I'm going to do a bit of street stuff around brick lane on Saturday but also wanted to take the usual pictures of things like the Gherkin and Lloyds. After that I'll be doing some night stuff to include the Millennium and Tower bridges and Westminster.

Can anyone advise how far the likes of the Gherkin and Lloyds are from brick lane, and whether the others are all within walking distance of each other? For the night stuff, I'd need to do Westminster last as I'll be heading back to Waterloo.

Cheers.
 
Hi Dave the tubes are having a load of works with bus replacment I think you best bet if you are coming into Waterloo is find a number 26 bus from outside station and that will take you to liverpool street and brick lane is close by if you go past the stationto Bethnal Green road and its a short walk to the Top of Brick lane.
As you walk down towards the bottom it a short walk across to Gherkin and such then not far down to tower and bridge you can get some good pics on south bank or jump on a RV1 which will take you back to waterloo.

No Waterloo and City line on Saturday but the Central line is running for Liverpool Street.

Spittalfields is between Brick Lane and Liverpool Street, you can even go down Fournier Street and take a photo of Gilbert and George's house, cant remember which nimber though. From Brick Lane to Gherkin/Lloyds is about 15 minute walk, faily easy to find! ;o)

I would then head to St Pauls, another 5-10 minute walk then over the millenium Bridge, left for Twoer, right for westminster but all along the Southbank is great for shots.

I would stay on foot and enjoy the walk and hopefully the weather. I would offer to join you on Brick Lane as I live round the corner but I am away this weekend.
 
I'm doing a very similar thing next weekend Dman. Can't wait.

Best bet is to print off a few Google streetmaps if you've not got an A to Z. Would echo what has been said above, defo go to the Southbank there is always something going on!
 
Cheers all, that gives me a good grasp of where I'll be going.
