Capital Ring

Not long before the first Covid lockdown, HB Drawing started a new project walking the Capital Ring, a walking route put together by Transport for London and organised in sections starting and ending at stations.

Like our previous walking project, we find ourselves walking through everyday London, the residential areas where many people live but few tourists set out to visit.

These drawings explore the unspectacular places, objects and views that you can find almost anywhere and that link one place to another. Each drawing merges two images. The foreground in one image floats to the background in the next image.

The titles come from the What Three Words app, which allows every 3 metre square of the earth’s surface to be identified by a unique triplet of words.
