These photographs form part of the London Image Collection and cover a range of aspects from Holborn via Farringdon to Clerkenwell and trendy Clerkenwell Green. This is an interesting part of London dedicated to not only locals, but especially weekday workers - from market traders to insurance providers, cutting edge designers to trendy jewellers, internet service providers to international bankers, cigar sellers to retailers to Gray's Inn lawyers. As a result, the area has many excellent, and occasionally quirky, pubs.
Images found here depict a range of historic and modern architecture: the terracotta-coloured Prudential Assurance building (featured on Old Holborn tobacco tins); the muscular balcony statuary overlooking Holborn Viaduct and High Holborn, a playful modern Clerkenwell townhouse; the gardens (the' Walks') of Gray's Inn with people enjoying the lunchtime sun; medieval St. John's Gate; and Conway Hall - HQ of the South Place Ethical Society. Also find pictures of flowery pubs, colourful pubs, people gathered before a pub, a man with pint reading in front of a pub, and various pub signs. There is also a selection of 'street' photographs of early morning deliveries to hole-in-the-wall restaurants, a colourful City of London pavement bollard, a nifty motor scooter parked before a hi-tech business facade, a Salvation Army multiple cat poster, and a cardboard sign addressed to a bicycle thief!
