London: Overture

If you have one thing left to do in 2013 then it must be to check out the extraordinary release Sundark and Riverlight by Patrick Wolf. I was lucky to see Patrick play a few tracks in an acoustic session in Strasbourg in November 2012, and it gave me a good impression of what the album with encompass, namely sharp acoustic beats in a good folk tradition. It might be advised to start with the Overture, and then move onto Hard Times, Together, and a cover of Lana del Rey's Born to Die, which has also received much acclaim.

Now for some picturesque impressions of Bloomsbury in the afternoon, with its grand universities and parks. 

I end with some night shots around Southwark and a picture from the South London Gallery in Peckham.
