Black-headed gull on the South Bank of the Thames in central London.
Unfortunately I couldn't read the ring number, but many BH gulls move between the UK and central/eastern Europe.

"Write! The written letter endures!" Scribal wit at the start of financial records for London bridge in 1424. Cleverly, the scribe created the letter 'S' by folding a speech scroll, so the form of the letter conveys the meaning of the conventional proverb, "speech is fleeting but writing endures."

Waterloo Sunrise. I’m back in London for a day - the strange group of towers that now overwhelm the old, once stylish Shell Centre seen over the remarkable surviving terraces around Roupell Street adjacent to Waterloo station. #london

My clever friend Lynda Waterhouse is part of a team producing films for Southwark starring residents of Elephant and Castle talking about their childhoods and formative years in the borough. This is the latest.

Considering its proximity to TFL's head office, Southwark station is remarkably poorly maintained. The escalators seem to be consistently turned off or under maintenance. It's pathetic, but expensive.
