Comments on: The Nights Of Old London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/10/08/the-nights-of-old-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 06 Dec 2022 19:58:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.13 By: Kemi https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/10/08/the-nights-of-old-london/#comment-1493631 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 19:58:03 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=71490#comment-1493631 Even in 2022 I’m watching those pictures as an artist to draw the beauty of “Old London night”.
I’m gonna use only Liners and i’ll make only stripes to play with the contrast between lights and shadows.

Like byghostlight I was also confused by image 426. Although I could see similarities to Selfridges, what became of the lions and statue on the roof, and the circular windows between columns and those wonderfully ornate lampposts?

I wasn’t suggesting that you hung about the parks late at night! I meant myself…
I lived on Margaret Street just at the back of Oxford Street for a couple of years whilst training at drama school. If I couldn’t get home at the weekends, I used to get to some of the parks as early as possible (Before the crowds). Whilst preparing for my stage fight exams, my flat mate & fellow ‘would be’ thespian, would use Regents Park to practice in… We must have looked a sight pretending to knock seven bells out of each other and also rehearsing our sword and dagger routine with bamboo canes… I laugh when I think of it now. Great times…
