Don't mess with those ladies. Always have been fascinated by that building, it was nice to finally have a 'tete-a-tete' with it. Built in 1816, in Greek Revival style by Inwoods farther and son, who visited and drew their inspiration from two ancient Greek monuments on the Acropolis in Athens. #urbansketch#illustration #stpancraschurch #inwood#urbansketching #watercolour#greekarchitecture #acropolis#londonarchitecture #stpancras

Quick sketch, while waiting for a friend. A highly concentrated with musicians, music shops and recording studios Denmark Street, just off Charing Cross rd. Despite the fact that half of the shops are closed on Saturday it was quite busy. I had to manoeuvre through the crowd. If to trust old wikipedia The Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, Elton John wrote songs and recorded their demos at its studios, which until 1992 was called 'The Pan Alley'. Parts of Denmark Street are listed to protect them, but other parts, away from the street itself, are planned to be demolished. #urbandiary #urbansketch #sketchbook #denmarkstreet #thepanalley
Was sketching at Waterstones bookshop cafe on Gower Street, Bloomsbury this morning, a guy walks in, pays for his coffee and for all the muffins that shop had and asks staff to give them away to customers. Thank you stranger! ☕️🙏🏼Note to all urban sketchers - a great spot for drawing :) This cafe has large floor to ceiling windows too. #actofkindness #waterstonesgowerstreet #gowerstreet #bloomsbury #urbansketching #urbandiary #watercoloursketch #waterstones #watercolour #londonbookshops
