Paddington Stories
Stories and illustrations from a London childhood
My stories and illustrations capture my mother's crazy boarding house
and Paddington in the 1950s and 60s
Paddington was still recovering from the war and was a place
of gas lights, smogs, bomb sites and bitterly cold winters.
Experance those unique times with me.

About
I am photographer and storyteller based in London. Much of my work is trying to capture a world that has largely disappeared. My childhood in Paddington in the 1950s was not always easy, but it was vivid and full of life.
It was a world of gaslight, smog, sex and adventures and It's still there when I return to Paddington.
