I found it quite difficult to d...@ John: Thank you! I found it quite difficult to do a decent, creative shot of that!<br /><br />@ Marion: Definitely. This is an area of great diversity but like so much about London, it tends to lose its history and get carried away in the grind of everyday life I think these pieces of art are important in challenging that trend.<br /><br />@ Ashwathy: I would certainly recommend it next time you are here. Or, I guess, I'd recommend seeing things you haven't seen before, especially if they have historical significance.<br /><br />@ Ola: Definitely. It is a great area!<br /><br />@ Oneika: oh, we'll have to change that! Museums and art can be quite cool if you get a proper introduction!<br /><br />@ Within Ireland: Yeah, you must check them out.<br /><br />@ Melizza: Those were the photos we took together!<br /><br />@ Jenny: I agree!<br /><br />@ Rob: it certainly is.<br /><br />@ William: Ah, well, you know I do like to mix modernity and grand old structures!<br /><br />@ Spiderdama: I like the goat too! Thanks for answering about the translation!<br /><br />@ Anne: No, don't worry. They are permanently on display!<br /><br />@ Bibi & Dominic: me too.<br /><br />@ AVCr8teur: Always glad to be of service!<br /><br />@ Alan: Ha!
