I started this photographic project at Lambeth North Tube station which, according to some, is the location for Go on the London Monopoly board! I had expected to re-visit the tube station, to pass Go and to end the project where it had started. However, when I was planning my final shooting trip I saw that the tube station was closed for refurbishment. So, instead of Lambeth North I concentrated on the £200 you get for passing Go. My final image is a photograph of what looks like about £200 in various currencies. It was taken in Tate Modern and is a donation point for visitors. Over the past year I have visited the Tate on many occasions and decided on my last visit to join as a member. So, if anyone fancies a visit just let me know and I will be happy to get you in! I hope you have enjoyed these photographs and stay tuned for further updates as I decide what to do with the images. p.s. One of my photography friends asked me which were my favourite images from the project. If you would like to see please click here. If you have any comments or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thanks for getting this far. . . Peter

<Back to Pall Mall See all monopoly posts Forward to Whitehall> After a good rest it was back to the street picking up where I left off at Pall Mall. Next stop Electric Company. I thought I might look out EDF as they were very close, but it was a location I knew I would revisit, so I looked further afield. I decided to stretch the idea of the electric company to a location which used to generate electricity. . . Tate Modern. The walk is a nice gentle one, down to the river and then over the Golden Jubilee footbridge, then east past the London Eye and all along the Southbank and keep going for about 30 minutes until the stunning Tate Modern comes into view. Once there I spent some time in the turbine hall (one of my favourite places) and where I took 2 out my 3 images. The third is a reflection in one of the windows of the newly opened extension. If you look you will be able to see the ancient and modern reflection of me and the Shard (another of my favourite photographic locations). It was a lovely clear sunny day which contrasted with the relative darkness within the turbine hall. I made the most of the contrast which I thought gave some interesting images.    From Tate modern it was back to Whitehall. If I ever do this tour again I will definitely cut corners and do some locations out of order. It would save a lot of time as I am now heading back Whitehall which is very close to Pall Mall, where I just came from!
