Sometimes you come across a picture which perfectly captures a memory of childhood, but also matches that with a comment on the present.
And that is exactly what we have with John King’s photograph taken from the heights of One Tree Hill in Greenwich Park looking out across the river.
I can remember standing in the same spot aged about 10 sometime in the late 1950s.
As now the heights are a perfect place to view the city in the distance, but of course, the passage of 60 years have dramatically transformed the skyline.
And the rest as they say is John’s photograph.
Leaving me just to add, John’s own comment, “view over London from 'One Tree Hill' in Greenwich Park.
Out of the natural beauty in the park, the architecture both old and new to be seen, for the few minuets I was there three dads decided to point out the shard to their little children, not that they were interested”.
