A good snapshot stops a moment from running away. ~Eudora Welty

If you desire a break from London's forthcoming (crosses fingers in fateful hope) heat wave; slide along the South Bank and slip into the Museum of London, parked timidly between St Paul's and the Barbican, sashay down to the lower ground floor where you will find the London Street Photography exhibition. 

A small, charming and informative collection of 59 street photographer's work dating from the late 19th century to the present day, juxtaposed with a 20 minute documentary 'Behind the Lens' following 3 photographers' examination of the political reduction between anti-terrorism and privacy laws, and the metamorphosis of London's inhabitants.

Pop along to this peaceful and passive showcase running throughout the summer until 4 September 2011. Free entry to all, for either a 20 minute fling or an hour of contemplation about our beloved city's social development... If you enjoy people watching and photography I highly recommend this exhibition.
