Helen, Peter and Steve joined a Foyle's Event, a photographic walk lead by Anthony Epes to help photographers and hopefully produce photographs for an Exhibition on "Charing Cross Road."  17thJune 2013

I understood the theme was part of Cities at Dawn and so I looked for what was happening early, before most people are around.

	Friday 21st June 2013 We decided to attend the "Private View" of those pictures selected by Anthony Epes for the Foyle's WeLovePhoto! Exhibition.  We walked from Covent Garden Tube to Foyles at 113 Charing Cross Rd as per the map alongside. It turned out there were three of Helen's photos exhibited, two of Steve's and one of mine. 25 selected from 190 submitted.  After looking at the pictures we walked back to Leicester Square having a meal at the La Notte Rosa, Bella Italia, cafe on the way.
