Wow! Those are fantastic once again!

[PhilippeMtl]

My favourites: 29, 33, 34 , 43, 74, 92

[keninhalifax]

Very well shown, Mr. Trout! I like the frequent appearances of Vespas.

[kool maudit]

is 92 just north of bayswater? if so, i stayed there for a while.

[Kilgore Trout]

yeah, 92 is right in the middle of bayswater, two blocks from the queensway on queensborough terrace. it was taken from the hotel at which we stayed.

thanks, guys. by the way, i forgot to note which photos were taken by laine, so i've edited the post.

[muppet]

WOW. I absolutely love these pics and how youve captured a real sense of place, the true multicultural, postmodern face of London, not the usual blinkered postcards of ye olde Cittie.

I love these pics, they kind of embody what London is to me

monstrosity

btw the building being demolished in the last pic was voted the 10th ugliest in the country.

Once again BRAVO, I can't stop looking at these, its what Ive always wanted to show to the world about the true face of London, and youve done it, so :cheers:.

[Border City Boy]

Great stuff!

Glad they're finally knocking this mess down:

http://www.urbanphoto.net/gallerytwo/g2data/albums/London/169.JPG

[WesternGulf]

underrated thread. Beautiful.

[edmontonoilers89]

Awesome pictures once again. I love the vibe that London gives off. I want to come back there again so bad!

[cityskyscrapers]

Great set of street scenes! Including some of Brixton and Kingsway market.

[staff]

Totally amazing.
Thanks, kilgore.

[Sacto]

Cool thread!

[madonna]

Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[INDUSTRIAL PULSE]

Loving it Trout.

Man there's so many damn people everywhere!

[KevinFromTexas]

See, I was downtown today trying to act like Mr. Kilgore Trout, walking about and taking people pictures. But I doubt I pulled it off. I've come to the conclusion that Kilgore Trout and Chuck Norris have atleast 2 things in common: they both wait. It's like he's not even there when the camera clicks since the person hardly notices they've been photographed. It's like he sets up the camera and goes off to have a cup of coffee and read the news, and comes back to see what he's got.

Superb pictures, only the patient could get shots like that, KT.

[Kilgore Trout]

thanks, everybody.

[muppet]

How did you know where to look in London? You went on some very off the beaten path trails there, not the traditional visitors territory at all.

[Kilgore Trout]

research! i asked people on here and skyscrapercity and i also spent hours at the bookstore looking through travel guides -- lonely planet and rough guides, certainly, but also more esoteric ones like a guide to all of london's 350 public markets. in fact, the whole trip to dalston and stoke newington was based around a visit to the ridley road market. it's not exactly something that would interest most visitors but i absolutely adore street markets, especially ones as culturally diverse as that.

to be honest, though, five solid days of walking and especially going back and forth across down was extremely tiring. london is a huge city and next time i visit i will probably take it easier, with more aimless wandering and fewer marathon bus rides from notting hill gate to camden town.

[Paradox21]

Absolutely Stunning!!!!

[LSyd]

hell yeah, awesome shots. makes me want to quit my life here and move there.

-

[pierre-laurent]

very vibrant photoes, i've the impression to have a walk with all those people from the whole world!

[shappy]

I almost missed this thread before it slipped off into oblivion (page 2)! Ridiculously good set. London speaks to me like no other foreign land.

[Hoodrat]

Fantastic thread!...Oh, how I miss London (Greatest city in the world, imo).
Much thanks!

[Goody]

nice shots, love all the life

[James Bond Agent 007]

I hope they find Piggy!!! :(

[muppet]

who is Piggy?

[giovanni sasso]

y'know, bay windows are in no way exclusive to london, but #14 is just pure london. #64 is fun too.

nice show, fudge eater!

[Kilgore Trout]

who is Piggy?

the name of a lost cat on a poster in one of my photos.

[muppet]

Lost: Dog, 3 Legs, One Eye, Neutered, Answers To The Name Of 'lucky'

[JManc]

dood!

[boden]

Your photographs sing.

[muppet]

Things that go BUMP in the night

[Orishas]

i REALLY like your photos man.. some of the best photos i've seen actually..looking forward to see more threads....

im not really a fan of photography, but these are fucking awesome.. the intensity in them is so cool, and they really captures the urbanity..

please go to Sweden someday:)

[WesternGulf]

Thread is too good to die.

Oh, Balan's. Spent many a blurry morning in there trying to regain composure.

Massive thread. Outstanding.

[muppet]

^my fave pic of Londoo right now, it really captures the vibe on the streets

[olga]

Sweet. I want to go to London.

[M II A II R II K]

You sure covered alot of ground and captured the city well.

[TinChelseaNYC]

That is a thing of beauty--top to bottom.

[Ayreonaut]

Thanks for the revival Mark.

I love the parking set up in #33.

[Kingofthehill]

Very good.

[Chelsea Spy]

what a cool thread - thanks for reviving it - wonderful pictures that capture the diversity and energy of the world's greatest city - London has no equal. Brilliant!!!

[Top Of The Park]

so busy...so bustling! Great people place

[NBTD]

Wonderful pics - really captures the street life of London incredibly well.

[SuburbanNation]

what a beautiful mix of people in the most perfect built environment.

[-AX-]

I love London, nice to see these pics once again!

[Gregorius]

Nice. 54 and 70 definitely look familiar. Are they Notting Hill per chance? I used to work over there. I could be way off base, but 63 looks like the Ladbroke area... Great job capturing the essence of London, as someone already noted #65 with the girl and her phone really scream London to me. I miss it terribly

[Patachou]

I love London

[tdawg]

"Ladies" (tips hat). J/K. What a great tour! ;)
