Is this a campaign

for alcohol-free communions

or just a chance for an actress / model

to show some playful spirit?

(London underground  stations. Lucky Saint is a beer with just 0.5% alcohol. The adverts timed to coincide with ‘dry January' 2025 feature photographs by Rankin. The agency involved explains that ‘the Lucky Saint name and brand world leans in to beer’s brewing history that began in monasteries with monks hundreds of years ago, and this is where we’ve taken our tone of voice from as well.’) 

I'm not one 

for speciesist assumptions: 

here's a pigeon headed for 

the entrance to the library.

(British Library, London)

This looks useful

in not being just for bikes:

seems any old thing

can be attached here for disposal.

 

(Clerkenwell)

 

3 a.m. …

Probably the optimum time

to suffer an emergency,

given the absence of traffic.

 

(Kings Cross London)

What happens in Dulwich

stays in Dulwich, as the saying goes…

So I threw this twist of green into the station bin

after it had seen me round the village.

 

(Dulwich, London)

 

One of these flowers

makes extra sense:

could any bee resist

the lure of a backlit bloom?

 

(St James's, London)

 

I knew I had to mind the gap –

who hasn't heard that?

Some gap in the mind

must be what I fell down.

 

(Waterloo Station, London)

 

 

This is a reasonably popular model

among those who feel

that you don’t want a fence

to cut off the view.

You might not expect much heat

to be radiated

from a homeless unit on the street,

but at least this has a pipe.

 

(Somers Town, London)

 

‘Water meets beer’?

In fact, it’s all in the natural family:

water meets the ‘citrus blast’

of ‘Mountain Dew’.

 

(Fitzrovia, London)

Building made of stone? 

I guess it's an option

If you run out of bricks

or mud or straw.

 

(Holborn, London: Stone Buildings were constructed from 1774-80 as the first step in an ultimately unrealised plan to rebuild Lincoln's Inn entirely in stone)
