If you are looking for pictures of past meetings, they have been moved to my Greater London page
I have always been interested in architecture. Even as a boy I was fascinated by church architecture, and so it's no surprise that, being good at maths, I became a structural engineer.
I'll be using this page as a sort of photo album of interesting buildings, monuments and the like in London, but don't expect to find touristy information here - there's plenty of good information elsewhere on VT already.
I hope that you will have a look at my pictures and enjoy the architecture. I visit London for work several times a month, so new pictures may crop up at any time.
Any and all comments are appreciated !
