From 2012-2015, I spent my lunch hours exploring the area around my workplace in Bermondsey and then Knightsbridge. The limits of the area were determined by the distance I could cover on foot, whilst still getting back to work on time.
It fascinated me that you could walk the same streets time and again and yet still find these elements that surprise.
