Went today, and it was absolutely stunning. Real street photography through the ages. When I say real street photography, each image illustrated some thing about the person/s, the places, the activities and the atmosphere of London throughout the time span, not just images of people in the street as we so often see today.
The place was crowded with people of all ages.
Two pictures stick in my mind. One a group of people outside a pub in the East End with a character called 'Hooky Harry' and another of a West Indian immigrant from the '50's ironically holding a carrier bag with the name Powell on it.
If you are interested in this genre of photography, it's a must visit. I'll definitely be back.
