London Links: Weekend 12

A cool, crisp, Autumn weekend. I think I may take the camera out for a little spin. Somewhere East, a bit gritty, maybe somewhere I haven’t been before. Perhaps a bit of shopping before I catch up with friends on Sunday. But relaxing. Fingers crossed for sun. How will you spend yours?

Here’s my Friday photo for you from HookedBlog. So London…

And, of course, the Friday link round up:

• If you missed it on the LLO Facebook page, love this stunning spraypaint piece by David Walker (who I interviewed a while ago) posted on Street Art Utopia. It’s beautiful. And in London.
• Hunt For Design picked up on two great London exhibitions this week: Fashion photographer Tim Walker at Somerset House and sculptor David Nash at Kew Gardens. Something to do this weekend!
• David from CabbieBlog contributed a guest post to Emm in London about making a living on Shoreditch High Street. It’s about George the dog, who I’ve seen before, and I’m sure many of you have too. Kind of reminds me of Bob.
