29th March 2009: Blackfriars Bridge

The pedestrian bridge in this picture is a post millennium addition which is quite welcome as the old pedway was much smaller and grottier. London is a fantastic walking city but it's soooo big.

Having been a South Londoner all my life, well until I left the UK of course, I know this bridge well. Since I have been away they have added better pedestrian crossings to this bridge which are far more graceful and attractive.

It's nice to be this close to the network south east trains as they rush past taking people to their homes, families, lives and whatever. I have to say the trains have improved a fair bit since I left. Lot of nice new trains, more space and head rests which on a long journey counts for a lot.
