lovelondonscenes 145 – Fish eye fun from Southwark Bridge to Vauxhall

Yesterday I went for a stroll along the Thames, partly to clear out the cobwebs after an awesome leaving party (mine!) and to try out a couple of little lenses that you attach to your iPhone camera. A gift from a good friend on Friday. I took the tube to London Bridge, wandered through an unbelievably crowded Borough Market – gave up the idea of getting a Bratwurst and a beer –  and emerged by the river near Southwark Bridge. And started snapping. Here are a few takes.

Railway bridge between London and Southwark bridges. Must have a name, but I don’t know it.

Southwark Bridge on the left.

Millenium Bridge

Riverboat pier.

St Paul’s and Millenium Bridge.

Blackfriars Bridge, with the City skyscape lurking.

Wide angle version.

From a little jetty.

Westminster perspectives from Albert Embankment.

Used to work over there!

Tamesis Dock – pub/club on a boat, Albert Embankment. Have had some good times there!

And had a really good time here on Friday night – my leaving party. The Rose pub, Albert Embankment.

Vauxhall bus and tube station, just off the bridge.

  1. Nice gift!
    I’m curious though about many of the the images – did they get cropped as you shot them or did you do that later?

    Not sure about that lens!
