Verrückt!
Für die ständigen Besuche der buckligen Verwandtschaft gibt es jetzt den Reiseführer von Love Piepenbrinck. So muss ich nicht selbst immer mit dem Besuch durch die Stadt ziehen.
"Mit LOVE durch LONDON", als Buch und e-book für 4 aufregende Tage in einer der größten und phantastischen Städte Europas.
Meine Lieblingsecken, darüber hinaus ein paar Orte, die man wirklich gesehen haben sollte. Kein Standard-Touri-Programm, sondern Raum, auch völlig neue Seiten der Stadt allein, zu zweit oder mit der Familie zu entdecken.

Lovely bit of background:
"It is an awe-inspiring experience to enter this impressive church. Sometimes known as the Cathedral of the East End (although Stepney folk would argue that Dalston isn’t in the East End at all!) it is the biggest parish church in London, towering over the surrounding substantial gothic style houses. Surveyor of the Manor of Hackney, Chestor Cheston (Jnr.) was the architect of the church consecrated in 1870. The impressive tower was added in 1877-80 by E.L.Blackburn. The builders were Dove Brothers of Islington who are still in business today. Bridget Cherry describes the tower as a piling on of ‘Teulonesque effects with its ‘boldly striped upper part, the octagonal top with circular turrets and large gargoyles clustered around a stumpy gabled spire’ (S.S.Teulon was the 19th century architect of among other London churches St. Stephen’s Hampstead. Pevsner described him as ‘impressive’ but ‘hamfisted’). It possesses implanted in its side a working barometer, unique in Europe.
John Betjeman describes the interior as aglow with ‘scalding glass’. Over the years its Victorian character has been carefully preserved, particularly by the previous incumbent over many years, the colourful and controversial Rev. Donald Pateman. The Parish Magazine for Spring1985 carried the following full-page imprecation:
In 1945 A.Hitler was DEMOLISHED
In 1985 A.Scargill is being ROUTED!
SO MAY ALL THINE ENEMIES PERISH, O YAHWEH"
Test shot using Harman Direct Positive Paper in a Voigtländer Avus, to make a comparison with the shots from the MPP Micro Technical.
Using the widest aperture, f4.5, I exposed the paper for 1 second. The dial-set Compur shutter appears to have a closer equivalent exposure to the previous shot at f25, than the shutter on the MPP Micro Technical. I had recently re-set the focus scale on the camera bed, and this shot appears to provide evidence of the success of this, wide open and focused on infinity. There is a more prominent light leak; not all the metal film holders I have were actually designed to fit the back of the Avus, different camera manufacturers of the time producing slightly different profiles to their film holders.

If/when I get my canal boat, it . . . wont look much like this because this is a widebeam and I want mine to be able to move down the narrower canals and blah blah blah . . . but in spirit, this is my idea of heaven! It was early morning and silent as the grave when I came upon it by chance in Hackney Wick like some weird literary apparition - will have to pop back when it's open and lively - assuming my weird weird sleeping/working patterns ever let me!
This of course is the floating bookshop that was recently uprooted from failed to secure a permanent mooring in the Paddington area amid a lot of publicity - and rather a lot of BAD publicity for the Canal and River Trust (it didn't help that it was replaced by a big corporation coffee shop - one of the seeming millions in the city). It seems the canal is also succumbing to the ridiculous skyrocketing prices that will end up squeezing out most of what is truly valuable about London. But at least with a boat, you can move it - that's kind of harder with a house!
But whatever the stories and whatever bitterness lies over this city these days, it was great to encounter this boat here - it quite made my day. It's a symbol of one of the hardest things to do in London these days - keep a small individual spirit alive.

Hackney Wick, London E9, is a run-down industrial area on the borders of the London Boroughs of Hackney,Tower Hamlets and Newham; which was once little-known outside the immediate vicinity and rarely visited by outsiders. However it lies just a stone's throw from the Olympic Park and now being revitalised by artists and creative enterprises.
