In Maria Terrace E1 you find 1860s houses with marked gothic stylings and small but charming gardens. #EastEnd @TowerHamletsNow #urbanphotography

It's not all housing estates in the East End. Here are some 1820s cottages in Louisa St E1 - simple design but showing clear Georgian stylings in the doorframes. #EastEnd @TowerHamletsNow #urbanphotography

An atmospheric moment caught between light and dark by @PamJMarchant. It's suggestive of so much, difficult to pin down - which is what art is all about. #IndieArtists #artforsale
