Land Mines, Old Cars & A London Walk<\/strong>: My afternoon in London on Saturday 1st November 2003 in text and pictures. I only posted five pictures back in 2003 because most of us were then still on slow dial-up connections, so I’ll add a few more here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started the month with a rather more varied day on 1st November in Trafalgar Square, Campaigners against the use of land mines had built a tall pile of shoes. it’s hard to think of our country as civilised when we look at our record on arms sales and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, along in Waterloo Place was a chance to see some of the cars and owners who were to take part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Rally the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strolling across London back towards Waterloo, there were some dramatic views of the skyline, such as this image of the London Eye and Horse Guards Parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wandered on to Vauxhall with some dramatic river views, and to St Agnes Place, for many years a centre for alternative cultures, and the oldest squatted street in London, now threatened by eviction by Lambeth Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
