Just found these London before and after photos on the BBC website.

Truly amazing, there are nearly 140 years between the photos of how London was then (shot by Henry Dixon - 1870s) and how our capital looks now (shot this year by Rob Ainsley).

Mostly photos of the city, we are privy to see the changes that have happened with buildings that either were bombed or spaces that would change as society changed.

View the photos on the BBC website.

Look closely, you can see extensions, renovations, or in the case of a couple, our food and drinking needs have wiped away the whole building.

An excellent slideshow of 12 photos courtesy of the British Library.

And a great warm up for the Points of View exhibition being hosted by the British Library that The Photo School is going to this Sunday.
