On My Own in London...

The following day, Jimmy headed off to work and I had the day to myself. Our flat was less than a 10-minute walk to Balham Station, which is both a train and Tube station. 

My first destination was a small art gallery showing prints of work by a German artist that I follow on Instagram: Volker Hermes, who creates Hidden Portraits using historic paintings as a starting point.

Afterwards, I took a long walk which included a tiny bit of Regent’s Canal, where I definitely will return...

…and Barbican Centre, a large performing arts center...

…with unusual architecture. 

That evening Jimmy and I took a long walk around Wandworth Common. Southwest London has a lot of green space provided by the concept of open common land dating back to medieval times.
