Remember the old 10 protection?

Remember 64 and 62 Traffic Points?


CANNON ROW looking SOUTH from DERBY GATE

Though shalt not pass !


CANNON ROW looking NORTH from BRIDGE STREET

Gates, guns and policemen sitting in vans seem to be the 'order of the day'.


Anyone recognise this famous building?

'AD's Annexe.


THE CHANGING FACE OF LONDON POLICING

Downing Street, and yet more gates, guns and policemen

Host's comment.

I for one hope and pray that this fairground appendage is removed as soon as possible from London's skyline. Possibly the premier and No 1 'view' in central London (looking EAST from the duck bridge in St. James' Park towards Horseguards Parade, whilst posted to 5 beat, early turn in August) has been totally ruined by this little thought out carbuncle on the face of London's historical architecture. Surely a more suitable venue could have been found for this horrendous 'sight' forced upon us all.

This is a personal view of your host and in no way is attributed  to Tom Renshaw. (sorry Tom and all visitors! I've got that off my chest).
