Living near two of the busiest London boroughs can be noisy and disruptive, but we find it endlessly stimulating! Just going about our daily routine we find small surprises, like this Invader artwork outside a busy fast food joint...

| Glittery rainbow tiles - maybe Invader was celebrating Pride! |
...or a beautiful wallpaper shop with a whimsical name that happens to be selected for the London Design Festival.

| Timorous Beasties |
This time we went looking for our favourite neighbourhood subject: doors!
Islington was a famous borough of wealthy Londoners since medieval times, and really flourished in the 17th and 18th century. These days it's much more diverse and still a lovely neighbourhood, with most of its old houses and the Gothic church not only preserved but in daily use.

| St. Mark's Church |
London doors exemplify antique glamour, and Islington has some of the most classic.
Beautiful glass and metalwork, and unusual doorknockers, catch the eye.
We like to joke that if you keep your eyes open, inspiration might not only be right outside your front door, it might even be your front door!
