In a couple of weeks I will be starting a new job, away from the hustle and bustle of the City of London, so today I decided to take the afternoon off and grab a few photos of the area before I left. It was a pretty dull and rainy day but after catching up with a friend for lunch I headed out for a wander. First stop was Bunhill burial grounds. This quiet little spot is hidden away just off Old Street, and you can often catch lots of office workers grabbing some lunch, and weather permitting, a little bit of sun. It is also the resting place of authors Daniel Defoe and William Blake.
In a sea of grey headstones this interesting black one grabbed my attention.
Next I headed towards Bank to look at all the grand old buildings and statues.
I was pretty taken by this Wind in the Willows book bench. Apparently there are 50 different designs based on different books scattered around London, so I'm now on a mission to see if I an find a Hobbit one!
I think my favourite thing about this part of London is the way the old buildings, new skyscapers and mix of sculptures all mingle happily together.
One thing I love doing, and I don't think I do enough of is just to look up.
So although it's not my favourite part of London it was still fun to take my time and just wander round the city.
