Sunday Snap – Dog Man

It seems I stumped everyone with last week's Sunday Snap of the London Christmas Tree. As I mentioned the tree comes from Norway each year. It is a gift from the people of Oslo as a token of gratitude for the assistance of the people of London during the World War II. The tree is placed between Nelson's Column and the National Gallery in...

Trafalgar Square

If you still want to see this year's tree you will need to be quick as it will be taken down tomorrow to be sent to the dreaded shredder.

We are still in London for this week's photograph. This area was once well-known for its flower, fruit and vegetable market. In the past 40 years it has been transformed into a retail space complete with cafés and bars. Throughout all its changes one thing that has remained are the street performers. Samuel Pepys made note in his diary in 1662 of a Punch and Judy show – the first known written mention of such a show in Britain. So from a man dressed as a dog to jugglers and fire eaters the tradition of street performers lives on to this day. This week's question is:

Where is this London location?

  7. Ah.. street performers! This was definitely the new trend last time I was there. It's moved on a bit from the golden performers and the levitating people!
