Sunday Snap – Love locks


In last week's Sunday Snap we had a Royal Park, large lake and a reflection of the London Eye coming over Horse Guards. We had several correct answers last week. Stephanie, Mina, Sarah, Ryan, Gretta, all knew it was

St. James's Park

Since it was St. Valentine's Day yesterday I thought I would have a touch of romance in this week's photograph. In the last 10 years love locks have become a feature of many European cities. In some locations they have been considered vandalism due to the fact they cover up historical sites, in particular bridges over rivers. These love locks are attached to an old wire fence behind which lies an area of waste land. Round the corner is a train station which opened in 2010. The whole area has in recent years been a contrast between edgy, creative areas filled with street art and trendy apartments to the original bomb devastated buildings where poverty and prostitution once lurked. This week's question is

Which area of London are the love locks in?

Talking of street art we were joined last week by Art Street Life and their photograph of The Spider by the street artist Phlegm.

I'll share my favourites with you next week and remember I do like a bit of a tale to go with a photo but it's not a necessity!

  7. I reckon Kings Cross! I live in Bristol and people aren't happy at the moment as the council have just cut all of the locks off of one of the bridges over the river!
