I live in London and try to carry a sketchbook around with me when I can.  Sketches are often snatched - in the time it takes my partner to drink a cup of tea!  Some were done on International Sketchcrawl days.  This gallery is mainly devoted to plein air sketches of views of and around The River Thames and Canals and Parks and Gardens in London. 

Views of Galleries and Museums are also included.  Other drawings of interiors can be seen the Interior Drawings gallery; the interiors of London churches are inclided in the "Drawing the Bigger Inner Space" gallery.
