Winsor Terrace in Beckton on bus route 101. In 1870 the Gas, Light & Coke Company began producing gas in this area of London. The coal arrived by boat and was unloaded at the firm's jetties along the Thames and at Barking Creek. Winsor Terrace was originally the firm's own private road for their own use. Several original properties survive on Winsor Terrace, with two-up-two-downs for the workers and generously proportioned end-of-terrace houses for foremen. The name Winsor comes from Freidrich Winzer who founded the company in 1812. By 1870, the head of the company was Simon Beck, who installed the firm's railway system and built houses for his employees. That is why the area is called Beckton. The Victorians had discovered a way to produce gas from coal, which was Beckton’s main activity. Many industries also used this process’s by-products to manufacture other products such as coal tar, ammonia and disinfectants. However, the Gas, Light and Coke Company decided pretty early on that it would be more profitable to use their by-products rather than sell them to other manufacturers. In 1879, the company set up the Beckton Products Works, becoming the UK’s largest manufacturer of tar and ammonia by-products. At its peak, the gasworks is thought to have employed 10,000 men. In the late 1940s, nationalisation saw the gasworks pass into the hands of the North Thames Gas Board. Over time, natural gas reserves in the North Sea made many gasworks like Beckton relatively redundant, and the plant was closed down in 1969, as it could not compete with natural gas prices. You can read more about Winsor Terrace on my website: www. londonroutemistress.co.uk. My mission is to travel on all TFL's London buses in number order starting from 1. Winsor Terrace can be found at Beckton station bus stop on route 101. #londonbus #lovelondon #ɪɴsᴛᴀᴘɪᴄ #london #hiddenlondon #bestoftheday #tfl #101 #londonunderground #exploringlondon #bestofthebest #britishhistory #londondecanted #mysecretlondon #transportforlondon #beckton #gasworks #terrace #eastlondon #victorianlondon #terracehouse

🏖️ The sandy shores of Tower Beach in the 50s 🍦 The popular city beach was made in 1934, with 1500 barge loads of sand brought to the site. 🚸 King George V wanted the sands to be enjoyed by the children of London, who might not have been able to visit the seaside otherwise. The beach was closed in 1971, now Tower Millenium pier sits where the sands once were. #oldlondon #towerbridge #atlondonbridge #towerbridgesands #towerbridgebeach #londonhistory #londonhistorybites #vintagelondon #50slondon #southlondon #se1 #towerbeach #lovelondon #hiddenlondon #thethames #mudlarking #londoninthefifties #londonbridge

A random weekday hangout at an empty minigolf place in central London? Count me in! The holes were wild, but really good fun, and it's even better when you're the only group there. Good cocktails too 🍹
Looking for where to grab a drink next in London?🥂 Thought I would throw together a little list of some of my favourite places in London for drinks 🥂 @amazonicolondon📍Mayfair Amazonico in the heart of Mayfair. They’re a Latin American restaurant but also have a great bar area serving up a wide selection of cocktails. The cocktails are a little more but they were all incredible. Definitely recommend ordering the Pinta De Ramos if you’re a gin fan. If you’re heading here after 6pm then find the golden stairs hidden behind the kitchen and discover OCTO which is a secret cocktail bar 😉 @broadwicksoho - Flute 📍Soho Located in the Broadwick hotel which hasn’t been open long is the stunning bar Flute. This is situated on the top floor. Can’t wait for the warmer months as they have a wraparound outdoor terrace that serves up stunning views of Soho and the London skyline. I love everything about this bar and this building. The interior is 10/10 and it’s the best place for chilled vibes with friends. Also recommend checking out the restaurant Dear Jackie which I was really impressed by. The whole hotel is an experience from when you first enter to when you leave. @drakeandmorgan - Devonshire Terrace 📍Liverpool Street A bar & restaurant near Liverpool Street with a covered terrace. They have heaters so perfect for all evening. The restaurant and bar menu features a range of modern European dishes. This is a great spot for after work drinks. The drink prices are pretty reasonable compared to places nearby. What’s your favourite drinking spot in London? If you have any other recommendations to send them my way 🥂☺️ . 🍹 @daniel_johneats . . . #mayfairlondon #londonbridge #soho #londonrooftops #londonterrace #londoncocktails #londonbars #summerinlondon #londonspring #londonsunmer #secretlondon #londonfoodguide #londonblogger #londonfoodblogger #londonfoodie #hiddenlondon

Today is #internationalworkersday 💪 The museum has many historical records telling us about the real people who worked for the Grand Junction Water Works Company, such as E.C Jacob who's job in 1905 was a messenger.📨 He was the lowest paid adult worker on the site at 12 shillings and six pence a week. His day was spent delivering messages around West London on his bicycle 🚲 his job was particularly vital when he had to deliver urgent messages to off-site workings, if for instance a mains pipe had burst.

One of the most sought after modernist flats in London. Overlooking Green Park with commanding views and expansive brutish balconies, it stands apart from the Georgian architecture next to it. Today such things would be unthinkable and yet the buildings sit happily together. St. James Place was built in 1960 by Denys Lasdun. It replaced a war damaged home. St.James is one of our most historic areas with over 60 listed buildings. What are your thoughts on modernist structures in these locations ? #watercolor_sketch #architecturelovers #londonlove #londonhistory #mayfair #hiddenlondon
The Great Exhibition opened on this day in 1851. The exhibition was inside a glass temporary structure the Crystal Palace which was located at Hyde Park. The event was organised by Henry Cole - the future V&A director - and Prince Albert, husband of Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom. The Koh-I-Noor diamond - the “Mountain of Light”, the world’s largest known diamond at the time,( see image 2 ) was one of the rare sightings among others.

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub. One of the most historic pubs in London. There was a pub at this location since 1538. The pub was rebuilt after the fire. One thing is clear: sovereigns come and go. The pub stands. We had a dinner reservation here but ended up going to a different place. As interesting as it looked, there didn’t seem to be anything on the menu our kids could eat as a full dinner 🙁. And a couple more photos from St Paul’s Cathedral

"Wild about babies" 🦍 📍 Paternoster Square Near St. Paul's Cathedral, London Have you seen the latest free art instalment near St. Paul's? These animal statues have been in the square since January 2024, illustrating a mother gorilla watching over smaller, endangered baby animals. I was quite amazed at the sheer size of the 3-meter gorilla, especially with all the fine details. Their placement near the cathedral serves for a really beautiful photo, too. You'd be surprised how quiet the area was. The majority of people were wandering around the outside of the cathedral only, whilst this was only a few steps away, hidden in a courtyard away from the main tourist hotspot. I've since noted online about some other similar art installations that I'd love to go and see.

One of a dozen bollards at St Katharine's Docks on bus route 100. The group of 12 bollards at the entrance lock of St Katharine's Docks in Wapping has been designated grade II listed. They are made of cast iron and on the top of each is written "St Katharine by the Tower". This is the name of the hospital that originally stood on the site, founded in the twelfth century, and which was demolished in the 1820s, along with over a thousand houses, slum accommodation for 11,300 people - in order for the docks to be built. The bollards were built in 1828 to the designs of the Scottish civil engineer, Thomas Telford. As well as the writing on the top, each bollard features a relief of Saint Katharine, holding a sword in her left hand and standing by a wheel, both of which are the instruments of her martyrdom. St Katharine was an aristocrat living in the 4th century who refused the Emperor Maximilian and was punished by being tortured on a spiked wheel before being beheaded. You can read more about the bollards at St Katharine's Docks on my website: www. londonroutemistress.co.uk. My mission is to travel on all TFL's London buses in number order starting from 1.

Manifold sculpture at Moorgate station on bus route 100. This bronze sculpture is by British artist Conrad Shawcross with its full title of Manifold (Major Third) 5:4. It's located outside the Elizabeth line entrance to Moorgate station and is part of the Art on the Underground project. The large bronze sculpture represents a chord falling into silence and is taken from observations of a Victorian pendulum-driven harmonograph (a mechanical apparatus that employs two pendulums that draw the oscillation of a sound wave) to map the complex shape of a specific piano chord that is falling into silence. Mr Shawcross specialises in mechanical sculptures based on philosophical and scientific ideas and is a member of the Royal Academy of Arts. He was commissioned to make this sculpture as part of the Crossrail Art Programme and it was placed here in September 2023. You can read more about Manifold Major Third 5:4 and other sculptures on my website: www. londonroutemistress.co.uk. My mission is to travel on all TFL's London buses in number order starting from 1.

The Gun is a Grade II listed public house at 27 Coldharbour, in the isle of Dogs. It takes its name from the cannon which was fired when the West India Docks first opened in 1802. The pub has occupied the plot of 27 Coldharbour since the early 18th century under various trading names. It was first called The King and Queen in 1722 before being renamed to The Rose and Crown in 1725 and later Ramsgate Pink in 1745. It took on its current name, The Gun, in 1771. Lord Horatio Nelson is commonly associated with The Gun having lived locally and where it is said that he visited the docks to inspect the guns. In addition, he would frequent the pub to secretly meet Lady Emma Hamilton in an upstairs room (now called The River Room) for their affair. There is also a long association with smugglers landing contraband on the site and distributing it via a hidden tunnel. To this day there is still a spy-hole in the secret circular staircase to watch out for “The Revenue Men”. The pub was restored after a fire in 2001 which kept it closed for 3 years. #architecture_london #lookup_ldn #bricksoflondon #architecture #history #london #londonstreets #londonarchitecture #thisislondon #secretlondon #hiddenlondon #londonphotographer #city #citylife #londonist #wanderlondon #prettycitylondon #wanderlondonstreets #pubs #londonbylondoners #londoncity #eastend #explore #timeoutlondon #londonist #visitlondon #thisislondon #ldn #cityoflondon #isleodogs

One of my favorite picnic spots in london, the secret garden in Regent’s Park 🌷 • • • #picnicspot #picnic #london #londonparks #garden #secretgarden #hiddenlondon #secretlondon
🪶The Little Vagabond - William Blake (1757-1827) 🟢 Radical artist and Soho native William Blake harboured a deep vein of scepticism and distaste for organised religion. In this poem, he questions why religious worship should be grounded in earthly suffering and suggests a benevolent God would rather see his children warm and fed, as they might be in a pub. Today, Soho’s concentration of pubs significantly outnumbers that of its churches, though in recent times its bohemian spirit has been chiselled away by property investors, rising prices and mismanagement by local authorities. The building Blake grew up in was razed in 1960 to make way for flats. 📚FULL POEM📚 Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, But the Ale-house is healthy & pleasant & warm; Besides I can tell where I am use’d well, Such usage in heaven will never do well. But if at the Church they would give us some Ale. And a pleasant fire, our souls to regale; We’d sing and we’d pray, all the live-long day; Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray, Then the Parson might preach & drink & sing. And we’d be as happy as birds in the spring: And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children nor fasting nor birch. And God like a father rejoicing to see, His children as pleasant and happy as he: Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the Barrel But kiss him & give him both drink and apparel. #londonliterature #londonphoto #explorelondon #londonbooks #hiddenlondon #londonpoetry #discoverlondon #londonpics #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetrylovers #literature #bookstagram #literaturequotes #literaturelovers #englishliterature #greatwriters #londonhistory #historiclondon #londonheritage #soholondon #carnabystreet #williamblake

The other day during a free I decided to edit some photos of faces that I had in my camera roll and create a zine from them! This was my first time ever creating a zine and I really really like how it turned out and I’ll DEFINITELY be creating some more in the future!! I will be hiding these zines in and around London today so if you’re around London keep an eye out and you could be the owner of one of these! I’m thinking about putting some around the Underground, Borough Market and possibly even the Tate Modern?! In the next few days I’ll be posting the pages in the zine so you’ll be able to see what sort of images are inside! #zine #faces #portraits #freeart #hidden #london #hiddenlondon #train #tatemodern #boroughmarket #hideandseek

Exploring hidden London! The Aldwych (or originally the Strand) station.. opened in 1906 and parts were closed as early as 1917!! So interesting to learn how it was used over the years! #quatchi #adventures #hiddenlondon #tfl #seesomethingnew #abandonedstation #lovelondon #aldwychstation #tunnels #underground
