A canal-side walk being a genuine method of getting from point A to B is one of the best things about living in East London! 🌞

Hiked 12km to see my favourite viaduct up close! 🚂 Can you tell how pleased I was? #trains

Some much needed sunshine in East Anglia after a week of non-stop grey skies in London! 🌞

Went to my first ever local planning meeting to discuss the future of the Tesco site on Morning Lane — acquired by Hackney Council in 2017. I ended up doing much more listening than talking in the end, but it was great to take part in the conversation and advocate for more dense house-building. 🏗️

Guess who just passed their #drivingtest on the first try? Hint: it's me! 🙌 Happy it's done, but I will miss hearing older friends and family react in horror to the price of lessons nowadays (usually followed by telling me how little they used to cost back in their day). 🤯

I had a great time working with on this #photography assignment for @hyphenonline.com — it was a rare trip south of the river for me as we went to meet TikTok tailor Ridwan Fadlu-Deen, known online as Riddz. Spent the day following him through his process of customising a pair of vintage jeans. ✂️

You think we’d all be tired of elections after 2024, right? Well, you’re wrong. One of the last films I watched last year was Conclave — and I loved it! A fascinating look into the papal election process in the modern age. All photographers should watch it for the compositions + colours alone.

I’m really looking forward to watching Fury and Usyk battle it out in the rematch, but not as much as I’m looking forward to never seeing this ad again! Sums up the state of #copywriting in the age of ChatGPT. 🤮

Sony and #TfL reveal a new collaboration to promote the PS5 — featuring a custom moquette installed on Victoria line trains until January 7 2025. 🚇 Am I the only one who kinda loves these creative brand partnerships TfL is doing? #Transport #London

Went to see the striking new Letizia Battaglia exhibition at the Photographers Gallery in #London. Highly recommend it — my idea of ‘proper’ photography. #Photography

Walked 40 minutes from Islington to Hackney via Regents Canal today — need to do it again with my camera, so many interesting details to photograph! #London

Love this new feature from #Spotify! But, will having a live countdown make the wait for the new Sam Fender record easier or more difficult? 💿

The ‘Tram-Bus’ has finally hit the streets of London! These brand new zero-emission vehicles will serve the 358 route between Crystal Palace and Orpington in South London. 📍 Their unusual design is already proving to be divisive, what are your thoughts? 💭 #Transport

Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the Westminster Jubilee line station opened — they did such an awesome job designing this place, it’s aged incredibly well. #Architecture #LondonUnderground
