Beak Street, Soho Another bustling Soho scene. I love the narrow streets and the way the sunlight cuts the road in half. |

Shop, Soho The shops around Soho are constantly changing and evolving, redecorating themselves and trying to attract attention away from the bigger chain stores. This is one of my favourite parts of London because I’ve worked there on and off ever since my first job in telly back in the early 1990s. |

Bank Holiday, Soho I walked into work on the bank holiday Monday after Easter and London was deserted, at least until the shops on Oxford street opened at about 10 O’clock, and even then the streets around Soho were dead quiet. Outside this ad agency someone had found a place to sleep, and someone else had dumped a load of Imac packing cases. 1999 was the year of the Imac. We fell in love with their funky, anti-grey appearance, and the fact that they didn’t have all that ugly hard-drive boxiness. We all got Imacs at Rapido, and a year later I bought one for myself, it was blue, very expensive and I loved it. |

Easter Sunday, Highgate London sometimes seems to fall asleep on the big public holidays, like Easter, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Places feel deflated without the bustle of ‘normal’ work days and the rush of chores and leisure at the weekends. Londoners seem to hole up indoors and the streets can sometimes feel a bit dead, like here in Highgate on Easter Day. |

Good Friday, Belsize Park This was Good Friday and I had been into work in the morning and then RT met me in the afternoon and we walked home through Camden and Hampstead. We used to like long walks around the capital. It felt good being out in the Spring weather and having a whole two days off work. |
