My favorite place for a rewarding shot of macciato is at the Pavillion Cafe in Victoria Park. Nevermind it’s a construction site at the moment preceding the Olympics 2012, the pond and the foliage delights every time.

My brother said the other day: ” I never thought I am a foodie until I moved to London.” That’s all thanks to the abundant markets around town and all the wonderful food there is on offer there. This is a picture of my neighborhood one – the Broadway market. A side street off of it on the market day, when the coffee man brings his pop up coffee shop to the intersection of Broadway and Dericote St. on Saturdays.

In the past three days pianist James Rhodes has performed on this exquisite Steinway piano at the Riflemaker gallery. The instrument literally took up half of the space of the gallery’s ground floor. The rest was left to the revelers of the beautiful music. The lovely gallery director Tot Taylor also granted us a preview of the gallery’s offerings for the upcoming Frieze Art fair.

On the way to the West End. This is one of the least pleasant parts of the journey, looked paint – worthy yesterday for some reason, must have been the clear skies.

The glass and steel structures give a perfect opportunity to concentrate on the skies above.

There is a quiet park hidden away off Brick Lane that offers a sweeping view of the city skyline and the clouds over the new overground rail link in London. Try to never miss it on my regular trips to Atlantis art supplies shop. Keep looking up the skies.
