I became a tourist in London last weekend. Travelling on a boat from Westminster to Greenwich, curving around the Thames and seeing bits of the city move from left to right; it was a breath of fresh air compared to train commutes.
The waterways of London are a welcome reprieve from the gridlocked roads, offering a peace that only seems to be emitted from water. I never knew London could be relaxing and the boat crew spoke with each other as members of a close community, calmly making their way across the water beating the rush of traffic on land.
As I work in London the city has always been part of my professional identity, in my spare time I prefer to escape to greener lands. Last weekend was different though and I attempt to show that through my pictures below.
