I think the first pic is from good street view. The second could well be default settings on whatever the camera model was.

I wandered down there just the other week, probably hadn’t been there since Covid and man, if there was ever a living, breathing reason to pedestrianise central London much as possible, this is it. It is really serene, relaxing and a pleasant spot to be.

It used to be one of those places you’d only walk past if you **had to **.

Superb stuff!
