A nicely caught expression and mood in this black and white photo of a girl as she walks through the west end on a cold and damp night. The lights of a big city... by Che-burashka of the Londonist Flickrpool.......

There was some talk of it snowing on the weekend and if you managed a nice lazy lie-in on Sunday then chances are you missed it as it didn't hang around for long. Lucky some of our Londonist Flickrpool members are up nice and early. Roll the Dice has captured this very wintery moment of St Pauls in the Snow.......

A glowing neon-like light zooms across a bridge through Camden like it has appeared from another dimension, a ghost train from yesteryear or so we could imagine. Simon Crubellier from our Londonist Flickrpool has managed to capture motion, speed and light in his photo of the Ghost Train.......

In case you missed the spectacular warm peachy glow over London yesterday in the late afternoon, Kayode Okeyode from our Londonist Flickrpool managed to capture the gorgeous colours as the sun set over Hammersmith. We've never seen the Hammersmith flyover look so good.......

We've been told that there is light at the end of every tunnel but you would have to be brave to walk down this eerie Woolwich tunnel to find out. Would you brave this one alone? To the bowels of the earth... is superbly captured by Steve_w of the Londonist Flickrpool.......

Or, 'the things you see in Hoxton'. This unlikely duo were part of the recent performance of Snout, played out around the streets of that shabby area. See more on the Urban Tapestries blog.......

Ah, the glamorous life of the street entertainer. These fine fellows were photographed yesterday in Jubilee Gardens, near the London Eye. Feel the giddy abandon and joie de vivre of South Bank performers at the very top of their game. Whoever can think of the best caption wins some chocolate coated nuts and an annoying bird-whistle-flute-type thing*. *Not really.......

Hard on the heels of the Photo of the Day, we thought we should mention the fact that there's currently some serious talk going on about establishing a real-life, honest-to-goodness, proper, physical, three dimensional, 'when I was your age all this was fields', Flickr gallery in London. Here's the general idea: Convince Flickr / Yahoo! to rent out a gallery space somewhere in London (nowhere flashy - maybe a community centre or a college).......

It's good to see a healthy young dead man really enjoying his food. This gem of a photo entitled All Natural Food is by Colin Gregory Palmer, one of our favourite contributors to the Londonist Flickr pool. We told you the dead were going to rise this Easter Weekend. We warned you that there would be an abundance of zombies milling around on South Bank, bumping into each other and generally oozing, schmoozing, supperating,......

This cheerful coach was spotted making its hot pink statement outside the British Museum this Easter Weekend. We don't know if it refers to the driver, the content of the bus or the quality of the journey it offers. We don't know if it is a message to the general public conveying what this particular coach company thinks of the people passing by or stuck in traffic next to it. All we do know......

A friend of a friend pointed us in the direction of this set of photos. Not very Londoncentric, in fact just some friends doing what we all do when we first get our hands on a new Macbook with its fancy little camera and software. So why a Photo of the Day? Well, the interesting thing about these photos is that they were automatically sent to Flickr sometime after the Macbook in question had......

We've been letting our Photo of the Day slot slip a little, but here's something to pull it right back into place. Not just a photo, but a whole set of them. cakehole got to see a bit of London that few of us ever do and managed to get some stunning shots: Royal Mail's private railway that used to carry mail from Whitechapel to Paddington. The whole network was mothballed in 2003. Please......

Thanks very much to fossy for taking this photo on the morning commute and then sending it in to us. Just imagine if all the London Underground's white boards were utilised in the same way as this one at Stamford Brook. Us blogging types would be out of a job... Note: You can now see Service Info up in all its glory on Flickr. Thanks again to Fossy and jonthedon.......

Another great capture from Orhan*. There's always something interesting going on in London as Japanese Dancers shows. And there's usually a couple of blokes stood in the background trying to work out what's going on.........

Thanks to the keen eye of readers like jollyness an awful lot of interesting London commentary, that would otherwise be lost, is digitally preserved for future generations. The above THEY WANT YOUR POD! displays the trusted form of the yellow post-it note to leave fleeting messages on our cultural landscape. Be sure to check out the companion piece to find out just WHY they want those pods.......

Graffiti commenting on graffiti? Graffiti commenting on us, the audience? I don't get it as snapped by Bravo 99. We're looking forward to seeing a stencil of graffiti being painted over by stenciled council workers.........

We heard there'd been a slump in the markets. We didn't think things were this bad. The financial times, forced to hawk batteries on the streets of London Bridge. Shocking. Photo by M@.......

Pac-Man! Playstation 3 and Wii be damned. It just doesn't get better than the little yellow guy and ghost gobbling. An easy win then for cowfish. Tomorrow we'd like to see some Manic Miner please.......

Ok, there's a few things going on here. First up we love a bit of the ultraviolence so we're always going to get a happy on over anything Clockwork Orange related. Secondly, Bravo 99's pic is part of a whole Guess Where London set, which, thirdly, reminds us to mention the official Guess Where London group. And if the pic made you sit up and blink, don't forget to check out this Graffiti in......

A Disney movie you probably won't see anytime soon. Winning hearts and minds by forzagaribaldi features a couple of posters we haven't seen ourselves yet from a series that seems to be entitled Operation Magic Kingdom. Mickey may look pretty lethal in that get up, but everyone knows that Donald is the one with the short fuse.........

We know exactly where this is, having coincidentally walked past the same spot last weekend. The fallen silos can be found on the Thames path along the western side of the Greenwich Peninsula. And this image can be found, with others of the area, on the photostream of magically named 'only because mushroom asked me to'.......

Well, the Switched ON London lights came to a close tonight. Fun while it lasted. Why can't the Bloody Tower always be lit in red? Anyway, here's one last look, through a mooring hoop, from the Londonist Flickr Group. More please. Image from idontlikeribena's Flickr photostream.......

If we weren't so cheap we'd send a card to every one of our readers today. But because we are very cheap (and don't want to explain how we know where you all live) you'll have to make do with a photograph that we didn't even take ourselves. heart is by johanna and is a timely reminder to give yourselves a new coat of paint before exposing your love muscles this evening. Happy Valentine's......
