Dr Johnson’s House

I was reminded today of this photograph I took of Dr Johnson’s House in London last summer.

Dr Johnson's House

Dr Johnson’s House is a writer’s house museum in London in the former home of the 18th-century English writer and lexicographer Samuel Johnson. The house is a Grade I listed building.

It’s very close to our London offices and I sometimes see it when I would go out for a lunchtime walk.

I photographed it again in March of this year as part of my #366photos project this year.

It certainly wasn’t as sunny then as it was back in August.

Back in 2011, Dr Johnson’s House was used as a printer’s workshop.

It’s a lovely piece of London and nestled amongst all the modern office blocks are lovely houses and buildings like this.

Just to note that I am following government advice during this national emergency and the photograph was taken during my government sanctioned one form of exercise per day.

Ralph McTell has updated his hit Streets of London

It began with a conversation between a foreign correspondent who loves ballads, and his neighbour, a legend of the British folk music scene.

The result was Ralph McTell agreeing to write a new verse of his legendary hit Streets of London – something he’d always previously refused to do.
