Default London - not looking its best.

Was in London recently and decided to take a few shots here and there and realised that if you look closely at any city or place you can find things that really dont seem nice, fair or clean. All the photos were taken around 'Old street' tube station.

Nice piece of street art.

...I didn't go the facilities....

Welcome to Old street station.

Doesn't show in photo but above the begger is a signpost with directions, this woman was one of about ten people that totally ignored him.

Interesting life shots, but depressing.

as a ex-londoner, I can so identify with that last image. People just ignore the beggers because they "must all be alkies or druggies" and not deserving of money..... I have a real guilt issue walking past homeless people when there is this mentality all around me....

Thanks for showing the other side of the city that we don't usually see in photos

They were the scenes and your camera captured them. They portrayed exactly what I feel everytime I go to London. I enjoyed viewing them. Thanks. PAUL
