Stalking The Strand with camera and pen, David Tucker presents a few new angles on one of London's most famous thoroughfares…Where the Wild Things Are
Maybe make this a twofer.
Or even a threefer.
The street signs here are joie de vivre jobs. Theatre masks and that jolly London red – think pillar boxes and double decker buses and fire engines and phone boxes.They’re Tudor rose street signs. All very much in extravagant contrast to their staid, restrained, work-a-day counterparts elsewhere in London. What’s not to like.
And these you will have seen. So no wow, never saw that before salmon leaps of excitement.
But wait a minute. What about this?
And this?
The three of them – well, they’re a fit, aren’t they. The Strand Trio, the Strand three-hander.
You seen ‘em? Know where they are? My guess is most of you haven’t.
And our “wild things” theme? Well, the theatrical goings-on down here – the showbiz buzz – can be delightfully wild. A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
