A stroll through Bermondsey street

Bermondsey street, once a shabby neighbourhood, full of derelict warehouses and old victorian houses is slowly becoming one of the hip areas of London. It is now home to around 15 restaurants and bars, a new food market under the railway arches, shadowed by the Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe.

St Mary Magdalen's Church


Gilbert and George's London Pictures at White Cube - comprising 292 pictures based on more than 3000 newspapers' posters they have stolen during the past 6 years


The images are grouped together by stand-out words: Money, Bankers, Tube, Racism and others, a reflection of today's London society
