Here is a shot of the stunning St Pancras Hotel, peering over the stark modern building of the British Library. Modernity, history, all blending into one stormy sky. Black and White #20 London Old and New.

About susan sheldon nolen

It’s rare to catch me without coffee, a form of camera, or my beloved wire fox terriers. I love the history, the art, and it’s a massive part of my life, as I either paint, write, or get interrupted by my dogs, reminding me of the real world. I hope you enjoy your time here. It’s such a privilege to have readers.

    Such a contrast, though, of course, my eyes read it as the St. Pancreas Hotel. Hmm, wonder if such a place would offer free diabetes checks…

  2. Lol…now I got into serious trouble! A friend of mine picked up my nickname for the place, St Pancreas..lol..and then used it with all seriousness as its proper name. My my…run for the hills!

  3. This is exactly what I’m looking forward to most in London–the meeting of old and new. Really, I’m so very excited and your pics are feeding into it! 🙂

    • Hi SmallHouse…London has it everywhere! At first I was really upset about the changes, but now, I’ve grown to love them. You must go to Spitafield’s market, ( my next blog post) and see the old and the new there. You will get a good view of the Gerkin from the street!
      Enjoy, but rest your neck! Mine always gets tired from looking up and bumping into people whilst doing that! 🙂

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
