William Blake, English poet and artist (1757-1827)…

Zooming in, to show St. Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard, London’s tallest building…

In Queen Mary’s Garden, Regent’s Park…

Also in Queen Mary’s Garden…

Queen Mary’s Garden waterfall water coursing over a mossy stone…

So here it is, the year’s final London image on this photoblog: the connecting passage between the Bakerloo and Northern Lines at Embankment Tube station…:).

A frock in a shop window, a roadside flower…and a truly excellent evening gig by the Manfreds…

Was tempted to upload another Halloween shop window photo…but this one appealed to me more…

A rain-spattered flower, in Southampton Road. Titchfield at lunchtime today…

Spent the best part of the evening watching the first gig of The Manfreds’ 50th Anniversary Tour at the Kings Theatre, Albert Road, Southsea, and it was easily the best gig I’ve seen in quite a while, with Paul Jones, Mike d’Abo, Tom McGuinness, Mike Hugg and others. It finished with dancing in the aisles and standing ovations…a great evening’s entertainment :).

Eжевика…and Albert Road at nightfall.

If you ever wondered where ‘yizhivika’ originated…here’s the answer, ежевика, Russian for ‘blackberries’ 😉

Towards the eastern end of Albert Road…The Bold Forester, and The Leopold pubs.

And at the western end of Albert Road, outside of the King’s Theatre.
