View of Oxford Street from 94 Bus (Public Domain Photograph)

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I took this quick photograph of Oxford Street, London, from the top front of a 94 bus this morning at approx. 9:00am.

You can see other red buses, some commuters going to work and the Oxford Street Christmas Lights above.

It is quite difficult to get a good photograph from a bus for a number of reasons – you need a good seat, the bus shakes as it moves, the windows are often smeared or have marks and people get in the way…. :-) just to name a few.

Still, it gives the opportunity to get a photograph of a scene from an angle that would otherwise have been unavailable.

I place this Carbuncle’s Blog photograph of Oxford Street, London in the public domain, as far as I am able, and allow any use including commercial – check the terms of use here.

Literary House in Fitzroy Square, London (Public Domain Photograph)

Friday, November 9th, 2007

This house in Fitzroy Square, London, was home to two very famous writers at different times – George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf.

Fitzroy Square is a Georgian square in Central London in the area known as in Fitzrovia which is just north of SOHO.

If you are travelling by London Underground the nearest station would probably be Warren Street Tube. It is within walking distance of Goodge Street Tube.

Fitzroy Square was partly designed by Robert Adam and there is a sculpture by Naomi Blake in the garden in the center of the square.

Fitzroy Square is also home to the Liberia Embassy and the Mozambique Embassy. The embassy of Croatia is located on Conway Street, which is just off the square.

There are two other posts that feature the Virginia Woolf Blue Plaque and the Geroge Bernard Shaw Memorial Plaque which you can see on the front of the house in this photograph.
