ANOTHER BIT OF OLD LONDON..

I took this photograph last Sunday on my photo walk. I'm a big fan of cobbles especially in photographs, these are in Gough Square just off Fleet Street and are perfect. The house at the far end in the centre of the picture was the home of the famous writer Dr Samuel Johnson in the 18th century, it was here that he wrote his great Dictionary of the English Language.

This is just one of the quite squares and alleyways that we discovered in the heart of London, as Dr Johnson said 'if a man is tired of London, he is tired of life'..
