Enough! This is your Bishop Information Minister speaking. I'm back to Paderborn, where the Council of Bishops got together to decide about the fate of the person known as The Cartoonist. HarHarHar. Forget it. Streets of London? Forget 'em. Over and out. London by Night? Forget it. HeHeHe. Here's Berlin by Night (not), as performed by PVC. A special for Schockwellenreiter. I am sure that both Knut Schaller and the record company will forgive me - the tune will be dead and removed by probably Sunday Morning. I promise. Be quick. Oh: Are PVC still around? Now that'd be great. 8:46:36 PM     |

Night. It's getting dark in London. Evening. Night. Oh: London by night. Check out the photographs of the Streets of London at Night by Peter Lutz. Please do. The Bishop Information Minister will be back soon. I'm scared. Takes some time waiting for the ink to dry...I can't get him into the scanner, the guy's just too wet! 6:04:33 PM     |

Lost streets of London. Lost. Lost. Just lost. The Lost London Street Index. THE LOST LONDON STREET INDEX AN INDEX OF LONDON STREET NAME CHANGES AND THOSE THAT ARE NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE OR SHOWN ON MAPS Broken keyboard? 4:58:02 PM     |

How to draw. Although I'm not quite sure how this fits in with the 'Streets of London' theme, I thought it worthwhile posting. Here's Drawing the Union Jack Accurately. Serious stuff. 12:47:25 PM     |

Snow. The streets of London in 1859. A historical map with sites of Victorian London during the time of Dr. John Snow, the prominent epidemiologist and anesthesiologist. Mhm. I also wanted to post a link here to a somewhat more modern London map, but changed my mind after having read this entry. The streetmap company apparently has no idea of how the internet works... .../disclaimer.htm makes for interesting reading. Particularly, "Otherwise the reproduction, copying, downloading, storage, recording, broadcasting, retransmission and distribution of any part of the Streetmap site is not permitted." Arguably, that actually makes it impossible to legally browse their site. So here's another old map of the streets of London instead: Greenwoods Map of London 1827. 10:50:37 AM     |

Whitechapel. Streets of London frequented by Jack the Lad more than a century ago. 10:23:47 AM     |

Cards. Postcards of the streets of London. 10:18:41 AM     |

Is this you? Photos and notes lost or discarded in the streets of London. Via Mecca's Mind the Gap - The Making of the Book weblog, which I can't promote enough. 8:10:58 AM     |

Intrigue on the Streets of London. Trails is an exhibit dealing with spies, espionage and counter espionage in London. Just an ordinary bus stop on Waterloo Bridge? Not quite - this was the very spot where Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian dissident, was stabbed in the leg by an assassin armed with a poison-tipped umbrella - Markov died four days later in hospital. 7:58:16 AM     |

London Photos. Photographer Dan Heller has some nice pictures of the streets of London. 7:43:09 AM     |

The Streets of London. This is your Bishop Information Minister speaking. I'm disguised as a proper English Gentleman, because today is official 'Streets of London' day! The silly song, together with the stupid lyrics, is here. 7:32:53 AM     |
