Lonely London - Documenting London Under Lockdown
During the global Coronavirus 2020 pandemic, I took the chance to drive around Central London and take some photos of the 'lonely', and, rather deflated-looking London. The normal metropolitan hustle and bustle of everyday was gone; streets left open, like a millionaires playground; left for nature, and the very few ventures. The pathetic fallacy of grey drab, alongside the powerful sound of silence, was a truly stark and bleak inspection into a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. This terrible disease has plagued this great city, leaving it trapped in time, a rare historic moment.
A man alone at a tube station, watching the pigeons.
Kew Gardens station at midnight, abandoned, left for the foxes.
Once bustling streets, left empty.
Attractions left forgotten, only being seen by passers-by.
Empty crossroads.
The traffic lights signal to nobody.
Stretches of abandoned open road.
Trafalgar Square.
A woman walks past abandoned construction works at Battersea Power Station.
A lone man cycles off into the distance behind old and new.
A picture of the future.
