Join us for a relaxed Sunday wander through some of London’s most photogenic streets. Whatever the weather brings, we will make the most of it together. A good coat helps, but a sense of curiosity is even better.
We will be heading out on Sunday 1 March, with a gentle mid morning start. The City is usually much quieter on a Sunday, so it is a lovely time to explore without the weekday rush. It is a great chance to chat, experiment, and enjoy taking photos at an easy pace. I will be visiting some of these spots for the first time myself, so I am looking forward to discovering them alongside everyone. Whether you enjoy bold architecture, street moments, or creative techniques like ICM, there will be plenty to inspire you.
Where we are heading
We begin at Leadenhall Market, a beautiful place to warm up our cameras, before weaving through the modern skyline. The Gherkin, the Lloyds building, and the Scalpel all offer striking shapes and reflections that are fun to experiment with.
From there, we will take our time heading south towards the river, stopping at a few historic gems along the way. Some of these will be new to me, which makes the walk feel even more like a shared adventure.
Highlights on the route
- All Hallows by the Tower A peaceful and ancient church with roots stretching back to 675 AD.
- St Dunstan in the East Atmospheric ruins filled with greenery and soft light, perfect for creative compositions.
- Old Billingsgate A grand Victorian building with plenty of character.
Crossing the Thames
As we approach London Bridge, we will pass Saint Magnus the Martyr and the Monument to the Great Fire of London, both offering interesting details and angles.
Once across the river, Southwark opens up with even more to explore. We will pause by the ruins of Winchester Palace and the Golden Hinde, a full-size reconstruction of Drake’s famous ship.
Our final stop is Southwark Cathedral, a beautiful Gothic landmark and a lovely place to wrap up the walk, share a few photos, and chat about the morning.
This photowalk is open to everyone, whether you are picking up a camera for the first time or have been shooting for years. It is all about enjoying the city, learning from one another, and spending time with friendly people who love photography.
