Nice pictures.

I live close to Shepherd's Bush and Notting Hill. In fact, the Seven Up store is at the end of my street and I visit many of the areas shown on a regular basis including walking through the (foul smelling

) sheep tunnel.

Hope you don't mind, but I would like to contribute these photos to the thread of a couple of interesting modern houses in Notting Hill.

Great pics! The skyline have certainly grown since my visit!

cool pics..I always look out for your threads

Thanks for the pics, Olga.

I must admit I have not been to London. I had some rave reviews about the city living in London from one American from Philly who lived there for a year on sabbatical... But as I keep looking and looking at various pics - the city just does not win over my heart. Maybe this will change if I ever have chance to spend some time there.

Great photos, Olga. So many great shots.

- Awesome!

I don't mind at all, on the contrary.

I really like the building on the first photo. The second one - meh... I guess the first one is a completely new structure, while the second one is a rebuilt old house. Or maybe not?

Excellent!

A poster on a rival forum went nuts when I recently posted my photos featuring the same areas he had photographed onto his thread and demanded I removed them.

As for the houses, I think the first one is actually a (major) rennovation of the building that was already there. Meanwhile, the second house (with the Merc outside) is a new build replacing another modern house which stood there but sadly I don't have photos of. The previous house had much larger front windows.

Tired of London? I'll get tired of London right before I get tired of women.

It's generally considered bad form to post additional pics to a photo thread unless it really adds something to the discussion.

I believe it did, because the route (a rather unknown/deserted part of London) that the photos were of was the same route I had also decided to photograph only a couple of days earlier but had not posted them up yet.

My photos added included parts that the thread starter had not photographed and in fact I had continued the journey further.

I was rather impressed that two different people from the same forum had decided to visit and photograph the same unknown/deserted part of London with two days of each other. Sadly, they weren't.

Ah well, never mind.
