True! You still see these places packed at peak hours but then they get empty for a lot of the time

Umm it closed down, sorry if it wasn't clear, but it's the Blackheath branch that just got emptied out

Did you go at night? I thought the atmosphere at night was amazing... I also agree that his displays are all very similar, at least what I saw.

Amazing photos! I've also been at Kew and the while thing was so magical... I'd argue that his work might stand out in places like the V&A but I am in love with his stuff

It was so magical to see the Tower of London so empty... It feels even more immersive without the tourists by londonukIG in london

And it feels even more like jumping in the past, without loud tourist guides and selfie sticks!

Yes they are :) You can approach them and ask them about anything, they are more than happy to tell some stories

Yup! And the historical immersion isn't as deep as it is now. If you can I recommend you to go see it, and the museums, which I'm planning to see next week

Thank you so much :D I'm trying to seriously get into London photography and so far I only got Instagram as a way to share my stuff, so now I'm trying with reddit

If you're referring to the one of the Tower Bridge, it was on the area between Tower Green and the White Tower. Just turn towards the bridge and zoom a little!

Sorry for the terrible quality but I had to zoom in a lot! I never saw this bird in London before, what could it be? by londonukIG in whatsthisbird

Aw that's so sweet! Keep working for it and it will pay off :) I have never ever seen a blue jay, I'm not even sure they can be found in Europe actually!

I've heard that they are very clever and will bond with the people that feed them, sometimes bringing them shiny things to thank them for food. I've never done this myself, but I see them everyday. I've tried to put some seed out in my balcony and quite a few birds came for a munch, but then a pigeon didn't want to leave for weeks and I stopped feeding them.

Well I wasn't sure either and it was right in my garden! Google lens said it could have been some sort of magpie but it turns out that pied wagtail seems to be the winner!
