.jpg "London Neal's Yard")
I'm back from my sunny, almost-no-rain trip to London which was nothing but awesome. This time I stayed for a whole week but regardless my non-touristic aim of the visit, I feel like I'd walked the entire London on my feet and saw it all once more. I just can't get enough of London! But. If you are waiting to see photos of Big Ben, red telephone boots or Piccadilly, I will disappoint you, as this time my camera was focused on colors. Vivid, happy colors of London and it's funky places worth visiting if you are looking for something alternative to see. I decided to split my London trip into three photo-parts featuring - The colors of London, Clerkenwell Design week 2014 and the shopping part (of course). So there are two more posts to come. I stayed with my best friends so apart from being serious camera abuser, there was a lot of catching up, laughing, loving and partying involved. It was all crazy fun... and I miss it already!
Each time I'm in London I visit the Covent garden market (and Portobello market and Borough market) - there is just so much to see and taste in these places.
The colorful place above is a courtyard, located just a few minutes walk from Covent garden.
If you love colors it's a must-see! You can also have a drink or food there if you wish to.
Isn't this window decorated for the Chelsea flower show gorgeous?
Oh and there's the London Eye. I said, no Big Ben, not London Eye! :)
Once again Neal's Yard above and China town below.
That's it for now. Hope you enjoyed this colorful moment! :) I will be also sharing with you photos from Clarkenwell design week and little design/decor shopping guide very soon.
What are your favorite places in London?
Love that you've chosen such colorful views through the lens of your camera. As many times as I've visited London I never came back home with so many vivid photos. Note to self: Next time think "rainbow" when travelling to London. That being said, some of my favorite places in London are all the wonderful museums. Not fun for my feet, but a feast for the eyes (and mind).
ReplyDeleteHello Birgit, same here - usually my photos were dominated by the iconic spots and standard colors which is why I've decided to focus on different stuff this time :) I also love London museums (especially the V&A and Tate modern) but even without visiting them I ended up with feet pain! But I can't complain as It was totally worth it! :) Thanks for visiting xo
DeleteWow, what a color power Aga! I was expecting to see unique London (no Big Ben and telephone boots ;)) through the lens of your camera but these colors really killed me (in a good way!). I love the intensity and young vibe here and thanks for showing me the side of London I had never seen. Have a nice evening xo
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that you like it and yes I know the colors are killers (hence the warning! :) I have to admit I was trying to make London look a bit different so really glad to hear that it worked! Hugs xo
DeleteZaskakująco ciekawe połączenia kolorystyczne, świetny pomysł z pokazaniem Londynu od innej strony. Piękne zdjęcia, czekam na kolejne części relacji. Ja byłam w Londynie 12 lat temu, najbardziej podobało mi się Science Museum i Hyde Park :). Marzę, żeby tam wrócić.
ReplyDeleteDzięki Aniu! Niestety nie udało mi się dotrzeć do żadnego muzeum, ale Hyde Park prezentuje się jak zwykle pięknie (tym bardziej, że pogoda była zadziwiająco ładna!) W takim razie życzę Ci żeby to marzenie spełniło się jak najszybciej :) Buźka!
DeleteAga super jest oglądać Londyn twoimi oczami :)))) każde miasto ma swoje cudne miejsca ..wystarczy je tylko wypatrzeć :)))) a kolory cudne i pięknie złapane w kadr!!! buziole
ReplyDeleteMoje oczy ostatnio są bardzo kolorowe Aguś więc nie mogłam sie powstrzymać od takich fotek. Na pewno są INNE ale właśnie o to mi chodziło :D Aż sama się dziwię, że wyszło aż tak kolorowo! Dzięki za miłe słowa! Buziaki :))
DeleteI love London and your wonderful photos reminded me that how much I've missed there. A friend of mine lives chiswick park in London and I really love that place, you can find many nice shop, park and restaurants...
ReplyDeleteChiswick is a really nice area, when I lived in London I used to hang out there :) Thanks for stopping by and your lovely comment! :)
DeleteI have never been to London but I would love to go. Also, we like the same colors so wowza what a gorgeous eye fill you offered me! I feel satiated with color goodness!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has been to London several times. I am so grateful she has had the opportunity.
I love London and feel very lucky I could study and live there for a few years. I've been color hunting this time and I'm happy to hear that you like the pictures, however they are not standard London colors, as you probably know! ;)) Thank you for visiting, really glad to have another color-lover here! :)
