I don't like it at all. I thought I would because I can enjoy a bit of fun art and kitsch but it just looks tacky. But maybe seeing it in the pissing rain wasn't the best idea.

Having seen it in the sunshine, I can confirm it doesn't get any better. I did find out that it's called THE END (capitals important apparently), it's 9.4m tall and weighs 9 tonnes.
It's just everything that's wrong with the world imo.

In photos: a walk around the Gordon Square park in Bloomsbury, central London -
During the lockdown, I pretty much visited every park - big or small - within three miles of Brixton, but this time I've travelled further afar and taken a look around Gordon Square, a small green space in Bloomsbury. Owned by the University of London, the park is part of the Bedford Estate and was

Great pics editor. I used to spend so much time around those places due to work and play. Not been on a train for almost a year. I think I'm going to have to get on my bike for some lockdown lookaround.
