Welcome to #Stratford, east #London, where daily knife checks are nothing unusual..
Banned from Edward VII pub in #Stratford due to an overly clueless, rude landlord who didn't realise what a public house actually is. Tried aggressively telling us we need permission to take photos before being educated. Obviously, he doesn't realise what a PUBLIC house is.. Mug

Heartbeaking time-lapse 🔉⬆️

Birth of the #OlympicSite & the death of #Stratford, #London. Notice the Railway Tavern pub (bottom left). The modern concept of "progress" is but a destructive, disturbing con.

How to utterly DESTROY #London!
The historic cobbled streets & warehouses of #ButlerWharfs in #ShadThames (#TowerBridge - St Saviour's Dock) are something I consider very dear to me. Like most of what I love & miss, others have tried to "FIX" that which was never broken.

What this stunning complex of wharves, warehouses, and mills really needs are tacky, unattractive bits of steel and glass slapped on as if designed by a lazy child. That will make the place look much better, In fact, nock it down. We need a new #Stratford.

World War - SOLVED!

WELCOME to the "World Peace Garden" in affluent #Hampstead, #London. Be you in #Hacnkey or #Palestine, fear not, the peace Garden has it covered. The opulently wealthy have it all sussed. I wonder how well such rules would last at #Stratford Station? 🌹
In my youth, the area of #Stratford/#Hackney was always a place for the less fortunate to find refuge or for the lower classes to start a business of their own. Now, even the slums that once hid us from the world are being used to replace the places that once brought us together.

I turned a corner I've turned so many times only to be met by an empty space in which I've never seen. It's hard enough to find character among the new builds of today, yet we're destroying the few unique structures we have. This can only ensure a bland, cultureless future.

Last home game of the season for #WestHam

@ Britains___Pubs

Get down to the #Carpenters where you'll find music, an outside bar and plenty of atmosphere. A few minutes walk from West Hams stadium, this is one of #Stratfords last gems. ⚒️

This moment silently says so very much, about so many wrongs.
The Cats of East #London have plagued my conscience since my youth. My family had warehouse units on the border of #WestHam/#Stratford.

In the yards existed tough strays who'd use our warehouses to give birth. Their lives are one of incredible hardship. I used to save as many litters as possible, even taking some of the kittens home.

Before this experience I used to think I hated Cats, but upon years of helping them I realised what I hated most was suffering.

Life is incredibly difficult even with others to comfort you. Without, it's barely even a life at all.

Today, we're so uncaring of our fellow humans that we're forever slipping away from a world fit for all species.
Lockkeeper's Cottage near Blaker Road, #Stratford, #London, was an important director of the waterway links between City Mill River flowing into Bow Back River & Three Mills Wall River. This (now) residential building is one of a few reminders of Stratfords past.

May We Remember
(9/11) 🏙

Behind me is a piece of the twin towers that now sits in #Stratford, #London. As each year passes, we become a little more desensitised to such horrors. 23 years on, and if feels as though we've learnt nothing.
