A Colour Walk is a gathering of creative people who lover colour and dressing up.

There are no rules and those who go believe the more colour the better!

This particular Colour Walk takes place once a month at the Old Spitalfields Market (at the Brushfield Street side of the market).

I would suggest that if you are going to photograph a colour walk that you too dress up in your most colourful clothing. You may not compete with the regular walkers but you will enjoy the experience all the more with some bright clothing on your back.

There is a Colour Walk every month, in the early afternoon on the third Thursday of each month.

It's often worth a walk down Brick Lane earlier in the day as you may see early Colour Walkers having their photos taken in this vibrant location.

The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive but please remember that the Colour Walkers are there for their own joy, not to be your subject. That said, most are very happy to be photographed and often enjoy a chat about their costume and why they are there.... in addition to posing for your camera.

The King's Cross neighbourhood has changed beyond recognition since I first visited the area in the 1980's. Then it was one of the shadier areas of London where you may not wish to visit after dark. But times change and development happens. These days the King's Cross area has had great investment and it's now an up market location for business, entertainment and residential use. It's appeal for photography has also changed but it's still a great location for street photography.

The station offers great opportunities for the subtle photographer. Leave your tripod behind, keep on the move and don't make a nuisance of yourself. If asked by station staff be happy to move on as it's not a publlic space where you have a right to photograph, but usually you will be fine. Behind the station is another area of opportunity as you move towards the Regent's Canal; and when you arrive at the canal you can decide to move East towards Angle or West towards Camden. Both make an interesting photo walk.

King's Cross is at the North of the Central London area and is one of London's major transport hubs. Trains, tubes, buses, taxis or your own two feet will all get you there quickly.

I have included a few images to give you idea of what to expect.
