This week's pictures come from a walk around Central London on a sunny afternoon this November. Their subject is colour in London. You might not think of London as a colourful city, but it really is, especially on the bright sunny days we seem to be getting more of nowadays. The classic London colour, of course, is the red of buses and phone and letterboxes, but the spectrum is much wider than that. There is a riot of colour in advertising and shop displays, but what is perhaps most characteristic is the way colour in London stands out against the city's still essentially monochrome buildings. The urban fabric is itself becoming more colourful and, with global warming, we can expect London to look more and more bright and vivid in the future. Unless it's all sunk, of course.
