In Picadilly where Eros aims his bow into rain clouds...
... Hatchards is a cosy and welcoming refuge
its windows drawing you in irresistibly
to a warm, book-stuffed interior
Right next door is Fortnum's
with delicious windows set up for the new season
And across the road the Royal Academy
gives a glimpse through to the courtyard
and a newly opened exhibition
Back outside as an iconic red bus rumbles past
Richoux beckons for hot chocolate
Victorian Princes Arcade is a refuge from the rain
Sorry, did I suggest we might be going inside any of these places? No time, it's back to work...
It's been too many years since I was in London, and so I send you a big thank you for this walk in the rain.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
London does have its charms, doesn't it? You have a great eye for photography, Karen, your pictures are vibrant and do this little corner of the city justice. How appealing is that "warm, book-stuffed interior"?! Very!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice stroll!
I enjoyed walking along!
ReplyDeleteNext time, though, we'll have a look inside,
well, more like we'll sit down and sip some tea, won't we, pleease?
A wonderful Sunday to you!
