More people at work, lovely stuff from Charlotte on the way to the Arsenal.

traffic warden
A smiling traffic warden? Would you believe it. Do they have the easiest job in London?
At the emirates
Yet more ladies advertising some sort of business, this time at the Emirates stadium. They look considerably warmer than the last few.
Soho
Another one from Tiffany.
It takes guts to take these kind of photos - maybe it's the kind of guts that only a lady photographer would have.
Stunning, the tale of centuries on the faces of these women.
Soho
One of my favourite shots yet for 365Londoners.
Night time in Soho, what London's been about for centuries.

charlotte, piccadilly
long dark winter nights when no-one sees the daylight and something's always going on behing half seen glass doors.
lovely, like a film still.
London.
Lovely light, lovely focus on the central subject. Interesting - want to know what everyone's looking at. Do you?

Kornelusz Zaczek is his name.
More comings and goings at Victoria.
Recently I read a terrific book - "Rodinsky's Room" by Rachel Lichtenstein.
It's a wonderful insight into the Spitalfields area, the remains of the Jewish community who once lived there, and the imapct of other waves of immigration (Huguenots to Bangladesh, now Eastern Europe too) on the area. It's very movingly written as the author also journeys to Eastern Europe to find the remains of communities there.
I'd definitely recommend it, particularly to anyone watching the way East London is changing these days, to see how it was not so long ago.
Victoria
A whole series from Eamon of arrivals and departures.
A lovely little set. Who knows where from or where to? victoria station is one of those great arrivals points in London. A lousy place to arrive though, a bit soulless and lonely.
ElectriciansOldStreet
an old one from Jane - who collects photos of workers in their workwear from round London and lists them by postcode. An interesting idea, and an interesting collection. Hope to see more from her soon.
chloe football
An alternative side of London - female football players. Gives the men something to watch this summer because there won't be any men's football on!
Excellently put together shot by David, as always.
High visibility
In two minds whether to blog this photo or not.
One of the things I wanted to achieve through this blog is an insight into the many faceted sides and the many various communities that make up London. Well I don't think we've got very far with that, most of the photos are either clubbing, or people in the street - basically people openly interacting with others. This photo is a "snatched" shot, but well composed and featuring Londoners, after all.
I'd like to continue the project into next year and work harder at trying to find different places and groups of people to photograph. It's become harder because I now live abroad but as ever I'm open to suggestions and would like to meet people who are keen to expand this project, possibly people with contacts within different communities, or those who work with volunteer or charitable groups, or other projects which may be of interest to the wider London photographic community.
poppy day
How often do you see a young man like this selling poppies? Great that young people care about a worthy cause such as supporting veterans and remembering those lost at war.
Black and White
Stark and devoid of colour, the atmospheric black and white shot remains as powerful as ever. Great stuff from Lewis.
YI0119
Real and imaginary Londoners are out enjoying the fact that a great London landmark, St Pancras station, has risen from the ruins and now we can get to Paris in just over 2 hours. Can't wait to try it out! Has anyone been?

Love the sharpness, the movement, and the way you can almost hear the music. Great!
vivid
People may thing that London is grey and dreary, particularly as November and short days roll around.
Eamon begs to differ though.
