Finally made it to V&A Storehouse to have a look around. Fantastic space, interesting things on display (especially the furniture and theatrical decor) & super friendly, welcoming staff. I shall go back with more time! Sorry, just a quick mobile phone pic, but it’s huge in there.

Some shots of the last day of cars, buses and taxis going up and down #OxfordStreet at Oxford Circus, before it goes #traffic free from tomorrow. It was busy and hectic there today - no traffic can only be an improvement. Pic set @Alamy_Editorial

Got up at 6am to photograph the Sunday morning media round at the BBC. It used to always yield nice pics. Sadly, Angela Rayner apparently decided not to do interviews outside =no pics. Sir Jeremy Hunt was more relaxed, so here are some shots of him instead. Set @Alamy_Editorial

Gutted to read that Diwali in the Square is now cancelled due to weather set up h&s concerns. Understandable. It's my favourite Traf Square, a feast of colour. If anyone knows of other Diwali festivities or performances, let me know. (am aware of Neasden Temple celebrations).

Ironically, in true British weather tradition, once I was done photographing maintenance on the Henry Moore statues in the morning rain, the sun came out at Kew Gardens. There are gorgeous colours showing on at least some of the trees, the view from the Treetop walkway is lovely.

On Wednesday AM, I photographed the lovely team from the Henry Moore Foundation maintaining and cleaning the Moore sculptures at Kew. It was pouring with rain, good for the cleaning process, actually, tricky for me, but I still really enjoyed documenting it. Pics @Alamy_Editorial

Such a beautifully sunny day today. I could swear there were still clear evening skies when I went into Muji. When I left the shop, it was chucking it down and hasn‘t stopped since. Meh. How long was I in there???

Lovely photocall at the Science Museum this morning, for their new exhibition 'Becoming America: How Science Shaped a Nation'. Very interesting, first time I've seen one of the rare copies of the declaration of independence. Pic set @Alamy_Editorial Note: embargoed until midnight

The three kings have arrived a but early at Liberty’s. 😉 Brief escape to the civilised world to look at some of their lovely fabrics for a project. I know it’s touristy, but I still love the charming old-world atmosphere here.

And some shots from yesterday, the very enjoyable Steampunk Spooktacular at the historic Victorian Crossness Pumping Station near Abbey Wood. What a stunningly beautiful building and structure. Definitely worth seeing, they are open to visitors on certain days.

Two more from Frieze London, because I really quite liked these two works. The first are two video diptychs by artist Russell Watson at new Black Curatorial Gallery, the second is a painting by Spanish artist Chidy Wayne at Southern Guild Gallery. All pic sets @Alamy_Editorial

And a few shots from Frieze Masters, which was very busy, but I must admit I prefer the somewhat calmer, more focused atmosphere there. Fewer influencers, more people actually interested in art. But what do I know. Both fairs were fab, together attracting c. 95k visitors.

Also went back to Frieze London and Frieze Masters for the last day of the fairs, some shots below. First up Frieze London with some very contemporary works. It was so large this year, that I nearly got lost when I went there on Wednesday.
