A Door in A Door

Spotted in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London….

A stunning oak doorway.

It’s pretty big and well built.

And pretty old, too. Like about 500 years old. Cool, eh?

Westminster Doors

There is something so enticing, so charming about a mews.

While in London recently, and enroute to the Victoria & Albert Museum, we stumbled upon this beauty.

What an amazing collection of inviting doorways!

All on one small street! Okay … not a street. A Mews.

The spring flowers helped, too!

Tower Doors

We tried to be early enough in the day to beat the crowds. And we almost managed it.

Today we made our way around the Tower of London. And for you … some doors pics!!

From the chapel.

A glance out the window….

And a peak into a very old loo …

And, of course, a greeting from one of the ravens:

Thanks for dropping by!!

Borough Market

We grabbed a coffee here – from the cutest little coffee venue ever. Just a couple of weeks ago. 

Here in Borough Market in London. 

The coffee was fantastic!  And the vibe here was electric!  The sights. The smells. The flavours!  We stayed for lunch, which we picked up from a Somalian vendor … and it was delicious!  

There were so many people.

Afterwards, we walked across London Bridge. 

The news of yesterday’s attacks has me retracing our steps in my mind. 

Heartbreaking. 

And Senseless.

London Doors

We walked ALOT during our recent visit to London. Sooooo much to see. And so little time. But i would argue that the very best way to really see a city is from the street. 

And I couldn’t help but collect a few photos of Doors along the way….. 

The gates to Kensington Palace.

The Household Cavalry Door. 

A pub door. 

Doors at Shakesphere’s Globe Theatre

The Door to Spencer House

Near St. James Park. 

A Fleet Street Door – and friendly doorman. 

And, of course, the doors to Canada House … with Nelson’s Column reflected in the window.

Reflecting …

A couple of moments of peaceful reflection in the middle of London – the self-proclaimed “capital city of the world”.  

A swan and some clouds in Hyde Park, London.

The view from the bridge in St. James Park.

Doors of Portobello Road

Exploring Notting Hill, just over a week ago, we were treated to some gorgeous doorways along this famous, vibrant road.  Let’s take a walk ….

Each of the entrances to these terraced houses have such a lot of individuality and personality.  

And, at No 22, the the former home of George Orwell. 

That’s enough walking.  Time for a cup of tea …. or maybe a gin & tonic.
