This is Fleet Street on a quiet Sunday morning, running from Ludgate Circus in the east - where the Fleet River used to run beside the old city walls and into the Thames (it now flows entirely underground) - to the Temple in the west (the former home of the Knights Templar in the middle ages) and marking the old boundary of the city.

For centuries it was the home of printing and newspapers in London and the area around which congregated the great Inns of Court.

I like this part of town - not quite in the City and not quite in the West End - somehow sandwiched in the middle - neither one thing nor the other... perhaps I just don't like pigeon-holing.

It's pure London. I love the vintage air redro · 2010-06-30: 12:46
