Inside the Grade II listed tower of St Mary Islington - on the way up the tower to the viewing platform nearer the top. Well worth the tour and visit if you can

Civil society is one of the UK’s greatest assets, but it needs a Civil Society Evidence Organisation (CSEVO): a hub to access evidence, cut duplication & support smarter decisions.

We have a plan. £2.5m over 5 yrs, co-funded by government and the sector.

In the churchyard of St Magnus the Martyr there are some stones from the medieval London Bridge - and incredibly this chunk of wood is thought to be a pile from the original Roman bridge. You can touch it. The tree it came from lived over 2,000 years ago!

And the official end of my September challenge - but I will still try to post regularly.

This is a fire projected on the dome of St Paul's in 2016 as part of a series of events to mark the 350th anniversary of the great fire of London. It was a video projection and very moving.

Sheep crossing Southwark Bridge today in the annual sheep drive celebrating a Freeman's ancient "right" to bring sheep to market over the Thames, toll free.
I didn't manage to get a ticket this year but will try again next year!

Almost 2000 year old underfloor heating system at the Billingsgate Roman House and Baths.

I was blown away by these Roman remains from around 150 AD in the basement of an office block on Lower Thames Street. Worth a visit.

This is Gog.
The west gallery of Guildhall is guarded at both ends by the statues of Gog and Magog, the giants who represent the legendary pre-Christian foundation myth of London. This was crafted in 1953 to replace the originals which dated from 1709

Whitehall from St James's Park on a rainy day.

Yes. I know I have a thing about water or ceilings which form a high proportion of the photos on my phone...

I was lucky enough to spend a day at Guildhall while volunteering for Open House London & got to look inside the magnificent Great Hall up close.

This is an unusual view of the hall & may not look like much, however, it's actually a very rare 15th century window made from cow horn! 🐄

I've visited lots of old buildings with heraldic shields in stained glass. I often wondered if they replaced whole windows to add new coats of arms.
Here at Barnard's Inn Hall you can see the blank shields that were built in but never used.
First blank ones I've seen.

Mansion House ceiling. Photo doesn't do it justice. Much more impressive in real life

Tell me it's @opencity-uk.bsky.social Open House London week without telling me it's Open House London week....

Walked 100km on walks and visits so far, before my volunteering shifts today and tomorrow.

Still lots of places you can visit this weekend without a booking

We are lucky to have a range of historic architecture in London in civic and religious buildings that still exist today, but I'm always in awe of this Tudor house in Smithfield which survived the Great Fire of London and much more over the last 400+ years.

Fitzrovia Chapel. A hidden gem - took me ages to find it in a square surrounded by new buildings. Unimposing Victorian red brick on the outside, but gothic revival with golden mosaics on the inside. Worth a visit

WWII stretcher built into a wall as a trellis on a 1950s housing estate in Bethnal Green - although the plants have died on this side of the wall. Shadows of the war are seen all over London in the damage, architecture and features, but sometimes hidden unless you take time to look

Pixie House on a tree stump in Goswell Road a few years ago.
I often say people should look up to see London's hidden gems and quirks, but in this case it was looking down that brightened my day!
