For this relatively brief (less than a week) stop, we are staying in a new-to-us neighborhood, away from central London. Lots of great markets, restaurants and cool little shops.

there’s even a church with a small cemetery right around the corner.

Also within walking distance, The Tate Modern, which had an exhibit of Giacometti that was about to close. I was interested in seeing his bronze figures, but this exhibit gave a much more complete view of his work.

Early pieces influenced by African art

“Hands Holding the Void (The Invisible Object)” his first full length figure.

After a period of surrealism, his best known work, from the tiny to the larger than life.

I love this passage from a review of the exhibit in The Guardian:
