I forget offhand where I first picked it up, but lately I’ve been really enjoying Emily Webber‘s London Shop Fronts blog:

It is, quite simply, photos of various shops around London taken at street level and usually quite closed at the time. The blog itself consists only of these images which I find to be entirely refreshing and enjoyable. Due to the time difference, they usually hit my RSS reader just before I’m up and having my usual morning-coffee-in-the-dark-staring-out-the-window time. It’s become a quiet urban zen type of moment for me, and I’ve realized that I prefer it much more than anything an overly romantic skyline view of one of my favorite cities has to offer. London from street level is absolutely the real charm of the city.

Gratuitous extra link here.
