How COVID-19 has changed the urban landscape

How COVID-19 has changed the urban landscape

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone and everything, including quickly changing the way cities now look and operate.

In London, as in many cities around the world, health protection has been built into the urban landscape, in order for day-to-day activities to resume safely. Whilst tourist numbers are down in London, those who do come can be reassured by the safety measures in place.

This photo blog portrays some of the initiatives that have been adopted in the capital, including widened pavements to enable social distancing, hand sanitisers in key locations such as Piccadilly Circus, and clear signs and road markings to remind people on how to prevent the virus from spreading.

2020 – How I rang in the new year and new decade

2020 – How I rang in the new year and new decade

London always knows how to ring in a new year in style. Since I was little, I’ve always watched London’s dazzling fireworks display on TV –  it’s the best in the world – but I’ve never been able to go and see them in person…until this year.

2020 is a big year. It’s a new decade. So if there was any year I went to see the fireworks from the prime spot right opposite the London Eye, it had to be this year. And I am so glad I did!
