Yoko Ono at Serpentine Gallery

 This is a version of Wish Tree, by Yoko Ono

 Yoko Ono invites passers-by to write their desires onto a tag and tie it to a branch.

At the end of the exhibition, Ono collects the tags and she plans eventually to incorporate
them into another artwork,"as a concentrated accumulation of human yearning".

There is a cool seating area below, just right for hot summer days!

Why not sit on a Champagne cork to enjoy a drink!

first collaborative built structure in the UK.

Window shopping

 Basia Zarzycka at 52 Sloane Square has done it again.

She always has a wonderful themed window display

and this time it is to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.

And the Emma Hope shop next door is getting in on the act by

having this imaginative creation both in and outside the window.

One New Change

The roof terrace on the One New Change shopping centre.

A perfect place for a lunchtime break from the office.

The views in this Diamond Jubilee year are also spectacular.

HMS Ocean

HMS Ocean, the largest ship in the Royal Navy visits London.

Lots of people queued to be taken to the ship for a closer look. 

I preferred to do it from dry land with a long lens!
