This strikingly effective street mural in Fulham Road, west London, is a temporary installation – which, given its quality, seems a shame. It celebrates Prostate Cancer UK’s Man of Men, representing the hundreds of thousands of fathers, brothers, sons, nephews and friends across the UK who are impacted by this killer disease.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men: every year, globally, some 375,000 men die from this pernicious disease, including more than 12,000 here in the UK.
Prostate cancer is most certainly treatable if it’s caught in time – so it’s crucial than men should check their risk. It takes just 30 seconds. Go here: www.prostatecanceruk.org/muralqr Oh, and let’s hear it for Global Street Art, which funded this magnificent mural.

Abellio London route 345: Peckham, Bus Station - South Kensington
Bypassing Old Church Street (HJ), towards Royal Brompton Hospital / Royal Marsden Hospital (HM)
Ahead of their acquisition of route 45 this weekend, Abellio have introduced its new buses onto routes 345 and 381. For me, this made up for the occasions I had seen MMCs on the 345 and missed the photo opportunity.
As for the route, I was quite surprised to the point of anaesthesia with how long it is. Buses from Peckham to Vauxhall, then a 360 seems a quicker alternative to South Ken. Nevertheless, while lengthy in its entirety, I'm sure the links via everywhere Clapham helps frequent commuters of the route which is more important.

RATP Dev Transit London ADH45061 photographed in Fulham Road on route 414, 2nd February 2022.
This ex-Tower Transit vehicle was one of those transferred with the operations from Westbourne Park (X) garage to the new London Transit operation in partnership with RATP from 11th December 2021.
All vehicles were renumbered in the RATP fleetnumber series as seen here. Physical renumbering started in December 2021 but application of the new fleetnames only started during the week the picture was taken.
Note the new side fleetname is "RATP Dev Transit London A Partnership with Tower Transit". The position of it is unusual and probably not ideal given that it was bound to get dirty in service.
The route 414 contract had only transferred from Abellio on 13th November 2021.

London General route 14: Warren Street Station - Putney Heath, Green Man
Chelsea Football Club (W)
London General retained route 14 from Putney (AF) with new Enviro400H MMC buses back in November last year.
I have praised London General's initial batch of MMCs to be among the best examples of the innovative bus type in London. However, I've found Putney's batch to be relatively boring.
The one-gear acceleration characteristic of Alexander Dennis hybrid buses has its engine sound muffled by loud air-conditioning, which itself seems to operate in unison with the hybrid system. The quietest power mode, the electric motors, is therefore the most you can hear from the power which makes journeys less exciting.
Be that as it may, the EHs are equally shared between traffic-prone city routes 14 and 74 so journeys are generally not exciting. The 14 is the best route for the EHs, though, so again Go-Ahead's vehicle selection is on point as the 74 and 430 are both better suited and are, on paper, allocated WHVs.

I've known this iconic building for most of my life. An uncle and a cousin worked here. I used to find it strange but now I love it.
Grade II listed. 1905, extended. 1910. Architect, François Espinasse of Clermont-Ferrand. Two storeys, concrete and brick construction faced with glazed terra-cotta. Three bay front, the ground floor divided by ornamental piers, with ornamental ironwork below lintels. Ornamental cornice over. Large round arched central window with shaped gable over with tyre models as kneelers. Windows to right and left with rectangular heads beneath ornamental panels decorated with wheels and foliage. Small octagonal corner turrets to full height but with some red brick. Left hand return of ninr bays, right hand of five, with further, simpler windows behind. Return sides continued in similar style. Segmental and square headed windows on ground floor. First floor windows flat headed with words "Michelin Tyre Company Limited Bibendum" over. Ends with windows between piers; ornamental frieze between storeys. Open segmental pediments at intervals with inset faience tyres. The material is Bermentofts Marmo facing. Series of pictorial tile panels on the side elevations (ground floor) and inside the drive-in by Gilardoni Fils of Paris. The panels represent the racing successes of cars with Michelin tyres between 1900 and 1908, and in the fitting bay Edward VII and Prince George in their Michelin type fitted car.
In 1985 Michelin moved out of the building and in June of that year it was bought by Sir Terence Conran and Paul Hamlyn. Planning permission for a Restaurant, bar, major retail store and additional office space was obtained and a programme of extensive restoration of the building and reinstatement of many of its most prominent original features was begun.
The architectural style is a mixture of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
There are a total of thirty four tiled pictures which decorate the exterior and the reception area of the Michelin Building. The images for the tiles are taken from a set of drawings by Ernest Montaut. He was a poster artist who specialised in racing images. Most of the tiles are replicas originally made for the Paris headquarters. Gilardoni Fils et Cie went out of business shortly after making the second set of tiles.
Fulham Road, London. The Redback was formerly The Red Lion and is believed to date from the 1770s, although the elaborately tiled facade is obviously much later.

I've tried so many times to get a shot of this mosaic without table & chairs but even first thing it's impossible.
Bibendum Mosaic, the reception/café area of Michelin House.
Bibendum raises a champagne glass of sharp objects, demonstrating the repairability of the Michelin pneumatics. He is proposing a toast - "nunc est bibendum" ("now is the time to drink").
You'd think that they wouldn't place tables & chairs on the mosaic. I visit Conran frequently & always hope one day to find at least Bibendum's head is uncovered but no luck.

Zwischen Fulham Road und South Parade, nahe Old Church Street, befindet sich, versteckt hinter Mauern und ohne jedes Hinweis- und Informationsschild, der alte jüdische Friedhof von Chelsea, 1816 eröffnet, 1884 geschlossen. Ganz offensichtlich kümmert sich bis heute jemand darum, aber niemand weiß, wer, und wem das Grundstück gehört - einer der mehreren jüdischen Gemeinden oder einer Privatperson? -, und es gibt allem Anschein nach auch keine öffentliche Möglichkeit, den Friedhof zu betreten und zu besichtigen.

Today's image is in sharp contrast to yesterday's. It was a grey day with drizzle in the air, so ideal conditions to capture the atmosphere in one of London's oldest cemetries.
Brompton Cemetery, consecrated by the Bishop of London in June 1840, is one of the Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, now mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The cemetery was one of seven large, modern cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London. The inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead.
This is the entrance to the Bibendum Oyster Bar.
