Jane is a graphic designer, typographer, historian, permit-holding creative mudlarker and accredited tour guide. She has always been fascinated by the patchwork of historical details and quirks along our busy streets, from boot scrapers and coal hole covers to shop signs, mosaic thresholds and tiled façades.
In 2009, noticing that many beautiful old buildings were being replaced, she decided to spend as much of her free time as possible photographing the hints of history that remain on London’s ever-changing streets.
Her large collection of images quickly evolved to become Jane’s London, a website where she could share her observations and research. The collection of letters used for the Jane’s London masthead is made up from a cross-section of her photos and Jane will explain to us how they perfectly illustrate her never-ending London odyssey.
